here is one of the cushion
Still not happy with it but it is better than it was


Here is one side of the rebar add on to the handle bars I like this look


My handlebars are stretched out and i have a windshield at the end
Im afraid my windshield is to heavy. I was thinking of make a new windshield out of lighter steal or even aluminum BUt i got to thinking will that really matter. I would think the wind against my windshield would be pushing down more then the actual weight.

pulled the drums off but the brakes look good still.
I bought brake pads a couple years ago thinking I needed them and it just needed adjustment.
Same this time
My brake shoes do not seem to be wearing down very fast.
I can lock up both wheels with out any problems (I have needed to do it to many time dogging deer)

I took my windshield off and weighed it 12.2 pounds. way to heavy.
I am in the process of redesigning it now
I have cut the weight in half my cutting off unneeded steel.

I have also changed the angle.
It started out at 60 degrees I have it down to 46 now.
I am hoping this will have several benefits.
less wind resistance so less for pushing down on the windshield and handlebars
rain and moisture will be pushed off easier by the wind
its at a angle now that I can wipe it off easier if needed
Looks cool

I'm really not seeing any major issues with the windshield or handle bars. But I am kind of paranoid and I like to tinker with the trike.
