Show me your shifters, whether they be functional or just fake/decorative. The more inventive the better.

I would keep the step-thru frame. It's an awesome bike, no need to mess with such a nice patina.

What I have so far on the electrics diagram.

Electrics...as I have them worked out so far.

Cool. Will probably go with one of them then. Using a project box right now to make a control panel for all of my bike's electronics. Decided on a 3V system and I'm going to have a main switch that turns the system on, a horn button, a status LED showing the system has power and an audio input...

nvm, just found them on ebay by searching for "bicycle tank horn", the cheapest ones are $18 though, ouch. I need a 3V horn closer to the $5 range.

where do I find something like that? I've searched all over the internet for 3 volt horns to no avail. Any source would be appreciated. Thanks.

Started working on the electronics control box for the bike. Now if I could just find a horn that operated on really low voltage (3v-6v).

Okay guys, for my custom Schwinn Meridian trike I'm piecing together and electrical system. Honestly I'd like to go with a simple 3V system since most of it (which consists of LED lights) will run straight off of that without having to use resistors or diodes to bring the power down. On top of...

thinking about putting mine back on to mount brake/turn lights into the reflector housing (mine has reflectors on the fenders) but not sure if I want to deal with them again, lol.

Okay guys, it's been like a year but I've got some updates. The box and grips have long since been stained red oak and I'm about to do a few other things: - Electrical system, 6V. Will power turn signals, brake lights, horn & head lamp. Will try to hide most of it and do it as plain looking as...

I want to see what you've done to your trike. Mine currently has a wine crate as a rear basket but I'm looking for ideas.

Got the box done in Red Oak stain, going to try to get it back on the bike soon and take some more photos.

Thanks. Wait until I've got all of the other stuff on it ;)
