    Trike Updated!!

    OK Bear! Here ya go, Bud! I finished the vast majority of work on this baby. The brake and tail lights should be here in a day or two. I also ordered an electric shifter. The front and rear brakes operate off the handlebar brake lever via a regulator designed to equal the flow to front and rear. (got the idea from a Jaguar) Rear brake calipers are Brembo (stolen from a Ducati) and will stop a truck. I tried to design the whole thing with physically challenged riders in mind. (In Juniors case Mentally challenged). So far so good, I test drove it this morning and everything seems to be in order, except....I forgot to install a reverse gear, that is next on my list.

    Thanks partner, I built it from scratch with a wrecked E-Glide modified the rest of what you see here. The fender and axle cover were made by a boat company built to my specs. Although I will go with another painter in the future, the paint is too soft and gets scratched easy.

    Nice job!
