Hello all

[Charlie]

Hi, I signed on few weeks ago and thought I'd better say hi.

I'm in the very early stages of getting all my parts for a v8 trike and found the site and thought could help.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to build my forks or go with a motorcycle kit.
Any advice is welcome

Charlie

WELCOME to TRIKE TALK.....MMMM, V-8 Trike......ThumbUp

LOL. Ya me and a friend are going to build it from scratch, he's a welder so it makes it easier at least.

Was thinking of using an in-line 6 I have outa old jeep but I think it would have a larger frame then I'm looking for. I'm a Bobber guy all tye way, at least until I got hit by a car and messed up my back. Now I am ready to build a trike.

Well I rode a V8 trike at bike week this year and all I can say is WOW.... I think they are more of a weapon than a trike fastest thing I have ever rode in my life.... Welcome to trike talk and good luck in what ever you do...

I HAD a motorcycle front on mine, am going with a leading link. With all the weight to consider, I just dont think motorcycle forks are up to it, on mine anyway, not to say it won't work on others.mine bent and twisted....Its more of a hassle trying to find another set of forks that "may" work a apposed to building a set that will work

 

[Charlie]

well I found a picture of this front end and think will go ahead and build some thing similar. Now all I have to do is find a way to mount the wheel and attach some brakes, lol. figure I'll use 2 front motorcycle brake set up running to the handlebars.

Thats kinda what I had in mind trikerbob or trikerdons web sites can guide you the right direction building one of these front ends and trikertroy sells them as a kit as well.
