I like that idea le'o. Of course, if we incorporated it into a 'ride video' of our completed builds, then we would 'kill two birds with one stone'. Good luck getting everyone on board with that idea!
Maybe just a photo with us and our build, kind of like we did for the BO #13 t-shirt photos that just sort of spontaneously erupted when a couple people took photos of their new shirts.
It’s not small, it’s ‘efficient’, ‘compact’, ‘sporty’... hahahahaha!
Now that I see the scale with you on it, I like it even more!
Cheers buddy!

Go Shox!We went to a couple of hardware stores to find the “Clean Shower” product we’d been using on our shower. It’s out of stock most places locally, eBay and Amazon are price gouging. Found a few bottles so we’re now hoarders. Picked up some Drive-through lunch and had short picnic at a park with small lake.
Pre layback seat post...to be continued.
Do I make this Trike-Tor look small or does it make me look big?
Jeez, I've got a lot of catching up to do on your build thread here! Trike-Tor is looking awesome!

Trike-Tor “Sport”, hey thanks Dr T!
Great light work. The wheelie pic was awesome, but nowhere near as cool as seeing you with the bike. Love the way this build looks!!!
Geez, after all that work, I kinda hate to say you didn't have to make it a trike...

Looking awesome I too thought it would look a little bigger but maybe just because I was thinking the hood was bigger

I rolled out Trike-Tor Sport this morning to change out the running light bulbs.
They fit fine flipped on the switch nothing happened. Aww...polarity, so I reversed the feed. One lit up white one lit up red. Can’t win for losing.
I ordered two white, packages correct, invoice is correct. Called company, CSR said they’d send a prepaid label to send the red back and they’d send out a white. Meanwhile I wait again. Everything seems to be an upside down ordeal these days, still waiting on great to happen.
With amber covers...they need to match!

Let's hope the replacement is the right item.

Rather ironic the packages are specific with identification. The bulbs have no marking on them to indicate what they are so I guess you don’t know till you apply current. Package says Made in China. Yes the replacement now may not match the current white one.
I ordered some 6v LED 1156 style bulbs a couple years ago for a project and received 1157 style with the two contacts on the bottom for brake and turn signal lights. Package had the right number. Emailed the vendor with photos and he sent the right ones out ASAP. Didn't want the mismarked ones back either.

At least it’s their dime, they provided a prepaid shipping label. Now someone there has to process the return and send out the replacement. Would be cheaper to just send out the replacement. Their return policy says no returns on LED products in opened packages. At this point my trust is with the lady I talked to on the phone. Anyway I packed it back up and dropped it off at Post Office which was on my dime.

You mean the light bulb, right?
Yep, imagine trying to find replacement parts for this vehicle at your local parts store(s). Make, model, year, engine, transmission, etc...uhm, you might try the salvage company down the street?
Seatpost is suppose to show up today.

The layback 13/16”x7/8” seatpost came in the mail today. The seat tube is butted or counterbored down 8” or so. I cut 3” off the bottom to adjust a decent seat height. I may take another inch off. I’ll get out for a test ride tomorrow.
With the addition of the correct bulb, seat adjustment, hood graphics about done I’ll be able to put this on the back burner.
