At long last the trike is 98% finished. The 2% left is small things like upholster the arm rest’s and make engine cover and get it complied, get a VIN number and register it. The Engine cover I probably won’t do till summer time, for now the goal is getting it on the road.
I ended up taking the plunge and decided to paint the trike myself. I painted it in a colour called Voodoo blue which is the colour of the latest Holden Commodore, it’s a metallic and looks cool under the sunlight, oh which reminds me I have to do a couple more coats of clear on the paint yet but I’ll do that after compliance probably.
I Like the look of the rear of it now. I have the exhaust powder coated buy HPC Coatings which is a high temp powder coat and doesn’t burn off like the spray can exhaust paint they claim to work
Here’s me with my cordura riding gear on, ready to hit the streets hehe
The frame was powder coated a gloss black and the forks where powder coated an aluminium look cause it was cheaper than getting them chromed and looks similar.
Overall I’m happy with it considering it’s my first attempt at building a trike from scratch. At the end of the day I set a target to build a trike and I did it so all’s good.
