If the weight ratio F/R is 55/45 this is acceptable. Wheel base is typically twice front track width. Take into consideration cold starting a diesel engine in our region. A circulating block heater is what they use on the snow plow trucks. The only issue I have with the XR3 is the use of fiberglass interior panels. ABS or aluminum honeycomb is friendlier in a crash. A trike frame from 1 inch square tubing could be done at a shop in a few days. The electrical harness might take a bit longer depending on experience. Foam and fiberglass are the most labor intensive aspects. I would love to build a trike using the paper model skin for the Mercedes Benz C-111 and add the long Mk III tail.
