Here's my Trike build
- Thread starter zoood
- Start date
handles really good. Even steering with one hand. Tho grooved pavement will bring on a possible bowel movement, if your not paying attention. With no hands. It stays straight. Turns take a little gettin use to. But my speed in turns is better now. I had another follow me through turns and all. The suspension kept the wheels to the ground. Even in a tight turn that you would normally lean into. The wheels made no contact with the body's fenders.
I'll be tearing the front end apart soon. I need to add my new handlebars and cables. Im also going with progressive springs and changing out the fork tubes with 2 inch over stock. Im also adding fender skirts. I like my rides to be different. This winter I'll be painting the rest of it to match the original paint, with pin stripe. Im also adding a couple murals. The mural paint scheme will be " Where Eagles Gather"
Here's an example of my airbrush work. I'm no beginner at this.

Excellent!!! Glad to hear your hard work has paid dividends of a good ride, as well as good looks. I can't remember from your early posts...did you put the EZ-steer kit in the front or not?
That's some awesome airbrush work. I'm envious. Only thing I can draw is flies...and I gotta quit bathing regular to do that!!
I'll look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thank you,... sorry I havent posted for a while. Been very busy doing my manufacturing thing. I just got a new body shipped here. The body is the exact replica of the body I used on the trike. Im shortening the rolling (trailer) chassis I have here that the trike body originated from and the new body fits on the trailer chassis, perfectly. That's right. I'll be pulling a matching trailer! I had managed to obtain another set of 1937 ford tail lights. Eventually. Ill get hold of another ford bumper that I will be cutting down in size and welding back together to attach on the trailer. Just as I did with the trike. So, needless to say,... the build continues.

Well, Im back and the fall is here. I'll soon start adding to my build link again.
I did find out however. That the body I chose for my trike build was actually made by a company that originally made 2 molds, male and female of HD's original servi-car body. With which they made fiber-glass replicas.
I added a Garmon Zumo GPS. Paid for it's self the first trip I did with it.
Bike wouldnt start right off after shutting her down for refueling. The volt meter showed 9.5 volts. I searched on the Zumo for nearest HD dealership. One was 3.1 miles from where I was. I would have never known that, not that quick anyways. The bike did start again and I arrived at the dealership with 8.5 volts showing. Phew,... down time 2 hrs while they replaced my voltage regulator!
