My VW Mamba.

Never get tired of looking at different trikes and the VW powered Trikes are some of the coolest! Put your pictures up with a brief description here.

Almost three years later after I started on this project.Fiber over foam, and lots of thumb sucking there after.

Thanks Papa Zook.

Here is what I currently ride but am building another with autostick. Will be different configeration from this one . Will support rear VW shell look just like a stock VW from the rear. Pictures of the build later

Thanks for asking for pictures, I too love looking at the differences being built

My knowledge about the front forks are zero. What can I do to make them stiffer. The front weighs about 70Kg. Small pot holes make it reach max movement. I never opened them. Maybe a service would do the trick.

When you service them try 30 wt oil.

Body-off profile.

Thanks a lot. Still a lot to do. I had to drive it to get some motivation. Taking a chance driving in the streets of my tiny town. Not registered yet.Wiring done, but no instruments and switches yet. Still working on my third dashboard design.

Thanks for that advice. I did just that, and now it works just fine. The one tube was totally empty, and the other had only a bit of oil in it. Dirty as hell. I washed the lot, and then added oil from what info I could find on the net.

Trike by TomyJ

I bought the Tri-muter plans and changed the length and width to cover the 1600cc VW engine, 4 speed and big 15" N50 rear tires, Porsche 914 seats, made in 1986 and took about 4 years to complete, being a machinist I made all the custom metal pieces and the windshield posts were the worst with 2 angles at the base. I hope you like it, I loved cruzing in it, my young son's job to wave at the people smiling at us :>)

This is some of the steps.

This forum is lucky, as I can not seem to upload more pictures. There are about ninety more pictures, plus the ones still in the camera.

1970 Wilmac

Hello, Picked this up a couple months ago. 1970 Wilmac that originally had a 66 1200 and now has a 74 1600. Just needs a little spit and polish. But I am also going to remove the rear fenders and put on some 29x15R15 MT SR's, dual megaphone Pipes and few more cosmetic dress up parts.

Welcome aboard Chad. Should be a fun trike. looks good now it will be great when you are done.

Chad.... Welcome to Trike-Talk.......:wave4:

 

[Quasimoto]

Thanks a lot. I have wanted one since I was young and reading the old biker magazines. I at first started building one a couple years ago using a oldschool stretch Honda chopper and a 69 vw sub assembly. But after watching this trike be for sale off and on for over a year I figured it was more of the oldschool styling I wanted and figured I would give it a good home.

I confess, I don't usually get interested in Vee DUBB Trikes but I saw this one this morning and it really caught my eye besides being for sale too.

It is in York, PA.
