Does a trike conversion need rear fenders in PA?

[JeffH717]

WOW looks good Jeff

Thank you sir. Got it fired up today! I could listen to this thing run for hours. It is just oozing testosterone and 'Merica. Yeah, I'm aware of the paint bubble by the speedo. Welding thin metal is hard, especially when you're too cheap to buy a bottle of shielding gas.

Cool build. Did I see baby moons on chrome rims? Yeah baby!:clapping:

NICE !!!!!!!!!!

nice build.

most fenders, more for water spray, some Debri, most rear fenders on sports, start at top of tire.

tractor trailers, have to be within 8" of ground. I've seen the tractors only have flaps.

fenders to keep you from touching moving tires, would seem important, all belts needed gaurds, for passenger safety of there feet.

a set of low pro, tire hugging fenders, painted black, hard to see from far away, they won't hurt you re look. can't even see my front fender i would make a small set, just to get past inspection.

Sure did! Even better they're Cragars. Old school.

I love that red trike, you don't see those every day. Did you build it? I don't know if I've ever seen one quite like it.

I'm currently fabricating fenders using the metal from my old oil furnace. I'm a little worried about the 8" from the ground thing though, I took my cues from the fenders on the trailers at Tractor Supply. I have a lot of work into them already, I think I'll roll the dice. If they don't pass they're easily removable and I'll just make another set.

Here's one of the fenders I'm working on. I can't imagine the guy who inspects it will look at it and say, "Nope, not good enough". Maybe I should mount an axe handle to the frame to encourage cooperation.

Man, the more I look at that red machine the more I like it. The 80's Corvette wheels, the insane rake that seems to defy physics. Do you have a build thread or more pics of it anywhere? What engine is on it?

 

[JeffH717]

I found a pic of what this build began as. It has to be one of the ugliest paint schemes Harley ever put out. I hope they fired the guy that designed it, he has no business designing graphics for anything.

 

[TwistedKarma]

yes, built the triples from billet alum, complete frame, and and the front swingarm, . it was exhausting, to be honest, 350 vette engine, from a 85, with it's rear suspension. 2 speed glide.

look under my basket of parts for my post.

it was just in the philly shirners toy run sunday.

tagged it june ,

your fenders will be fine, most bikes barely have one in front or rear, it seems as long as you have something, it seems.

Thank you for what you do. It cuts deep. God Bless.

Been a while, but I got the fenders ready to mount today. Made out of scrap steel from my old oil furnace. Humidity was under the recommended max to paint today here in central PA so I got them sprayed. It was a fun day. I love painting once I get in the mindset to do it.



Looking forward to getting them mounted up tomorrow. I am infamous for having no patience and getting finger prints in this stuff because I want to see it together. Not today, satan!

 

[Zammy]

They look great Jeff, can't wait to see it all together.

 

[Jack Klarich]

Nice work on the fenders:clapping:

 

[Gorilla]

Nice work.

 

[JeffH717]

Got some stuff bolted together today. I have to say it's looking pretty cool.

I'm really liking the front.

now thats nice

Looks good Jeff!

Nice paint design. The black blends into the tires and the thinner orange stripes pull the front fender look to the rear. Minimizes the rear fender look. ThumbUpThumbUp

Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking. Invisible, but not really.​

 

[JeffH717]

Cleaned up under the seat today and added the springs. Not a big deal but it was bothering me. Everything is super solid and ready to go.

Nice clean lines, that should look badass rolling down the road

My buddy gave me an old ammo can. Cut it down about 5" and slapped some spray paint on it. I now have a redneck dry box. Stenciled on a Bennington flag to make it a bit more interesting.
