I’ve had kz’s in the past but recently ended up with one in a trade, I’m on the downhill slide of a reverse trike build, it will have a power steering unit from a Hyundai, I am also going to put a 180 series tire on the rear, eventually it will have 180’s on all 3

That's pretty wild. Why go to 180 tires? Seems like the steering would be lighter with narrower tires, and less unstrung weight seems like a good idea.

I have no real reason for the 180 tires except I think it would look much better, I have an electric power steering unit from a Hyundai, that should take care of it, I have yet to take it out of the garage, it’s just now to the point that I can test it, I am putting electronic ignition on it, I went cheap and that bit me in the ass, I ordered a dyna s yesterday so I’m waiting

That is an interesting looking machine! Is that a prefab front end or one of you own design. I kind of like the smaller front wheels but what do I know? I would like to watch, from a far so to speak, just what you do with this project.
