This reply is going to be for all three of you "Trike Builders" what an awesome job you guys have done (I know you are not quite done). Three distinct different builds. What more can a reader ask for. I took the time this morning to read all posts in all three types of build and again I have to say AWESOME :clapper::clapper::clapper:
You all deserve the grandest hand of applause for work well done. You all about ready to do the final touches and from all of you now, please don't let this end here. After you get out and ride them, please return and give a final analysis of your projects.
Again, to the jobs well done and posted so well - congrats.
the lower you get your rear end the better it will steer. i lowered my 1200 homebuild and it steers really easy. it will rake the front some. want need and easy steer on mine.
Looking good.
To much of that white stuff up there for me.
Really want to see how you mount the hand brake, good details.
Going to need one for mine.
That's a small garage to be doing that work
Looks like an ice box with all that snow outside.
Now the trikes bodies on,the garage seems to have shrunk
If its dry:?tomorrow will push it out and do the body outside.
The swingarm/footboards on the trike move with the axle,hoping to mount a plate off the bolts to mount handbrake.A friend was breaking his sabaru impreza that he,d rolled he gave me handbrake & fittings,its small so should fit good.Will take some pictures
Hi Bob with cost of importing kit,shipping cost etc,its all down to money,i m on a absolute tight budget.Unable to ride as bike,due to illness& had it since last june unused,still got expense of wheels,paint etc.Slowed down and not a heavy braker so will see how we go
Very cold and damp in garage today,my disability problems really kicked in today and my friend helping with the build kept it going today,body and boots fitted will post pictures shortly.
Proggresive 416 shocks pumped up andholding air.
But hit a problem engine turns over fine with smell of fuel,kill switch on run position.
Taking trike off main stand onto axle, leant alot towards rear,today taking on and off axle stands leant alot left and right.Not checked plugs for spark yet but thinking may have triggered lean sensor:?
Wow Sprayman looking sharp. The rear sub frame looks quite massive, is it angled or square tubing? What rear shocks are you using? It really looks solid.
the square tubing on the frame is 1and a half the shock are 416 progresive air the frame is part of the kit from tri wing have not had to much time to work on it to bussy at the shop have most every thing fited body wise made stainless steel fender extenxsion for the front of the body will post pics when a get a chance
Hi Srayman notice you,ve attached shock brackets low to axle,i ve done similar to lower trike at rear for giving extra rake at front.Dont want to give you a expensive surprise but you,ve fitted original shocks off SE.Air shocks got no spring in,Tri wing asrecomended by Darlene aMATCHED pair of shock absorbers i ve gone for proggresive 416 can be linked into on board air compresser
I ve seen from your post skip the amount of work involved from a sorry i did nt see you rear end on fibreglass body hoping to bend it round body but might have to done on a rolling machine.
He Al, you are going to have to be more careful about the way you use that masking tape. I was beginning to think that trike is being built by Chevrolet

you'd better becareful when and if you decide to widen the trunk as it doesn't look like the body shape will allow you to go much wider. the body looks as though it's molded to fit the trunk and if you go wider the body want set down on the trunk correctly. just what it looks like from the pic you have on ship20s post.
