FunkyOld Man - I stand amazed at your build. It makes me want one just like it to let me put my own cosmetics to it. Nice use of the VW fender. Great job on the engineering and fabrication!

This is what I have when I started. I am working on exactly how it will finish out.

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. Nothing very fancy or highly polished but it is working well. Drove it all week trying to break it and it's holding up great. Added a steering damper, wind shield, storage area, etc. I am hoping to get it ready to drive to Texas in August to visit my folks. About 1000 miles each way. Not sure if I should try it this early :)

[QUOTE=Bazooka;138312]Please post your home built trike pics here![/QUOTE]
Please excuse me,Newbie here. Trying to post pictures. Red light says(file is too big?) Have never had a problem posting pictures on the internet (eBay-Craigslist-eMails). Guess I need some help?
Thanks,Slim
I always wanted to build a trike. Check out my first ride:
[video=youtube_share;8LbHuLxs2BE]https://youtu.be/8LbHuLxs2BE[/video]
I've still got a lot of work to do but I'm moving in the right direction.

I'm mostly done with the mechanical stuff. I probably need to quiet it down a bit.
[video=youtube;5JTLs6-pE-I]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JTLs6-pE-I&t=8s[/video]
Still got to tackle the body work.
What do you think?
Bill
Looks good KZQThumbUp
I like the turning radius.
Is that an adapted kit, or did you fab it from scratch?

Thanks Pete!
It's a DNA axle that I fitted to one of my KZ 750s. I designed and fabricated everything except the axle and the brakes.
Bill
I've made quite a lot of progress on the body work. I may be finished, not quite sure.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]43285[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]43286[/ATTACH]
Perhaps too late to ask but does any one have any appraisals as to how durable these DNA axles are?
Bill
nice job should be real fun to ride. no info on the dana

Tks Gorilla.Having had a kidney removal in the three years I was building this thing. I could have finished it much sooner. At least I was spared to finish it after all.
