*cringe*

That'd be scary even with an AT1 engine in it.... How narrow is the rear track? When did building a trike with a rear track narrower than a ATC90 seem like a good idea?

Pipes look just like the set of Yamaha RD350 chrome ones I have, Appears they have had upswept headers made. Still not the brightest light as most trikes were well um pretty evil, ever run over your own leg on one? Yes you have haven't you! ,as it is to do with your own eyes visual perception. you see the width of front end and your brain assumes that the rear is the same, like two wheeler. ::) Sidecars are different kettle of putrid fish entrails, they are more like outrigger canoes, very stable in the straight stuff, but corners can pose some well difficulties................

yerp. look like stock RD350 mufflers  turned upside down, note the ding in the rear section to accomidate  the footpegs
 Those tiny upswept headers  though look like they came of a CL175 twin.

 No wonder no one wants the thing with the pipes. He probably thinks he did a good job cause it all fits. Imagine how it would go if it could breath

If it went properly, he wouldn't be alive to try to sell it off...

Looks like a butchered RD frame to me.
