Man thats cool, Do you still know your name after workin with all that fiber glass? :mrgreen:
Well lucky for me it's not my bike. It's my friend's trike. I have no hands on skills. He has pretty much done everything from my 79 Buick Lesabre with hydraulics to his 71 chopped top Monte Carlo on airbags..

can you explain how the suicide shifter works?
It's basically a 3 speed shifter that the handle was replaced with the custom one. The cover was left off so it looks more like its one piece..

Wow! That thing deserves some better photos. Take some outside. :D

So how is the sound part of it set up and powered?
It's funny you say that. The story behind the trike is that it is on a 3 floor walk up apartment. My friend Louie said Once he brings it down it is staying downstairs (in a garage of course) So he is waiting for the weather to get better.. It is still cool to cold in New York.. The Day he takes it out we are riding to Coney Island So I will have outside pics..
Power to the sound system and rear lites are from a motorcycle battery which is mounted in the rear enclosure. He has the charging points on the license plate frame, so kno need to remove the battery
