But this would happen after the gearbox via a linkage, given the size of the car this is most like after the seats so I would assume it could be either left or right hand drive.
I should add I'm no engineer just a bodger!!!

I thought you being a single-track type would relish a trike without weather protection, you haven't gone soft have you?

[quote=A11OGE]I believe the main market for the 3 wheeler is expected to be the USA, hence HD engine + left hand drive etc. Mind you there has been great interest in the UK.  the output shaft is left hand/ rear of the engine when fitted to a motorcycle, turn the engine through ninety degrees and the drive comes through the right side footwell so control pedals have to be on the left Gents are you sure about this, as the engine is a V the output shaft should be centrally located. See below. This will then connect the the gearbox. If the shaft is offset then the gearbox will also be offset which does not appear to case in the pictures on the MMC site. Am I missing something?   you make no mention of a clutch - though I'm quite open to other explanations -

As I've siad on this site before- more technical info would be nice. Until then, I'm reserving my judgment

As I see it the H-D m/cycle has a chain primary drive[drive from engine to clutch] so engine spins 'forward' [on m/cycles with gear primary engine spins 'backwards'] - so on Mog trike engine will spin anti/clockwise if viewed from drivers seat, therefore prop must connect to wheel on right hand side to propel car forwards, or I am missing something obvious?

I thought you being a single-track type would relish a trike without weather protection, you haven't gone soft have you?  Sold my Triumph last December Richard. No bike in the garage now... Gone soft? Seem to be going that way  However, I'm still thinking about a mid-size trailie for the odd bit of green laning (if I can find any lanes in Gloucestershire now...). Cheers,

I've gone soft - no bike since I sold the KTM Duke, I have the odd twinge if I see a 69 Bonnie but it soon passes
