My 3 wheeler doodlebug

Looks good man. You might want to research "rake" I work at a motorcycle shop on the side when they need extra help and when they convert a motorcycle to a trike, they have different triple trees for the front end that changes the rake and helps it steer/handle better as a trike. They call it a rake kit. Not sure what it really goes by.

That looks great and very cool to see this little platform used in such a big way.

You may try welding on some steel weights to keep the front end down and behaving.

I'm wanting to build one just like this. Do you have a parts list ?

 

[Goinbroke2]

Parts list? Heck it was either crap I had laying around in the garage or stuff I bought at princess auto.
This is an old thread, still using it to pull the dragster, still working great. Thinking of building something different now though....

Here is another example of a doodlebug turned into a trike, similar method, slightly different look.
