A couple of notes.
I know a guy that lost his leg on his Harley when a drunk broadsided him. He now drives a trike. I also know some older guys who say their balance isn't good any more and they drive trikes too. But in my case, should I ever get to the point where I can't handle two wheels for whatever reason, I just think it would be time to hang up the helmet and take the car.
But I still think they look cool, I just don't see them as practical.
If you are building them, maybe modify the rear end so that the wheel's angle float with the bike. That doesn't seem like it would be that difficult. At least that way you could corner more like a motorcycle.
One odd thing about wheelies, it turns out they are totally legal in FL for trikes. The last I looked, the law was written something like "must have at least 2 wheels on the ground" - which means that your trike could do a wheelie legally.
