Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

hay subeetrikerdon, did you do the engineering on the forks? That looks like it will work well on the bumps.

i love that front end...i'm on the market for one possible harley glide front end to the gas tank....

This is my Australian Panther trike previously featured in January 2012 Trike talk trike of the month. It started off as a 1916 VW with auto trans. Then went to Ea81 Brat Subaru engine, then a weber went on, then SC12 supercharger. Now it has single point fuel injection from USA (didnt come out here with it). And is running 90%. sorting out some sensor issues.

Below is a trike in New Zealand. My mate is sitting on it after a ride. cool eh

Re: VW Trike Pics

Thanks to all you people who have posted pictures. I have a 2005 trike that was built in Florida. I don't believe it was ever licensed. Sat in storage forever and tank was rusted. Didn't know condition when I bought it in Florida.
Really like trike and attempted to drive it home. Bought in Miami and didn't make it out of Miami. Still like the trike. Building another engine this winter. Will post pictures next summer.

Re: VW Trike Pics

This is 1 of 2. 1978 Wilmac my dad bought after a bout with cancer. He had sold his original trike (a 1980's Steirs kit that he bought in the early 1990's) - he didn't think he would be able to ride anymore after skin cancer. A few years back he bought this one and another that a friend used. When he passed away in Feb. 2010 my mom didn't now what to do with them and asked if I wanted one. I took the Wilmac and told her she should give the other to dad's friend.

This picture was taken that summer with my kids sitting on it trying to look cool!

Trike 2 of 2. Bought this one through a local add. Engine mounted on frame, body bolted on but not tightened down. It's titled as a 1980 Homemade (same body as the blue one though) with a South Dakota assigned VIN.

All the other parts are in boxes and popcorn tins. Debating whether to combine the 2 trikes or build 2 separate ones (the blue trike has had body work done that is cracked badly so I'm considering a new body for it).

John does this help? It is all packed in so most of it hides it's true nature.

After many months of working abroad and then finally getting the trike painted, assembled, tested and registered, it is now on the road and rides like a dream

 

[Trike]

All finished now and road legal. Won best in show at local mcc event. Well pleased. One problem I have is that transmission oil keeps being forced out the axel ends over the brakes. I assume it is because I have shortened them to 10" each side and the oil has no where to go but not sure how little I should put in the manual box.

On the downhill side of the project

I moved to Ohio a couple years ago after losing everything. So I needed a project to start my life over with and keep my head on straight. I am now adjusted somewhat, got a small house and am now finishing my second bike. I don't have my supercharged Yamaha anymore, because it hurt my back to ride, so I sold it regrettably, and have now started a new project, and something I have always wanted to do. This bike won the month of august of a 12 month international yamaha web site calender contest

Both bikes are totally hand made with minimal tools.
So this trike is a project I started in a carport and from a worn out previously built bike. I had an idea that I wanted to make a trike with kinda of stake bed flat bed truck flavor to just travel locally in an upright easy going seated position and carry groceries and supplies, while saving gas.

When I got this bike, every single thing on the bike was warn out a frozen, literally. The engine started, but I could not ride it. the fork bearings were frozen straight and that was the minor things.

Anyway, this 1500 swing axle is all new. frame is majorly changed, as are the forks, engine, trans, brakes, bolts washers etc... Every single part is new and or rebuilt. I just wanted a grocery getter with better mileage than my truck. In back of the seat is an open shelf rack for carrying tools, rope or whatever, an above that is a large hidden lockable storage compartment. There will be an oak board that when inserted behind the seat, creates an boxed area to carry stuff on the flatbed. The sides are removable. I also incorporated bolting points to put a passenger seat on, if needed, and also another dune buggy style round tube gas tank to add 5 gallons more that the 5 gallon vintage harley tank already in place. the seat will tilt forward, for rainy days when parked. I like my 1910 vintage solid brass norton motorcycle headlight I purchased from england.

It was converted from acetylene gas burning to halogen, as was the model-T tail lights. Can you imagine lighting your headlight and tail lights with a match before going on a ride. I am finding the wiring to be the most daunting at the moment. Wood is all oak.

Comments are welcome, good and bad. You cannot hurt my feelings, cuz it is what I wanted and not like anybody elses.
