The Stiletto Reverse Trike

I have built a three wheeler of my own design, and my primary motivation, as opposed to assembling a kit, was that I did not like the apparent crashworthiness of existing designs. I went for a classic kind of look, with skinny tires and wheels - it is a cruiser, not a race car. The engine is a fuel injected Kawasaki 1300 six cylinder, 130 HP, dating from 1983. My challenge was to achieve a reasonably pleasing design with no compound curves, as I am not smart enough to use an English wheel! Any comments on the aesthetics?

Being newly registered, I am not allowed to attach an image. Makes it hard to share ideas, doesn't it? If you go to youtube and search for The Stiletto Project you can see a video.

My current project is installing a turbo and multiport injection on a 1996 Geo Metro three cylinder. If anyone on this forum has done this, I could use some good advice.
