New member, going to try it for his trike!

Hello everyone, I am building 2 vehicles, one is a crx 1991 we are converting to a 2f1r trike, I have been looking for an aerodynamic nose with lots of downforce, this should do the trick, Ill let you know how it works.

The other vehicle is a scratch built machine (2f1r trike) with the engine / trans from a vw rabbit diesel 1984, suspension from a jetta and a custom frame and body. (any guesses on the mpg were going to be looking at?)

make a mount with 2 casters 1" lower to hit first
