I'm thinking that I'll rigid mount the rear tire, so that I don't have to deal with a swingarm and suspension... this one doesn't need to be convertible from a bike to a trike, so that's less weight that needs to be there as frame sections. Hard mounting the rear wheel makes it easier to build a frame around the driveline without trying to build into the mono-tube frame that's already there, and leave the mono-tube frame and related parts intact for use on my TwinStar, should the need arise.

Man, I'm hoping this project gets off the ground once the TwinStar is running (Which should be fairly soon, actually. It only really needs a battery at this point, and to finish the handle bars and seat pan.)
