I do plan on selling the body I made the mold from.
I will be taking 3 body's out of the molds.
One for the trike I'm building now.
One for the 2nd trike with a '93A GL1500
And one more for a trailer.
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Start to wax the molds finally.
This is the body mold after compound buff & 1st coat of wax, only 5 more coats to go.

Skip-
Im sure enjoying this build. Thanks for posting it!
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

1st Body out of the molds, with trunk installed.
Had a few places where the gel coat came loose & made bubbles.
That was from me moving the mold around as I fiberglassed it.
I put it standing on end to do the trunk door & lower section, the ext. outlets would have been up side down.
Than lay it down to do the rest of it.
That twitched it as I moved it by myself, extra hands would have been great.
But very little body work to get it ready for primer/paint.
Still need to assy the two halves of the trunk door together.







This body has been sold, so now I need to make one for me & my Trike
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Great to sell the first off all ready. Sure helps to offset those costs. Congrats
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Body #2 is popped & washed.
The warmer weather sure makes it easier to work.
Will work on the trunk parts today.
Started to spray the release on them

It's been fun & long.
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Skip I see you went the tough route and widened the fenders. A lot of work but the best way of doing it. It's going to look GREAT.
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

I can't wait to see it back together and painted . VERY unique when done...
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

A man true to my own heart go Skip, I think that you will have a peice of rolling artwork when it's finished mate keep the pics comming. I rode a 95 1500/6 and loved it sold it when wife went to god , I'm a bit of a wingnut myself.

Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Been busy finishing up the fiber glass work on the new wider body.
Started the body work & may be finished with that this week end.
I have a few people interested in a body & may make a mold of it.
Looking for anyone who may want a body, will need at least 3 orders with small deposit before I go though all that work.
Let me know what you think about it or any idea.
e-mail under last picture.
Here are a few early pictures before the body work started.





Also started to build a travel bag system with the bags & fill panel panel you remove when you go to Trike.
Will slide into your tow hitch and will be for the 1 1/4" or 2" hitch.
Will fit the bike, trike or truck/car with wiring for the lights.
No license is need for it as it don't touch the road.
About 6 cu ft storage in 3 compartments.
Working on the GL1500 model right now & have a set for the GL1800 coming in off eBay.
Everything is being molded & will be available as a kit in the future.
Should be able to install the kit with med. tools.
No welding or fiber glass work needed.
They will have a hardtop hinged with a locking latch.
Here a picture of the GL1500 model still under work.
Let me know what you think about it or any idea.
e-mail under last picture.

Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Very nice Skip. I like the size of the taillights.
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

That is going to be noticed where ever you go. It is bad enough we get the people that are interested in a trike , the people that have never seen a trike before but now u are going to be stopped by even other trike owners , GOOD LUCK at gas stops <LOL> ( hint bring small chairs to sit on )

The rear end is 1999 Miata IRS with a BMW diff. with 2.93:1 gearing, same as bike. HD air shocks. Tires are a little tall so need to get smaller.
Body is custom from the mold I made, widen 4.5 center fender & mold in tail lights.
Trunk go's from fender to fender & will hold a helmet.
I did all of the work on it. Friend helped finish the body work for me.
Can see the complete build on this GoldWind forum.

Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

I always said I would like to take all the good parts of the 12 or so kits and make my own trike, I think u may have done it. Fender to fender trunk . Only 2 have that Champion and DFT. And now yours. And you put to use the PT Cruiser light . Look better on the trike than they did on the car.
 
Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike

Tail lights are from a 2000 HYUNDAI ELANTRA, didn't use PT lights.

It was a long time coming, but sorry to report that the trike is up for a new home. Have it listed on other forum here.
It was fun & enjoyable, but time to move on.
