Well here's my entry for the build off. Started the build June 9. Just ran across this site yesterday and registered. I know there is only 3 weeks left, but I am pretty sure I can complete it by then. Started out with a Worksman Trike I bought from a guy I met at the local gas station. Seen it on the trailer with a bunch of other junk, thought he was scrapping it. Turns out he wasn't, but a few minutes of talking and it was mine for $50. Brought it home and let my daughters have fun riding it (got 8 daughters) Decided I wanted to trick it out, nothing particular, main goal was to motorized it and have it look tastefully done, not a hack job. Then from there it just has been one mod after another. Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I do building it.

So this is where I stand with it so far. Still have to get tribal design cut panels made to go in the lower frame, and weld in mounting tabs. Debating on putting a backbone on it, let me know your thoughts.

Well, that is looking sweet! I have not seen one of these with the whole mag angle.

I actually started polishing the original wheels, but then opted to do the mags. They are Skyways. Ended up having to turn the axle down to fit them. Now I have to make up an adapter to get the drive wheel operational. But thats no biggie. Anyway I am pleased with the transformation the wheels made.
 
nice dude :rockout:
 
this is so cool, nice work
 
Very cool, I have seen a few bikes turn out really cool doing the cream color or dark brick red. Seeing it everyday I am sure you have a direction in mind.
 
Actually has the pedal back brakes, which work very good. But I am hoping to do a front disc brake as a added bonus.
