There is just so much inspiration on this site. I just had to get me a project!!!
So Mike the Stripe started to build this trike, then he bought 2 Ed Roth trikes and did not have any time for this trike. So he sold me this one for way tooo much money. I have had it for almost 2 months now. Parts showing up in the mail every other day. I have been having fun working on her. Lots of internet time!!! I was hoping to get her ready for Florida, but..... I don't think it will work out. I will try!!. One great thing about this trike is the oil pan is already installed. I can do everything else. Every day it looks more awesome. Just started to order things for wiring. it is getting closer. It looks longer then the orange one but it is not. It has a 383 stroker and a 700r4 and a Jaguar rearend. Looking forward to the first ride, still a few months out.
That is one fine project ! Please put some more pics up. I'd like to see the setup for the TV cable since my bracket is not quite finished , the rear suspension,driveshaft, and cooling system plumbing. I was wondering if it has a lockup converter in it ? I'm biased on why I think you have the perfect drive train combo ! thanks jeff
Mike got his old trike back from me. It will be interesting to see how that one shapes up now that Norm has it. Since it has no oil or anti freeze in it I doubt that it leaks anything and that should help keep the oil pan safe for a while.
We spent all day a Corbin today getting a custom seat made. Next week the body panels. then some paint. Take everything apart and power coat the frame. Taking a lot longer than I thought. It is going to be bad ass
The wiring pan under the seat is finished, the part behind the seat is 90% and the dash is 90%. should finished these and the side panels next week. the paint will be sublime green!! the beast will breath soon.
The project is coming along. Slower than I wanted. Hope to get body parts to the painter soon.
She was looking a little sexy........... so I gave her some see through clothing.
Going to be different. But we all like different Some colored lights behind the mesh. Yea baby
All the body parts are at the painters. I am taking the frame to get it power coated this weekend. Reassembly starts soon.
My garage has never been so messy, it's driving me crazy.
Hot diggity dog!!! Wow looks awesome but did not expect the frame to look like that - never saw one stripped down like that!! Powder coating does look great! Can't wait to watch the build!!
Very nice project in motion.. question, are you planning on keeping the "zoomies" on it and do they clear the body ok? That'll be an ear popper for sure!
Nice powder coating scheme too.. have not seen that on a bike frame before. I imagine your teeth will be clenched on every move as not to scratch a thing! looking forward to seeing the finished beast and of course, hearing it!!
Looks great Norm! Love the exposed look, especially the engine and zoomies. Can't wait to hear and see it going down the road.
