This video is a walk around of the VFR Reverse Tryk to explain many of the common questions that are asked at car shows. If there are other questions, I will reply in the comments.

Strong design, great execution, and with no curves it would be easy to fab some aluminum body panels for partial coverage.
got so much you can do with that trike. look solid too. i have never build one yet, when i do, i will build one like that, well done brother
I'm telling you you have knocked that out of the ball park that is so neat. I like your video you explained everything so well.
Hi! I have at the moment a Honda VFR.. and was thinking of making a trike out of it. Your video posted in You Tube is a great source for a reference and inspiration. Will get in touch in the future once I get to working on it. Cheers!!
You bet, good luck! I will say, the VFR frame is not as easy to fab around vs other bikes because of the engine configuration. But not impossible, and such a good sounding engine!
great build ! i am envious . and somewhat pissed . now i have to go build something , thanks .
edit : i am originally from grafton ohio , now in florida .
@kevinpitts I like your build. I'm in the process of building my own trike, but I see you did everything I had a body I welded on a bike. I got all the wiring just need a lil help trying to make a shifter an also breaks I'm using a Harley sportster starting fresh
Nice build dude Only change I would try and get a wider swing arm to get a wider back wheel
STUNNING WORK!
I really respect the excellent effort! It's quite the "BattleWagon"! It would be a terrific platform for a
competition between universities engineering departments; to have the submissions be able to do
exactly what this Cycle can (Re: adjustability) Also invent the coolest space space-frame known to man.
Awesome job!
Awesome.I wish i had done something like that while i was still capable.Building trucks and equipment did me in.Be safe.
You would appreciate some of my fabrication and welding.My last construction job in 2008 was the entrance towers at Prudential Center in Newark,NJ.My first construction job survived hurricane Sandy the gates and railings for the bulkhead at Perth Amboy Marina always the lead man.I quit school at 14 and started working on cars.Should have stayed in school.Stay sharp.
How did you do the steering im making something but when i go to fast it starts swaying
That is one sick trike!
Love the Mitsubishi seats!
hi friend how can i get the blueprints of your project i would like to do one of these
Is the rear link suspension is able to support this weight
Gday
Love the look , awesome effort
Im considering doing a bike trike like that , just with a shell to cover it from the elements and fingers of people
Whats the LAWS like in USA to get this rego and road worthy like ?
very cool. nice job
I live in Cleveland, OH how how far apart are we?
this is too awesome
thanks but will you help me to assemble this car
Hey can u help me out with getting a frame done
Good job...how much did the whole thing cost ya not including time? And how long did it take ya?
Oh gorgeous 😬🤯
Hi, are you willing to share the schematics , im a biker but i currently dont have one id like to build something lile this from a crashed bike since i cant buy one
Looking at this now, I'd make a lot of changes. But I guess that's what you get when you look back at previous work, haha!
My buddy has it now
@@cjskylair Glad to hear it's still out in the wild! Got pics of what it looks like now?
Hey I saw this on Facebook 😊
sir your a great inventor!
@@hacktical521 where you from sir?can i have a chat with you on facebook?can i add you?
@@hacktical521 sir what is your facebook i will add you
Hello: I love your trike , I am planning to build one, can you give me the plans of it please? I’m planning to use either a bmw motorcycle or a Kawasaki hayabusa car
Your car looking very dashing look
cool modify build nice
Awesome Job I mean very well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What about the gears? And clutch
Are blue prints still not for sale
I've never owned a bike but want to. I'm an amputee since 1970, lost my right leg in a motorcycle accident. The trike should be perfect for someone like me. Thanks!
You go bro!
