Getting a little nervous. Still waiting on parts ordered to come in and still haven't begun paint. Busy life, 8 daughters, work and loosing focus with the western flyer, can consume a lot of time. Hopefully I can have it painted this weekend for finally assembly next week.

Ok got all the rest of my ordered parts in (pedals, 160mm cranks and spindle), rest I can pick up locally. So me and my daughters started sanding and priming today, actuallly even got the first coat on.

BUILD ON!
TICK TOCK!

Good to see it still going, love the colour, also cool to see some newer, higher end parts like your cranks sneaking into some builds...

Got paint done, went blue, then dusted it with hammered finish pewter, then started on some assembling. Here are some pics, really can't make out the over spray in the shadow of the carport, will get some better ones in the sunlight later.

Nice work on the silver/pewter metallic effect!

Nice Trike!

Ok got some headway made. Got engine mounted, fenders mounted, throttle installed, cables and wiring all routed through the frame.

 

[jdloniak]

Getting close, exhaust installed, new chains installed, gas tank mounted and hooked up, cables for throttle and clutch connected, engine chain installed. Now to drill the axle for the engine sprocket and fix it in place, front fender, seat and basket and she will be done. I did get to take it on it's first pedal ride around the block. Rides like a caddy. So if all goes good tomorrow evening it should be completed and in the finished thread.

No doubt about it, that is coming along freakin nice!!! The mags are a nice addition to everything else going on here. Very cool!

 

[jdloniak]

Finally it's done. Brought it to work today and ........ well pretty much played with it all day and finished it. Rides great, runs great and has crazy torque.

 

[white_cross]

Nice, everything flows really well on your build!

I actually have a trailer for it, gonna paint to match the bike and convert it to a BBQ pit, have a blue cooler that fits the basket and ordering a 400w bluetooth stereo powered by a Optima Gel Cell. Then I will sell it as the ultimate tailgating rig.

Soo cool! What size engine did you use. I must have missed it during the posts.

 

[jdloniak]

I used the 66cc engine
