Hello everyone !! I just joined TRIKETALK and wanted to introduce myself. I am located in S.C. and I am new to the trike scene. My user id is Speed Demon & those with some age on them will know why from the pic. I just purchased a home made 64 VW framed Subaru powered water cooled trike. It is in a somewhat unfinished state. I only have 1 pic for now but will update with more as I complete the trike. So as this completion continues I will have to ask for some advice from more experienced trikers. Thanks & HAPPY HOLIDAYS

New guy. And a question

Does anyone know who makes a REAL TRIKE CONVERSION for a 2005 Kawasaki 1500cc Nomad? Not an add on kit that doesn’t replace the rear wheel.

I will keep you updated on the progress. So far the trike runs nicely. It came with electronic ignition so thats a plus. It is also supposed to be a converted aircraft engine rated @ 100hp. I am in no real hurry as the 30's & 40's usually keep me off the cycles. You know, us old people have thin blood !!!

Thanks Gorilla and to all the others for the warm welcome. I will post more pics hopefully sometime this weekend (12/02 or 12/03). Got a bit of stuff coming to put on the trike. Will get some good pics of the Subaru install. OOOPS forgot I got a Toys For Tots Ride Saturday. Will be on 2 wheels for that. Should still get some time for the trike tho on Saturday. Thanks again & HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!