IM going to use the steering yoke and fit it to a go-cart frame I wil strengthen, so in effect, I could take my ninja all and replace the front falks hopefully lol
I love your trike but how do you go in reverse
Would you be willing to share the plans online for free or small payment ?
wow so beautiful, i want to build like that
Hi there, I want to to start by say wow nice job man, I live in central america Nicaragua a just got my self a honda cb 750 1996 very old bike very heavy too is a 4 cylinder and at first I want to do a cafe racer but after seing what you have done man I really want to do that too with my bike you think you can help me with the drawings for the framing
Very cool
How much would u sell 1 of these??!
I love this car
I love your car
i am recommend you study a way to put a rain protection acrylic bubble
how much it's cost
You can see that I've... done that a couple of times. LOL.
Bad ass bikes!
Olá existe a possibilidade de enviar o projeto ou vender
Hey, there is a bike stuck at the back of your trike...
Excelente🇩🇴🇩🇴🌎
What happened to the 1%?
Also , excellent job. That thing looks amazing,and sounds killer...
how to back vehicle?????? retrocede ese vehiculo...como????
the build is simple and effective 2 thumbs up man!
sir can you give me total size praim, pleace
Want to buy it how much
In WA state, if you have a steering wheel, a seat, and a seat belt, then you don't need to have a motorcycle endorsement, for a trike.
Im very impressed with the vehicle but have a couple questions.
Do you know the 0-60 time on it?
Also how much did it cost you to build?
Can you even sell the reverse trike since its illegal to sell custom vehicles under DMV regulations in most states? (I could be wrong about this).....
Ok,
Thanks
How much for you to build me one??!!!
Previous F1 racer?
Palmer?
Can I get the design plzzz????
Nice trike can you send me the plans I want to make a replica
Buenas amigo si tiene usted la lista de todos los accesorios que dentran en el ciche seria tan anable de enviarne a mi correo y las medidas del chasis o de lo contrario usted ne ouede brundar su correo electronico gracias
very clever man
How much would a diy cost be on this a close figure
Do you build for others?
simply you welded motorcycle's rear frame to handmade frame sorry but how much it could be safe ?
Did you not see the heavy plate from the head stock to the chassis ?
In all honesty, it could be made out of lighter tubing, but understandably, Kevin has looked to safety.
I am sure if Kevin built another trike, he would have modifications in mind.
It's a nice exciting home build, and deserves the praise it is collecting.
How much would it cost to build one of these? With like a Hyabusa engine?
@@hacktical521 5K that's good I wanna make a 2 seatter too. But yeah mostly build all the parts like the frame an junkyard parts
How did you do the gearchange lever
It should be in the video, but I just used rods with threaded connectors on the end to tighten and remove lash. I believe it was about four or five feet of just linkage with a fulcrum in the middle to change the direction. So it's nothing too fancy, just using a hand lever to operate the original shift lever on the bike transmission
What are you asking for this ?Where are you located ?
James Webe
@Harry Hov then build one you donut
chất quá anh trai
I have a Wrecked 06 VFR and am very interested by this
Kevin Pitts the sound is great for sure. I bet the generous torque is appreciated with the extra weight. If I decide to go this route I'd love to pick your brain man. Thanks for the idea
If i got the bike to do it how much would u charge to make me one?
Wish could get this brought to my county. How much is it?
2:35 previous f1 racer?
I’m looking for specs on how to build this
Sorry, no plans are available. But there are a lot of good resources at "Reverse Trike Owners and Builders" Facebook page!
may i have the chassis geometry pls??
chassis materials, thickness, length, width, total wight, etc and what is better for strength. thank you
How did you crank it? Any reverse?
Kevin Pitts, what is the ground clearance? Weight carrying capacity? How far back the seat goes back? Can you duplicate build (schematics, parts list, plans)? If so, how soon can you make another? What was your skin idea?
Can or would you build more or just sell the blueprints
I can't anymore because I don't have the shop or space. And I can't sell blueprints. But if I could do it again, I would do it differently. There's plans out there for good starting points, but when we built this, it was of the first of it's kind to be on the road. Now there's a Slingshot as often as a Corvette where I live.
