Historic Photo Needed.

[trike lady]

Does anyone have a historic photo of the very first Lehman trike made? At one time there was one at the Lehman site and it has vanished.

I believe this may be one of the first ones made. The body looks to be made of metal. Any Ideas?

1981 CB900 Honda using a Vega rear axle. (4x4" Vega)

His second was a 1984 Goldwing, after that most bodies were made of fiberglass.

They made many 1 off constructions and settled for the Ford Rear Axle.

Check the bolt pattern (4X4.25" Ford)

Some photos of the underside would help in determining if Lehman built this.

Thank you. It looks too 'Professional' for a home built. I will be returning to the Goldwing forum and asking the owner for underside pics.

When I saw that trike 3 or 4 years back it was at Champion facility in Garden Grove and it was White. It had a couple of big turnbuckles corner to corner to keep the rearend aligned. I was told then that John Lehman built that trike for his wife.

The owner found a decal inside the body and it was made by T&T Touring Florida.

Pics were posted on the Goldwing forum and here they are. Any ideas on what he has.

Don't know what it is, but pretty sure not Lehman, nothing about body or suspension or those hubs or the swing arm puts me in mind of anything I've seen from Lehman.

I found an entry on Bizapedia but can’t get it to post here. Their file number there is G55127. You might be able to get some more recent contact info that isn’t on the label on the trike.

They are like dust in the wind. Been gone for over 20 years. The kit was a no frills conversion for the 1000, 1100 and 1200 Goldwings. They started as a fiberglass molded body for trailers and later made simple trike kits for do-it-yourselfers. All that is left is the house that served as the office.:Shrug:
