My trike project
Well everybody, its been a little while since my last visit. Anything new going on? Anyway, just wanted to post a couple pics of my project going forward
This is a link to my photobucket account.
My trike project pictures by onerighthand - Photobucket
Check it out off and on as I do take photos of everything and also look at my past projects in other folders if you want. I also welcome candid and constructive critisizm, but let me qualify that. it is what it is up to this point and I have noticed there is a myriad of ways to do this. So I am using what I have and hopefully improving it. so tell me what I should be looking or watching out for, going forward, not backwards.
I just did not feel this bike was appropriate for bucket seats, but wish it was. An Air ride seat is being installed, better forward controls and some floor boards. I was sitting bent over like a paperclip too much before and wanted to sit up a bit more and add more leg room.
Fresh swing arm transaxle today was purchased and reinstalling the yet to be determined 1500 or 1600 until the rest of the bike is brought up to snuff. I will have my frame ready for paint tuesday. What should I paint it with?

I bought this trike as a "bare bones" in 2009 from a couple in Atlanta.
I rebuilt it in about 7 months and have had a ball with it--
But now have to sell it because of health reasons.
There is a small trailer that goes with it and they are listed on
Craigslist--Tampa Bay.
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE
Just joined the site this weekend, and this thread has, by far, been my favorite. Thought I'd post up a few pics of my trike. I have been trying to get this 72 trike my dad built (with some assistance from me), cleaned up and tuned up, and back on the road regularly.

I hope you know how ultra rare those wooden spoke wheels are. Do not loose them. If you want to get rid of them down the road you may want to check with some of the custom van forums.

Re: VW Trike Pics
Here are pics of a new trike that I am in the process of buildin, going to be a chopper style VW trike, has a singleport pancake motor mated up to an autostick trannie.
Also will have a custom gas tank[4.5 gal] and another gastank below[8 gallons- for those long trip] the lower gas tank will be hidden with sheetmetal to hide it, seal will be custom made from leather and laced, if I can remember how, also will have a girder frontend with a 21 " wheel.
Haven't dec'ded on paint yet, down the road on that part, will post pics as I go along.
I am building this trike for a dear friend, he has lost one of his legs, so maybe this will help him ride again.
