Yeah, I'm finding the sun to be new challenge. My time with sailboats make me consider some of the materials found on boats. Their sails are exposed to the worst conditions and still remain pliable and strong. They even resist icing while remaining waterproof.

I wanted to start with a mid engine frame to negate the wheelie situation. But, here in the southeast US, those types are very rare. The rear engine rail frame is the most prevalent around here while the mid engine types are found in the southwest. This frame also had a VIN which made it easier to tag and title.

Yeah, wheelies! Steering brakes, a bus transaxle, and some kind of home made wheelie bar will eventually be added. Sure, it's unstable. Most folks are still impressed when the front wheels get toted. They don't care if it was caused by torque or gross imbalance. This was built to illuminate the idea. Wheelies will only make it easier to see.
