Re: Schwindian Pontiac style tail lights

Truck situation resolved! And no I didn't cover it with gas and set it on fire. I wanted to but, I didn't. So now I may have some time to work on the bike. Still have a way to go (seat & struts, finish suspension, chain tensioners, wiring & power supply, and some more TOP SECRET doo-dads and whatchamacallitz, maybe a wing-ding or two as well) thanks for all the compliments and patience, I will GET TA BUILDIN' now.

Re: Schwindian Ok. Last update until 5/18

Twin Chain drive. and a three speed as well. No brakes, but that's what converse are for right?

how did you get the sprocket's on both sides , do both function , did you have to tack one ? this looks sick

The drive on the left is a free spinning setup. It doesnt drive anything but it balances out the bike. I like things symmetrical.

OK Folks! I let it soak in it all night and did not work, although it did make my hands red! I will be picking up some translucent red paint for them. Shoulda did that in the first place. But hey, it was an experiment.

Re: Schwindian (Finally, A GOOD use for an X Box!)

Doing some lighting experiments.

The interior parts of an X Box and some electrical thing with 50 LEDs

The X Box part I used

Cut it to fit inside headlight globes

Wired up 6 LEDs in Series/parallel

All lit up.

Still may try some other things, it looks cool but not old school enough for me. But I have LEDs I dont have any regular bulbs. So I use what I got, all of it was FREE!

Re: Schwindian (Finally, A GOOD use for an X Box!)

DD, When I was at the auto parts store, I some some of this paint there.

Nice use of electronic case screening.

Re: Schwindian (Finally, A GOOD use for an X Box!)

I saw this one in person today. 8) This trike reeks of awesomeness (sp)! Judd has a garage full of really cool stuff, some of which may end up on this build, & an imagination that won't quit! Keep up the good work buddy! :mrgreen:

Re: Schwindian Fenders! Light perches! Bar change?

Fenders on, Thanks Pick! New tail light perches too.

May go with some low bars like this, keep the whole bike below knee level.

Still throwin stuff at it to see what sticks. 8)
