Mein Trike

[HolyCount]

In case anyone wants to see what's (slowly) happening with the trike project I have put the highlights up on a build diary at http://countmobile.weebly.com

As you will see, all the hard work (and the brain work) is being done by a mate (for a suitable donation to the holiday fund). Once he has finished it will be shipped here and taken apart for cleaning, painting, wiring and all the stuff you are all so familiar with ... so I shall be asking many more questions  ;D

So when will it be on the road??

Keep up the great work

Steve.

Schweet... I didn't read it all as i'm meant to be doing homework so just had a quick look at pictures, but it looks tasty!... Love the tailpipes!

Get back to those books, Max  ;D ...... nah...  it's good to have e break now and then to let the brain recover  : Yeah, I'm in love with those pipes too .... should sound great as well.

Steve, plan is to get all the "heavy" stuff done while the evenings are still fairly warm ( and light), then over the winter do the smaller stuff like wiring, tidying up and buy lights, wheels and such as the budget allows. Hoping to be able to SVA it ( no IVA for me) in the spring to ride out come summer.

Kev, looks really good, my only concern would be are the exhausts, excellent though they look, are going to introduce hot air onto the radiator

Alan...

Will have a ponder on that one .... but the theory is that the fan behind the rad is sucking cooler air through from the airspace to the rear of the trike. Might have to consider a heat shield though.

exausts pipes not enclosed ? then heat  not a problem radiated heat from the exhausts is negligable when on the move and not a massive problem static if open to the elements

Going way off topic I prefer Overhauling they do far more sensible & subtle changes to the car, Boyd Coddington was just too radical, much prefer Chip Foose creations.

Alan...

I'll second that Alan
Chip Foose is a talented artist!

Chip Foose is the man! Saw him in Vegas a few years back  ;D

Boyd is a bit of a gimp!

Front wheel finally arrived back from Central today ---- to say I am pleased is an understatement!  Got a morad alloy rim for half the price. They couldn't do what I ordered in the size I was after, so did the Morad for the same price  ;D
