Howdy From Texas .... New Guy Here .... Building Custom Trike



Well just joined up .... I need to build a trike from things I have laying around. Not new to riding Bikes, but getting older, and I want to build a home-built trike. I look forward to a great time discussing this project, as I've found the Home built thread, already before I joined …. The photo above is what I want to do ….

Welcome to the Gang from Western Colorado. Have you ran registering a "homebuilt" by your DMV and Insuring it by you insurance company? Would really be bad to get it built then not be able to register or insure it.
