Figured out my picture uploading issue

Changing from old triple tree to new triple tree and extenders







Lehman (Champion) Raider trike kit









Set up and ready to tackle rear end

 

[wefrogy]

old swing arm, shocks, belt, rear tire and fender off





New swing arm, shocks, belt and rear axle being installed



Rear end done



Setting body on to make sure it clears exhaust and to tighten up all body support brackets and drill holes for seat



Lookin sweet! Love that fat rear end. Too bad we have to take the body back off to get it painted

 

[Zammy]

Looking good Michelle !

 

[wefrogy]

hubby got my floor boards installed. We were able to find one place that made them for the sportster and I am so happy with them



Attached the new back rest...I laugh every time I look at it...it is so tiny compared to the fat rear end. Our old back rest didn't fit the seat mount we got for the seat and this is the only one that does

Looks nice, have you chosen a color yet? :clapping:

Nice Job .... Looks Great

Looks nice, have you chosen a color yet? :clapping:

Yes.... green, I just have to find the right green. I like bright colors and I want to be seen but I don't want to Neon or a lime green so I'm still trying to narrow the exact color down

 

[wefrogy]

Thank you all, I am very excited about this project and cannot wait to get her on the road

 

[trike lady]

Is it done yet? We're waiting.

 

[wefrogy]

The build is done but still waiting on availability of the paint guy. He is doing it on the side and had to finish up another project before he could get to us. Hubby is supposed to call him today as this past weekend was the time frame he gave us that he was booked til. Really hoping this upcoming weekend is the weekend he can do it

 

[wefrogy]

body prep is almost done and the paint is due to be shot this coming weekend

 

[TGCarol]

Your trike is looking great :clapping:. I can't wait to see what color green you chose. That's my favorite color too.

I hope you really enjoy riding it when it's complete.

Ride safe.

 

[wefrogy]

Thank you, I am super excited. The color is called pearl uranium green. I am supposed to get the color sample today for approval.

 

[TGCarol]

Wow! If that's the same green that comes up in images when I Google Pearl Uranium Green, it's going to look awesome :clapping:.

 

[GRR]

Thank you, I am super excited. The color is called pearl uranium green. I am supposed to get the color sample today for approval.

Congrats :Congrats:

Looking forward to seeing it finished!

 

[trike lady]

You couldn't ask for a more unique color. Your trike will look awesome. :clapping:

 

[wefrogy]

Well it didn't get painted this past weekend like I thought it was going to be. He is working on it throughout the week and hopefully it will be done by this coming Sunday for us to pick up.

Oh my gosh I love those greens in the above pics, thinking mine's going to be a little lighter.

here are some more pics
