Health got me down but it cant keep me down, not for too long anyway. ill be back in the shop soon building more of Frankie (my Frankenstein, honda shadow 1100cc shaft driven water cooled v-twin 2 seater monster cart). There's so much to do on that beast! Pics when I have something more to show.

So, on the honda shadow project, I think I finally came up with a way to frame things up. My first focus will be on the rear end for now. Ive gotta be able to attach the utv axle to the bike frame. So Im basically gonna use the same design as kawasaki used on my bayou 220. Ill be adding to the frame to make rear control arm mounts and relocate shock mounts. The drive shaft is already fitted, it just needs to be welded once I have the control arms assembly and shocks installed. I dont foresee any major issues at this time, unless I have a problem with drive line angles. I have to have 2 joints (one is U joint and other is CV) because the pinion doesnt line up directly with the transmission output shaft while the axle assembly is centered with the bike. Later, ill be able figure out which design to use for my front suspension, eventually converting the new trike into a quad and on its way to become a 2 seater side by side.
