Hello, I'm new... thanks for having me, great to be here...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this type of thing, but I haven't found anything even close elsewhere.

Basically, I'm trying to find a working motorcycle rear-end for a project I've been thinking up. instead of describing it, here's a link.
www.go-t-rex.com

Basically, I'm looking to build a replacement to my car. Motorcycle seems a good fit, but I need more cargo space and protection from the elements. Nothing a trailer and a good leather jacket can't fix,I know... but I just prefer to go this route.

I was thinking of mating the rear end of the bike with the front end of an off-road go-kart. Replace the knobby wheels with something more suited for the road, and enclose it with fiberglass over foam to get some aerodynamics. Some lights and signals later and I'd have my vehicle.

Gross over-simplifications here and there I'm sure, but that's the gist of it. Anyone have any suggestions of places to buy parts/trashed bikes? Any design elements I'm missing?

Thanks,
Jlopez

Good luck with the project!

You might also check out the Spyder (http://spyder.brp.com/) by Can-Am. They have demo rides at the larger events so you could ride one to get more ideas.

Have fun!
