The LEAST you could do is put a trunk that doesn't look like it came off a clown bike on it! Front end looks good, and you have a LOT better bike than the Can-am, IMHO.

Good catch on the trunk. IMO, if a large color matched tail trunk was installed, trike would have a more uniform 'finished' look

Yeah, imagine hitting bumps on an off-camber turn at even normal speed with that front end. It'll bump steer you into the next ZIP Code, IMO.Howard
