The victim

Here it is the victim.  A 1987 goldwing that is half converted to a trike.  I bought it for $750 and have already made most of that back by selling off the parts I don't want.  I do have to say that I am really not a fan of trikes (I greatly prefer reverse trikes or a even number of wheels) but the extra wheel will help cope with the 200V battery pack and a 9" motor.  Also the goldwing frame is almost perfect fit for my batteries and the swing arm may allow for a slick motor mounting.  I am thinking about naming the bike a leadwing which is appropriate for obvious reason but also what i am doing to this bike can be thought of as a form a reverse alchemy. :)
