Here a some profile shots of the Trike.  Got the ole girl on her own feet today.

Some American Wire Wheel wheels with some Metz rubber and it was off to the races.

First off is 80 Spokes in front.



With some Custom one of's 70 Spokes in the rear.



And they give this LONG LOW and LEAN beast a killer profile.



I was VERY surprised how low it came out.  Anyway an oblique shot so ya can see the spread on the rear end.



And a front and rear shot.





I will mount a starter Motor or something behind the second seat post to facilitate an electric revers.  I am also thinking that I will build the oil bag so that we have some good volume.

comments???

Oh and the battery box and lectics are probably goin on the second seat posts rear motor mount.  Should fill that space in right nice.  Also going to build true duals and put the old can and fish style mufflers on it.  A bro showed me how to get those ole style fishies to sound off and breath and yet keep the kewllei oh look of the rivets through the ends.

Pretty sharp fenders are made nowdays, strong too.


    Why buy it for $36.00 when I can make it for $278.00.

I see you're using motorcycle wheels and tires on the back, that's good.  Be careful of using tires  that are too sticky.  An old friend who rode a lot of trikes told me you have to be able to break the rear end loose and slide it if it's to handle properly, those car tires you see on so many trikes won't do.  My friend had a 45 trike with a 45 magnum engine and a K model fork with the stock rear wheels.  I've seen him cutting cookies in the middle of the street with it, rear end sliding and going round and round, it was cool.  This one ought to look pretty good and with that big twin engine it ought to go real well.

Skooter,

Got her back from the exhaust guys and now we are working on getting the floorboards and reverse in.  Once I get the starter for the reverse and get it fabricated it will go together again.  I was a plannen on some photo update then.
