My First Trike -- FINALLY FINISHED --

[photoaggie]

very cool ride...

Thanks guys! I'm kinda thinking about putting rear fenders on it,
Something chrome to match the front.

 

[nosferatum15115]

yea it will be nice to go full fenders, that front fender is quite interupting the lines of the bike...very cool and clean bike indeed

 

[Half Link]

Very well done!! 8)

That trike is awesome, but finished? Sorry pal, you've got the wrench bug. :lol: You're already thinking about fenders, no doubt looking at tires, if it's ever really "finished" it probably just means you've started another project, or found some really good trails for your mtb. :mrgreen:

 

[WildCard]

I thought about bigger tires in the back, but I've decided that I
like the way the stock ones look. With the exception of fenders,
I really do think that it's finished. Of course, I haven't started the
matching trailer yet :wink:

 

[ballroomwrecker]

cool bike, not sure about the black & white..

 

[WildCard]

I thought about a different color, but I already had the black and white.
Maybe a real bright green this winter

I have too many other projects, I just wanted to get this one finished so
that I could get back to some of the others.

I like it, I'd love it 'fatter' with a set of OCC rear wheels and tires and a 24 x 3 tire on the front.
One question, is the backrest a second seat? How does it feel on your back?

Cheers!

i think it needs a truely custom chopper seat. :wink:

 

[prosparky]

Lookin' good !!
What materials did you use to make the front end?
From the pics, it looks like 1/4" plate for the triple trees. What kind of tubing for the legs? Did you weld the legs to the trees?
I just got a similar trike (Atlas brand). I'm not going too radical, but I would like to build a non-springer front end, with triple trees like you did.
Thanks.

Of course instead of adding rear fenders you could just remove the front one! :shock:
It looks really great though!

Yes the back rest is a second seat.
It's actually very comfortable.

Every thing that I used was just stuff that I had laying around the garage.
Except fot the springs, which I purchased from Home Depot. If you want,
I can messure anything. Just let me know which peices.

Very Nice. It's a beaut.

 

[cobrafreak]

I love the fork you did. This is a REAL chopper!
