Thanks everyone for following along and all the encouragement and suggestions. It helped me keep at it and get done.
You have built something special, one of a kind and a very eye catching .. that looks awesome. You should be proud, you had a vision, stuck to it and saw it through.
Not to be a "Debbie Downer", but, just throwing this out, does your state require clearance lights? After all this work, I'd hate to see you get a ticket the first ride.
My state requires them and is really a pain in the b$tt about them, especially on trailers, don't ask how I know. :AGGHH:
As far as I know we don't need clearance lights on motorcycles but I'll probably put some reflectors on the sides. I had some reflectors on the last build , it was more radical looking, and never had any trouble.
WOW it turned out super
Trying to keep the house safe, wow, time flew by me, this is just to awesome ! Very nice work along the way and the end results are just "awesome".
I am sorry too, I liked keeping tabs on the progress of this build. It was all very educational.
Just nice...………..
Hi, I'm back. I finally got some lettering done and on. I took it out of the basement for the first time and put some gas in it. Naturally the petcock thought it should leak when on reserve. I was able to take my wife for a ride around the yard but I'll have to tear the petcock apart and see what's going on.
A little history. First it started as a 1973 VW Beetle. Next around 1984 it became a trike.

I got a special construction title and plates and rode it for about a year then sold it to an old guy that never took it on the road. He put about 10 miles on it around his field then put it a barn for 20 years.
I bought it back as a rust ball and changed almost everything. I had learned some stuff in the 20 years.:D

I built pretty much everything, frame, front end, fiberglass body, fender, etc. It was in this form for 12 years and a lot of miles. Last September I blew out a tire sidewall and that was the start of the latest madness.

The letters 73VW4G are 1973 VW and 4th generation. The Kilroy Was Here is a nod to WWII. TP28 on the fenders for tire pressure. And the stars on the tank for the military.
Now hopefully it's on to enjoying it on the road.
Thanks everyone for following along.
