Something like this coupled to the prop shaft and driven from a starter motor. To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater. Obviously not that one, but you get the idea?

Re: trike build
wel folks ,got the design done and working on the parts,
i have few more questions for ye again, i want to put a 240 frontend but the price of the wheel is alot ,so prob go for a 200 harley wheel or as some of u kind fellas say a tractor wheel, whats the pros and cons of a wider front end for handling and a tyre suiting it ? i will fit 300mm rubber to the back i hear that any wider and its dangerous in the wet ? was goin to use 2 r1 monos for comfort and handling ? and i was going to rake the front end a little more than standard again pros and cons if u can. as towards the drive of the bike it will be 1.6 mtrs wide at the back and hopefully on 19" rims which is better for reliability chain or shaft and can the shaft be offset with a knuckle joint, thats it so far lads the frame frontend all sheetmetal all no probs so far

Re: trike build
A wider front wheel won't make much, if any difference. It's the tyre that's gonna be carrying the weight. You'll probably want a tyre for a tourer or sports tourer to carry the extra weight.
You don't need 300mm on the rear... it's not an F1 cage, and it'll look like one of those German air cooled excuses for a trike if you do fit 300mm tyres. 2 X R1 monos... I don't know what weight the springs are on them, but you'll need to know this to work out where the mounting points need to be in relation to the pivot points, and calculate if you have enough travel. If you rake the front end more, you're gonna need longer stanchions. Are you going to be using a solid axle or an independent double wishbone setup? (the diff is already offset a little in a solid axle) Either way... draw a scale sketch of the trike with the engine in place and measure the angle from the output shaft to your diff. The degree of angle will dictate whether you can use a universal joint or if it will have to be a constant velocity joint.

Re: trike build
Check the rotation of the propshaft matches the diff, i know of a lad who spent ages welding up a hardtail xs1100 trike,
looked the job alright but he had 5 reverse gears, had to take off the axle and flip it over To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.

Re: trike build
Something you should take into account... The wider your rear tyres are, the more scrub you're going to have and the worse your turning circle and track will be.
I wouldn't use anything more than a 205 on the rear, and even that would be the maximum I'd consider.
