WTF? A motorcycle trike that's half Pontiac Fiero??
So, I'm in Salmon Arm, BC, Canada, and what do I see?? This guy, bombing up the road, driving a custom motorcycle trike that's using the back half of a rear-engine Pontiac Fiero! I couldn't believe it.
There is a small trunk on the Fieros. Probably stuff a dozen shopping bags in it. But, I like it! Less rake, less industrial strength chassis, more civilized front forks, could be a keeper. Considering the rider, it all fits, so, more power to him! And, speaking of power, I wonder if that's a V6 in there...
Also, in case anyone is wondering, that is a notchback Fiero rear end. They're common chosen for this type of trike because they're cheap, and most of the important bits (the entire powertrain) are in the rear. I wonder where the radiator is, because Fieros have coolant tubes running to the front of the vehicle. It looks like most of the fairing in the front of the Fiero portion is perforated, so I'd guess the radiator is next to or above the engine. There's no room above the engine for a radiator but you might be right on the side-mounts.
@catsfive, I remember in the mid 80s when this car was new and popular. My bother's classmate had oje and she was a beautiful young woman. Cool original chopper...keeping a Pontiac alive.
Ahhah, we're both "old," then—yeah, I remember being told as a kid that this was a revolution. The cars were assembled in a "raised" assembly line, for instance, and the car had plastic, rust-proof body panels, etc. Glad to see the car finally deliver SOMETHING memorable, hahah.
