I got out to the shop this weekend and was able to work on the bike frame.

I worked on the back section of the frame, replacing part of it with new angle iron so I can move the axle and it needed to be stronger for other changes that are coming. Just tacked onto place for now.

Sorry the video ends while I was talking, I ran out of space on my phone. I should have another update next weekend.

That's sexy!
 
I will be out at the shop on Saturday and maybe Sunday this week to finish up my welds and get the rear axle cleaned and mounted. I ordered some 1" bearings so I can make the drop axle assemblys so this thing can sit low to the ground. I will try to do a mockup before the weekend to share with everyone.
 
Well I am going to try my best to make some big progress this weekend!!! My gears and and bearing plates came in the mail today ... Here is a mockup of what I am trying to do. The dimensions are not exact, it's a working concept ... Let me know what you think

Where did you get the bearing plates, and



Holy rusted metal batman,6 horse. That's what something like 195cc?

I got them on eBay from a seller called shorenutz good prices, I don't know the cc yet just kind of stumbled on it haven't had time to check it out too much
 
I got the first drop axle assembly done and clamped to the trike to make sure everything lines up, and cut out all the parts for the second one. I also machined the hubs to hold the back wheels. I am planning to work on it some this weekend.
