Back in 1968 My Captain friend (Pilot) I was in the back seat. We were in the Duluth Minn. area doing radar check on the defense NORAD radars. We look down about 10,000 ft and saw a pair of F-106's and decided to see if we could jump them out of the sun. All was going great until they spotted us. Damn those afterburners are pretty. Fun times also in the back seat. Nice view though when you are upside down in a dive.

Wiring







Battery Port is in, I am not liking square holes from round holes. I am not a fan of wiring, Now to run it from the handlebars (Throttle, Key switch, Brake lever wires, Headlight) Into the headstock, where I hope to run the 3/4 plastic conduit with the battery leads to the swing arm wiring panel, :gah:

 

[Zammy]

I'm seeing a lot of progress Tomy, ThumbUp

 

[TomyJ]

After their journey through the frame I tested each one before going further. Distant neighbor stopped by and said all my projects looked great and this eTrike is his favorite, he asked the price when finished so I told him $3K, and he said that was cheap with all the custom work !!! And he told his wife he wanted it and we'll talk later, YEA! :clapping:

Directions

Hi guy's long time running, smashed my big toe really good 2 weeks on the sofa (drawings time) did not want to go through the process of Aluminum Rec tubing so I doug out the extra J-Box and mounted the forward-Reverse lever and the Speed 1-2-3 and for now I'll wait on the lights, just the horn and maybe the flashing tail lights. These projects are up for sale because the rents here are going crazy high so I'm going to try and buy one of those SmallHouses and add he-shed/carport? and rent space or buy?
