The StreetFighter has elements of the DeltaWolf and the StreetFox. My idea is taking the rear suspension of the StreetFox and use it for the rear end of the StreetFighter; making a LWB tadpole trike. Why? Just because is the only answer I have. The only details I am in doubt of are the track width and the caster angle of the front wheels. The StreetFighter has a track width of 26.5 inches and a caster of 80 degrees but the StreetFox has a track width of 30 inches and a caster of 75 degrees. Anybody got any feeling which set of measurements might work best?

Yes. I built one of those a couple of years ago, but apparently made it too long. There was a lot of frame twist, which bent the shock mounts. That could also be because of my weight and having to sit kind of crooked due to disabilities, because the same thing happened when I went back to a SWB tadpole that became a Streetfox.
Stick with the Fighter track width, and whatever angles Brad has in the Fighter plan. The caster angle is a lot less than on the Fox.
I'm currently making changes back to a LWB tadpole, but this time it's much shorter, mainly due to eliminating the suspension. This one will have a hub motor. I'm starting to build a tailbox now, to cover up the batteries and electrical parts.
Here's a link to what I have so far:
