I'm interested in your Diablo trike. Any chance you'll release the plans for it?

Oh man! I never finished building the Diablo. I got through building most of the trike and when I realized I needed a carbon fiber sway bar. After pouring gobs
of money into it, I had to make the painful decision to terminate the program. Don't get me wrong the product would have met all my product requirements
except for cost. I would have had to sell the trike at almost 6K to make any money. Just to give you a hint, 90% of all trikes sold are under $2,500. Even as
an established company and product I don't think I would ever be able to sell more than six a year. Perhaps I'll complete one for myself and sell the
plans. It would be like building an airplane, you know one of those projects that takes 3 years to complete because it so dang expensive and time consuming.

"I realized I needed a carbon fiber sway bar." Wow, sounds like Diablo was going to be a precision machine. I'm looking forward to seeing you
build one. Thanks for the reply.
