Trike Wiring

When i originally dis assembled the donar car that i got the motor and trans from i also started to trim out the wiring loom of the things i didn’t need such as the heater, central locking, cruise control , electric windows and air con wiring etc . During a moment of madness i accidently […]

Trike Framing 7

I’ve cut up some 3mm plate to fit between the seat framing and the lower pipes so that both items are locked solid together, i’ve cut ( and yet to finish ) a half circle shape in the 3mm plate so that later when i make the body panel if i choose to put some […]

Trike Framing 6

Here we have a close up of the steering neck and i got to say that notching these pipes to meet up with the neck was a complete pain just because there are like 3 or so different angles to take into acount, anyway its all done now so i’m happy again. . I spent […]

Trike Framing 5

Now that the steering neck is mounted in place i temporarly mounted the front forks and wheels just so i can visualise the overall shape of the trike, so i took a photo and photoshopped a couple bits and peices just to get a general idea. Backbone has been aligned and tacked in place. I […]

The steering neck is all made up and ready to be fitted so i sat in the drivers seat and worked out how high i want the steering so that its comfortable to look over, then i worked out that i wanted 600mm of backbone which gave me the height and distance to mount the […]

Whilst i had the engine on the jig i decided to play with some exhaust tubing and mock up the frame just so i can get a visual idea of what was going to work or not. As a result it allowed me to get a feeling for the general dimensions and shape After building […]

Trike Construction 3

This is now the 2.5 litre G25a Honda motor not the noisey 2 litre one that i had in there previously. It’s nice and quiet and goes well. Everything is all plumbed up and now also has a K&N filter added Another aerial view of the motor. As you can see its quite a snug […]

Trike Construction 2

Here’s where i see the second immediate cosmetic issue. If i was to go with the idea of using the whole front end including suspension then i would end up with the top arms poking above the wheel like they do here, so for now i see i have a couple of choices. 1) use […]
