Trike, we have been watching. You just have to wait while we pick up our jaws off the floor! Just awesome. Not my taste but your skills are just magic. Rock on!

looking good. Hurry up already.
Actually with that width, there is some volume there... Wouldn't be to surprised if it ends up being just a pint less than stock...

You're dead right there Tweety. It should be about the same as a stocker.
If I can get 90 miles out of it I'll be happy.
I get 90 to a Tank on my Trike so at about 70 miles I start looking for somewhere to fill up.

You'll have to wait a while for Colors.
I'm running it in bare metal for a while to iron out any problems.

why are you asking him? FYI: a quick search on this forum will find several people who have done it, the mounting locations are different but you can make brackets to make it work.

Now stop hijacking his thread about his custom bike.

Umm.. I was asking him because of his fabrication work, not hi-jacking his thread about his bike. Also I did find a few others that did it here after I asked him, only asked him like I said because he is a fabricator

You can make anything fit anywhere with a grinder and a Welder.
I'm toying with the idea of fitting all my Firestorm parts onto a 2ltr Car Engine.

Finished all the welding on the frame and started on the blending.
I'm not using any filler on this frame incase I get it Powder coated so all the smoothing will be done in weld.

Not done much on the Honda in a few weeks.
Been too busy with a new build and I've been on a few Runs on my Trike the past few weekends but I have been in the Shed all day today working on the forward controls. Here's a quick update for you.

Finally managed to drag myself to do a bit more on this ****** thing.
Got a Master Cylinder and gear linkage sorted but managed to **** up the Rear mudguard in a bit of a tantrum with the whizzer.
It might be repairable but I've took my ball home for now, and I might burst it

Looks very cool Trike, definitely original! Just thinking that the nut-job walrus-bearded dad from OCC's head would explode if he saw the state of your shop, lol...
