I have put pics in my archive as the computer is being sick on the size of them.
Maybe some clever wizard will resize them for me

Just download Pixresizer (free) and do them yourself before popping them in your archive and uploading them

That's coming on nicely. What are you doing for bodywork? I'm sure I've asked this before.

Looking interesting! Just one question - what are you going to do for covering over the rear frame? Looks like you could have juts had a roll hoop behind the seat and then lower rear bodywork.

Another question - more general as I am not sure it would apply in your case: if you take the whole main frame of a bike including engine and then add extra framework/body forward of this to make a trike without changing the original frame, does this mean it is technically an "unaltered chassis" and therefore MSVA exempt? Or does the fact that you are changing from 2 to 3 wheels make it MSVA-able?

ETA: just looked at the VOSA website and it says

"...In order to retain the original registration mark:

* motorcycles must use:

Unmodified frame (original or new) and two other major components from the original vehicle; forks, wheels and engine or gear box.

If a second-hand frame is used the vehicle must pass a motorcycle single vehicle approval (MSVA) test after which a 'Q' prefix registration number will be allocated."

So, in the case I described, would a trike count as a "motorcycle" using its original frame and the engine?

Edited again: another section of VOSA refers to "MSVA does apply to "vehicles converted to a different wheelplan"
