Jim, I'm glad to see you're still crafting your trike.
Scot, as they have mentioned, the ATV front end is a no-go. Even some dune buggy parts would be illegal, as they are not DOT-approved, and even say "For Off-Road Use Only" often. Using a scooter might not be the best concept...
Step up to a Ninja 250 or similar, use a real vehicle suspension up front. It would be easier to get legalized, be much safer, and you wouldn't put all the work into it and then realize you cannot go over 25mph. Google for "Reverse trike" or "2F1R" (meaning, 2 Front, 1 Rear tire), and go over all the images. Many are built for performance and wasting tires, but you will eventually be forming your own design. Good luck, keep us posted on what you figure out or any questions you have.
