With all of the trike interest these days, here's another take on a 3 wheeler. Put a 1000cc Honda inline 4 motorcycle engine into a TIG welded tube frame built just 2 tubes short of SCCA specs, add rack and pinion steering, Wilwood brakes, 6 point harness, Momo F1 type steering wheel and what do you get?
