Some steel mesh that I have would look great on it too. Sort of like the old Tote Gotes. I'm fiddled with the idea of adding a jackshaft, to gear the bike down for climbing hills. That can wait, along with the front suspension and suspension seat. The most important thing is getting it ready to ride. I need it for hunting season.

Sounds like it could end up being quite the rig when it is finished. One thing i have been looking into is rebuilding an old Honda Trike into basically a larger version of a mini bike. Either that or getting an old trike rolling chassis and extend it to be a utility vehicle similar to the old John Deere AMTs (Predecessor to the Gator). Would not be difficult at all to make a spare trike axle into a floating tag axle.
