HCH,You owe me!!!!!!! Its freezing out there!!!!!!!![:@] Here are the pics. If you decide to make one. The part where you have the angle and length of the hitch is important. If you dont get the proper setting you will be riding a wheelie the whole way.;) It took me awhile to figure it out. I used Holly to sit in the back and I would ride around to check the handling. Let me know what you think?

That is cool BM38!!! I like it and I can see that this takes some research and trial and errorlike you did by putting your wife in the cart. Thanks for braving the cold Adam. That bike ROCKS!! My new project for this year. What brand is your cart?

Question, is the cart to the bike such a solid setup that it adds stability to the bike?

No the cart floats. When we tried making it tight we had no control of the bike. The weight of the load wanted to dictate the direction the bike went.

Makes sense. I thought it might make it similiar to a three wheeler. I assume it is the rear wheel of the bike that causes the issue. Anyway thanks for taking the time for the pics.

Why not add some space to store "stuff"?

Do any three wheelers offer any gears for climbing hills? Man, the only problem with one of those three wheeled bikes is that they are kind of like a moped and a fat woman....both fun to ....till your friends see you with one.[8D]All puns aside, a three wheeled MT bike with gears might be tippy and dangerous on trails for the same reason ATV manufacturers discontinued them.

Speaking of that, a friend of mine last year,sold a late modeled, expensive, threewheeledriceburner 1400cc motorcycleto a guy that drove 3 hours to come buy it. He bought it with no test drive(thankfully) and he paid my friend and took offfor the nearest town a mile away. Wrecked it at the 1st curve. Tried to lean it instead of steer it. He luckily wasn't hurt(except for his pride) and had to leave the wrecked bike at my friends house and go back to his home and get a trailer to haul the wreck home. My buddy was glad the guy had the integrity to not stop payment on the check or try to get out of the purchase. But then again, 99% of bikers are just like hunters; honest and trustworthy.
