    Good work. In terms of the pinch weld trim with the chrome strip, ive seen guys here obtain it but if you can't you'll notice ive installed plain pinch weld and added a generic 5mm chrome strip below it. Nobody is going to criticise you for going a bit off original. Btw the soft cover LHS , i...

    Yes mate. Started out designing my ultimate trike couple years ago careful not to be too radical. Then searched for a bike. I wanted just a cruiser with chopper style to compliment the curves, good stock rake. Aussie has rules against too much rake and needs to be engineer approved. Also they...

    Trike build with windjammer 4

    Ever since my first trike ive drawn designs that I liked. So it's totally original . I was never drawn to other fairings and being 69yo i recall the windjammer well. One came up for sale, it had been on a vintage bike in a museum in Brisbane Australia for 40 years, perfect condition for $160AUD...

    Trailer hitch, to build or buy? any ideas?

    What will be the use of the trailer? If it's camping then I've just embarked on a simple camping idea. I dislike sleeping on the ground as I'm 69yo and knees etc. So I bought this lightweight box trailer and I'm taking off the top rack. My concept is to have a flat top that extends to double the...

    Trike build with windjammer 4

    Thanks Kynan. Much appreciated. It wasnt designed to look like a Munster type machine but it's a compliment. The welded up spiders and webs are flow through air sections and the website designed to stop our small dogs from escaping. The trike should be on the road by September with a video...

    Nice bike. I also had trouble releasing the chrome headlight rims but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. So just inside the viewable ring there is a plastic bendable locking tab. I found the ideal tool to use is a small spade screw driver with the last 1/4 inch bent at 90 degrees. With your...

    Trike build with windjammer 4

    Thankyou. The reverse works week but is slow. Won't need it often. The benefits are less weight on the front wheel and more room around the pinion area for maintenance. Thanks again. I'm stoked

    pinch weld trim and chrome

    Like many my trim is no good. I've purchased more the same size and separate chrome strip same size. As the pinch wled twists and turns I'm not confident it will remain on the side of the pinch weld so plan to place the chrome strip underneath it (once its sprayed the bike colour). Will it look...

    Electric extension mirrors

    I'm building a trike off a Honda Fury. The rear of my trike will be 1700mm or 1400 where reverse side mirrors need to see around. I've purchased 2x actuators 12 volt that will extend out past 1400mm to see to the rear (mirrors are essential in Australia, cameras dont replace mirrors here). Here...

    Trike build with windjammer 4

    this was my last trike where I mounted a roof. as you can see the mirrors are quite wide and in the way from pedestrians, hence the retraction idea.
