Victory engine would be better

Neighbour was talking to one of the Morgan lot on a plane. They wanted a HD for the new 3 wheeler. Rubbish he said, get a Victory. Not sure what happened.

yup ive got a few pieces sorted got a front subframe and lower arms need to find a set of hubs and upper arms, incidentally i gave a set of them away a few months back, sods law

Just sketching out a few ideas, cant decide whether to use box section for the main frame or tube. Ive got a local rollcage guy who can mandrel bend tubing to spec but i think the only difference will be a small amount of weight and it will look a bit better. Il make that decision at a later date. Ive pretty much gutted the rear end anyway and cutting should be under way soon
