Post Your VW Trike Pics

[Free on 3]

I get alot of grief for going to a trike but don't really care. I think they are all jealous! This is my favorite combustion vehicle yet.

Hi, I am Yuichi Yoshida " RG.yoshi" from Japan.
I have made my own trike about 20 trikes since 10 years ago.
I made from Honda 50cc to Roth C Cab. And also I make trikes for my friends and I owned the garage ' Ryo's Garage' in Tokyo for my hobby.
There are the customers who wants to make the only one full customed trikes.

I would like to have many friends who love to make by your own and I am appreciated if you can leave any comments.

Thank you!

Because one year passed from production, I changed my image.

The feeling is the best when I run in TRIKE which changed the image!



Even a car show of Japan was popular!

Finally got my trike done, 12" over inverted wide glide frontend with a 21 " front wheel, rake is at 45 degrees plus frontend has a 6 degree rake in it, what a ride it is and handles great too, single seater.

[Trike]

Please see latest build pictures.

Frame in primer coat
Gear linkage sorted
Extended bell housing built with clutch mechanism and relocated starter motor
Suspension link arms built
Front forks (Harley Fat boy) and wheel

My previous pictures were mainly mocked up for design purposes. I am now at the dry build stage. No way can they fully fabricate a bike from start to finish in 10 days on biker build off.

Hope you like it.

Some more pictures with the engine in.

Here's a few pictures of my trike build to date. Trying to custom build as much as possible, including the forks, so it is taking a little longer than originally planned:
