Trike rear bumper

[iaff84]

Steve, I don't know if you ordered anything yet, but I was looking thru some car magazines yesterday and saw a collection of tube bumpers & nerf bars for street rods, I realized that with a little fabrication I could create a rear bumper for my TG no one else would have. If you or some of your friends have some fab skills I bet you could have your own custom bumper. One of the things I thought about was making a bumper that would be wide enough to protect the back of the rear fenders, with all the different size & style tubes it would not be big & bogus looking. The center section could be as wide as the trunk area and 2 smaller sections for the rear of the fenders, but not to the outside edge. I think it would look better being a little shorter and you wouldn't be hitting the end of the bumper when walking around the rear corner of the TG.
Sorry if this is a little long winded, I'm designing mine while I'm typing this, it will be my winter project for my TG. I will be filling for a design patent tomorrow. :laugh:

Make the area behind fenders to hold the small coolers. This way out of the way of trunk area.

I am still looking for a rear bumper for my champion conversion kit.. does anybody out there know where I might find one or have one made for my trike

The rear bumper is added security against damage and looks good. And you can hang your wet undershorts off them to dry, after you get pulled out of the creek.

Can anyone tell me if there is a Trike magazine similar to Easyriders.

The Easyriders folks have a new 'bagtger and trikes' mag. so far, more baggers than trikes

chrome rear bumper for a Hannigan conversion

Does anyone know if there's a chrome rear bumper for a Hannigan conversion on a Harley Ultra?

When searching for the "Bumper" be sure to use the term R
ear Guard. The reason is that if they designate it as a bumper, it has to conform to the Vehicle 5 MPH standard. It's the reason Champion and the other After Market conversions don't make them.

Before converting our SG,I was thinking seriously about a Freewheeler. My plans were to modify one on a streetrod theme and one of the many mods contemplated were some custom rear nerf bars. Here's one of the ideas I was kicking around.

Great pictures. Never thought of putting a winch on, but how cool would that be? Reverse goes out...no problem.

 

[FuzzyWuzHe]

Kevin from DK Customs is probably the black rear bumper you saw ... I believe his is made in his shop

That's a fuel tank?? What's it used for? Still like the idea of a winch!!

........What's it used for? .....

Seriously GoSlo, you never drag raced or street rodded. That little tank was the main source of fuel.. Fuel, that stuff that you can't find between Hot Springs, SD and Brush, CO. Ran out about 9 miles out of Brush coming out of Sturgis on Hwy 71. Lucky the chase vehicle had some.

I've got a tank just about like that hanging on my the wall of my shop. Ran it on my '32 Vicki. But mine has Moon Eyes on it.

Back to the rear bumper issue....I bought one off eBay for $40.00 that was scratched up badly.. Sent it to the power coating people, Came out great. Ran into a fellow at the dealership that had to have it sooooooooo, $200.00 later I had $$$ to buy a chrome one.
