My Ride

Tombstone, AZ. One of my riding buddies :clapping:

Tigger jumped off going by Lake Pleasant. Went back for him. Then a couple weeks later he bailed again on the 101 N. Too many cars to get him. :( May Tigger RIP!

Front end finished, this will have proven to be the most difficult part of the conversion, It actually took me longer to accomplish than the rear end.- preparing to Take down the rear end of bike to begin trike conversion.

C-2-gettingstarted-traveltrunkremoved_zps9e5973a5.jpg
I don't have any fancy bike lifts, just gotta do it the old fashioned way. Jack stands and chain hoist. Allot of laying on the floor and stooping over on wheeled stools.
Very glad I have a chain hoist, air tools to save time and a torch, plasma cutter and wire feed welders.

Wheel off the ground so I can disassemble and mark wiring, exhaust removal.

Just gotta remove my rear fender so I can get to the swing arm for removal.

My Champion straight axle kit finally arrives, Christmas in may!



What a wiring nightmare! I loved every second of bleeding hands! I took lots of pictures of the wiring inside of the console to help me remember how it all went back together.

frame completed and stock air shocks re-installed. Still have chain hoist attached for safety. It's still on jack stands and I may get a little muscle involved.
