After asking around I came up with a kawasaki GT750 engine ,electrics,and shaft for a reasonable sum of the green folding stuff.
The engine mounts where changed and a new exhaust system was arranged.
The conversion took the next year to complete a little longer than anticipated but I have patience(It's a bit twisted now)and I won't bore you with the details.

Another eventful week as the propshaft decided that it didn't want to continue being abused and at 80mph on the motorway sheared.
Results are dirty underwear (Big bang and small dent in one of the frame braces)3 HRS off the road.
Big thanx to Martin at Trikeworks for dropping everything and making me a new prop.
The following week the battery boiled and I had to bumpstart the Bastard.

Well here's the latest update.
Due to a blind woman, Twisted Patience is off the road again.
Whilst it was parked in a brightly lit street in November a woman reversed her car into the trike,as usual,when asked what she thought she was doing she replied "I didn't see it" I asked her why she didn't see two headlamps in her rearview mirror the answer was "I didn't look in the mirror".
This woman reversed over 5 meters hit the trike but instead of stopping, reversed up the front wheel,I witnessed the RTA from across the road.
The results are yet to be confirmed but riding home I noticed that the front not only wobbled violently but bobbed up and down,further investgation revealed that the frame now has more of a twist and is now unuseable.
