You are welcome.

I have had sidecars and they have different handling but are not inferior in performance.

They don't need to be fancy: a light frame with a platform for carrying boxes and other loads would stabilize the bike.

Moving on:

A quick Google search returned this Ninja 500 that was modified to become a traditional trike:

IMHO the engine should have enough power for your project, if the weight gain is not brutal.

The MC-95-250 Reverse Trike has a water cooled 250 cc engine that delivers only 13HP (so, the Ninjette's engine should do better):
