hay subeetrikerdon, did you do the engineering on the forks? That looks like it will work well on the bumps.

Made a change

She is still a little nervous but it's been too cold to take her very much. Summer's coming.......:beerchug:

Put in front facing windows (safety glass) so Sheba can see to the front. Also makes it seem less confining for her.....

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

here are the pics, 'low rider' in the works

That's gonna be my kind of trike, redneckray. Love girders - as you can see...

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

the guy that made the frame, is he still in bussiness

Dave Watt, Cyclestyle in New Zealand. He is no longer in business. Mine is a Cyclestyle Digger frame - I cut the neck and raked it to 55 degrees. Nova Trikes used a knock-off of the Cyclestyle frame, but they are no longer in business either, sadly.

Dave Watt built 'the Alchemist' - the most awesome VW trike on the planet - that I saw a photo of years ago on the web and absolutely loved. No references of any kind, just a photo. Couple years later I saw it up for sale, called Dave, agreed on a price, and then investigated the process of shipping to the US, importing, registering, etc. and discovered it was next to impossible. So I built my own. Here's mine and Dave's side by side (top and left are Dave's, bottom and right are my version).

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

here's what I think a nice trike is all about, I might be a little bit predijust.
itas a 2007 rewaco fx5, 3 seat, 1915 fuelinjected vw, done in purple metalflake, plus lots of electronics, J&M cb-intercom, xm radio, and garmin zumo 550 so I can get lost easier.

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

I like the Rewaco. They make one with a Harley TC88bB engine too - the FX6

- used to be the HS6. I had considered buying one of their adapters that mounts the Harley engine to a VW transaxle for my last sandrail, but the combined cost of the adapter and a new TC88b engine was just too much.

What a good place to try one of those new S & S "X" wedge motors.

2005 Nova Cruiser - low and comfortable:

Second trike - Nova fairings, shift system, controls, etc., CycleStyle frame:

 

[trikes4ever]

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

Really sad to see Nova go out of business. I dealt with them a LOT when I was building my last VW trike. I actually purchased my Cyclestyle Digger frame from them - the only one they had left. They originally purchased all their frames from Cyclestyle, but started experiencing delivery problems, so began manufacturing their own. They built a nice trike and were great people. Always had answers to questions, and parts were delivered promptly and accurately.

The frame came with the paperwork to register, and insurance companies knew what Nova was, so greatly simplified titling and insuring. At the time I bought the frame they also had polished stainless Cyclestyle a-arms which I really preferred over Nova's chromed steel ones. They also had a Cyclestyle polished stainless lower 'luggage rack' - which worked great after I bent the back up 90 deg to make room for my battery.
