Woah, I wasn't either riders, so why do I need "adjusting". I was just relating how a moderate weight change could make a large impact on the economy of the little 250.
My mistake was I thought I read he wanted to go 60 mph with two people on board..
I designed two reverse trikes in college back in the 80's, one a roadracing cycle car, the other a three wheeled automobile.
I've been both a motorcycle and car mechanic, so I know what wheels, tires, brakes and suspension parts weigh.
Unless he's not worried about meeting State and Federal safety regulations, its going be several times heavier than the complete original bike.
As several suggested, I looked at the CalCom. It was very interesting, but If you tried to build something like that today, it would be impossible to get registered with the state for use on the road.
