Ok here goes, My first trike build

[Jax]

Good luck with the build, your off to a good start. Hell of a deal on the beginning, wish I could find a table for $500. Those who have won't get off it and if they will they want to much. Keep us posted. I been workin on mine for just over a year and been on the road for 6wks. Not quite finished yet but close. Ride On

 

[Jacob]

So where are you at with your build? Have you had a chance to try out your reverse set up to see what kind of speed you get in reverse? Also what year and make of subaru stater did you use?? I have been searching for a ring gear like you used and can NOT find one in the price range you quoted. Can you help direct me to someone. I tried that bert racing transmissions but the cheapest thing they show is $190

 

[dcryder]

it was a 2000 subaru starter, most speed shops will have the ring gear it self. all you need is the ring gear not the hookup to the trans. If you can't find one pm me and I will get you one from the local speed shop in town and send it to ya.

 

[Jacob]

I live in a rural area of Arizona so there is no such thing as a speed shop to be found. Now that I know what starter to look for I will search to find one.
Thanks for replying. By the way have you gotten a chance to try your reverse out yet??

 

[dcryder]

only on the lift not on the ground yet. Like I said I can get you a small flywheel here and send it to you if you want.

 

[Jacob]

Ok I have searched and searched and can't find anything. Before I ask you to get me one I would like to verify the diameter is of the gear you used was 6 1/2"?

Contact me on my email so that we can discuss how to make this transaction work.

Thank You for helping me out. I know you don't know me from Adam so it's nice to find someone willing to help out!

[mbearsky]

Boy it was sounding so good, where did you go?? I need to know how you are doing with your new trike.. This is a exciteing story, keep it up..

 

[dcryder]

Ok after a couple of months taking care of the honey do list and fixing a rental I have, I started to work on the trike. I had to get re established again so I tried to install the fork brace but its not for this bike. so I either will have to sell the brace or trade it for one that will fit. I got the new to me gas tank setup for cleaning, it has some light surface rust inside it. also changed out the gas cap lock so I could use my original key for the bike. And thats where I left off for now.

 

[dcryder]

Worked on the trike today, setup the new rear door on the body got everything marked out to cut the hole in. Also took some measurements to make a box out of sheet metal for the trunk storage. Now all I have to do is cut it out and bend it up and weld in place.

 

[skuuter]

[Aussie Annie]

[bustedwing]

Dont know why but today is the first I have seen your posts. It looks very interesting and I hope you are getting everthing worked out.

 

[rrunner]

Todays the first time I saw your project and am very impressed. Please keep up with the updates.

 

[John Luciano]

No photos yet. Been watching it for what seems like a year.

 

[John Luciano]

If you get it up and running , you can come and show it off at the NE TT rally in Aug. we would love to kick the tires and talk about it. Looks like it should be a great looking project to sit a talk about. When you get a chance step back an show us the overall view of it as a compleat bike. ( bike and trike combo ) looks good .

 

[dcryder]

Haven't been able to work on it, have been sick with the flu. And with that also been having problems with my back. I am leaving tomorrow to go to the back specialist for a nerve block to see if that will help lessen the pain that I am in. It will be a little while before I can work on it again. Thanks for the interest will try to get more pics up later.

 

[John Luciano]

Well it is 8 months away...

 

[dcryder]

Got a chance to work on it some today, started to do the body work on all the body pieces that will be on the bike. Also looking into fabricating a box to go on the underside of the rear body as well.

 

[dcryder]

Ok after some time and thought I made a box to attach to the underside of the body so I could have extra storage space or a trunk as you would know it. I am going to try to attach it to the body today. here are some pics of the box.

 

[dcryder]

pepperGot the box welded to the underside of the body, and the ring installed that holds the door in place.

 

[Sacred Steel]

I didn't read through all the post's and someone may have already said this, or maybe you already know but that rear end will need to be flipped since the yamaha drive shaft is on the left.

 

[dcryder]

That has already been done. It was the first thing I tackled after the new swingarm was fabricated.

 

[Sacred Steel]

I figured that. Have you checked out my XS1100 trike?

 

[dcryder]

Yes I have and it is very interesting, are you going to leave it a solid chassi?
