I have been working on this for about 8 or so years.........I hope to have it finished by Spring...........
It has a complete Goldwing except the front fork and wheel mounted in the rear (GL 1100)...Electric Reverse.....Side by side seating...Auto Alternator.and Air Conditioning....Air operated Doors..etc ....etc...

Is that an old Tri-Magnum? I don't think I ever saw one Wing powered before. What color are you going with?

And to answer some questions...............It is designed from plans called "Vortex"...however I have added my own twist..........The body is of "Monocoque" construction using Marine grade 1/2" plywood...steel...Urethane Foam...and Fiberglass matt and cloth.......
The color will probably be a High Metallic Silver base coat with Clear top coat........The interior will be Gray Tweed with a Purple Scorpion Embroidered in each Headrest.....
The Gear Shift will be a choice of "Manual" and /or Electric Solonoid..both up shift and down shift............Doors and Rear section will be opened and closed with Air assisted "Bimba" cylinders...with on board Air Compressor.......Remote Push Button operation as well as a Manual Overide..(in case of Electrical Mal-Function.).......The Frontal area over the Headlights will "Drop and Lock by" way of an Electric Solonoid....
Air Condition and Electric Reverse.........
The reason for the Goldwing Power Train........."Pure reliability and Power"