My uncle owns it right now he just bought it back yesterday in bad condition
MY FARTS SOUND MEAN NOT THAT WRECK. LOL
U have the blueprint?, by far nice design, need assistance on building mine
You dont need a blueprint just look at it. Simple design
I have multiple questions. I’m building one and need advise
What’s ur Facebook
Oh I’m apart of that group.lol fame aye
I like it.. I would have left the single side swing arm.. wider rear tire..put the radiator in the back with electric fan
Kevin Pitts I think it s bad ass!!
shit like this is why i wanna learn to fab/weld. i'm scared to death of being on a motorcycle but something like this? i bet is fun and having a cage seems safer
It was a lot of fun, and I got many, many requests for me to build more for others. There are plans out there to make it easier to build so you don't have to start from scratch like I did. You can look up "Reverse trike owners and builders" on Facebook for a good group that are helpful and have done it. Lots of people want to criticize but have never truly built something themselves.
can you make a 3 wheel scooter with motor a back
@@hacktical521 .. In the end it is all about the shop. I kick myself for not building one of these when i could have, I had a GSXR that had neck damage from the last owner pulling wheeles every day and a huge shop with multiple welders and thousands of square feet of space. there was even a pile of steel pipe in one corner. I feel for you that you lost your shop, I know. I was thankful for the detailed descriptions of how you did the build.

How can i build similer one
@@hacktical521 ok that can be done, dut the design or the dimention it is hard to do
Does it has reverse gear?
No it does not. But it does have neutral and I can push it pretty easy.
hola
I also want to assemble this car to me.
Two thousand, eight hundred cc? WOW!
It's YUGE!
How much did this project cost? What is the mpg?
Wooo👍🔔🔔🔔👍💖💜
Mntap
Whatever happened to the normal trike.
This one probably gives you 5mi to the gallon... with all the weight he's added to it 🙄
2.800 cc V4 engine?
A bike like this was never offered, only VFR 750, 800 and 1200 cc.
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_VF_and_VFR
I've never understood why builders of Bike-based Reverse Trikes revert back to the (vastly inferior) car controls system, instead of staying with the far superior Bike controls . . . ?
I don't follow. Reverting back to car controls? I just went with what was most efficient to do the job
@@hacktical521
I wasn't criticising, I love your work, but I think you're missing a trick, as are other builders.
What I meant was, if I was building one, I'd keep the Bike Controls.
Throttle on the Steering (I'd have a Yoke, or Bars, full-lock to full-lock in approx 240°), probably a Thumb Throttle.
Left Foot Gearchange.
Right Foot Brake (to all three Discs).
Left Hand Clutch, with Quickshifter.
Clutchless Down-Changes are easy and smooth with a Bike Gearbox, so there'd be no need to touch the clutch once you'd pulled away from a stop.
Voila! Perfect control at all times without having to move you Feet or Hands, and you can cover the Brakes at all times, no matter what, so much safer, just like on a Bike.
@@Docv400 okay, I understand now. I really did not follow before. That's an interesting idea, but I feel like you would need some considerable steering assist to stop a potential "tank slapping" since you would have a lot more weight you are pushing against with the same arms that are controlling throttle. I'm sure somebody has done it outside of a leaning trike. I built this one at a shop where I had ample spare parts from cars so that's what I used to keep costs down. If you end up building one the way you described, let me know how it goes!
@@hacktical521
'Direct' Steering can work on a Reverse Trike (it's obviously normal on a 'conventional' Trike, as are Bike Control layouts), but I guess Bike Controls wouldn't be compatible with many Drivers, particularly if they've never ridden a Bike.
I've got a few builds in my Head, been planning for years, and now I'm retired, I should hopefully be able to get started on something!
how is this
may i have chases geometry plz
We need to talk(in a scorned wife's voice)....pun intended.
esta de lujo, le faltarían unas cachas, una carroceria.
👍👍👍👍👍👍🇮🇩👍
you talk funny
