Jonesy, Pete has the fenders, it was where he attached them to his home made trike that failed.
Pete needs to reengineer the brace placement so it doesn't receive vibrations.
Pete did an excellent job making his trike.

Thanks for the, Rosy!
Jonesy, Thanks for the tip.
I actually bought 2 trailer fenders from Tractor Supply, & then proceeded to butcher them beyond all reasonable & further use when I was building it.
After that I found a couple of Softail "bobbed" rear fenders that I really liked, which I modified to use.
I initially constructed the braces/mounting brackets in the wrong location on the rear swing arms. Unfortunately, that improper location ended up being subject to way too much vibration.
I should have known that, but the way the fenders hugged the tires in that particular spot was appealing to me & I erred in going that route.
I've been pretty lucky in that not much else has failed from my lack of engineering education/experience, (feverishly knocking on wood!).
I'm determined to get the fenders re mounted before the snow flies around here. That way if the winter gets too much to deal with, I can throw my travel bag on the trike & head south!
Way to go Pete, see you at The Snowbird Rally if you get sick & tired of the snow! LOL
Hope your reegineering goes well!

We are headed to NM for the Holidays, come back to NH in January, head to the Snowbird Rally and our rental in late January.
We will be in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. All our Friends from past Rallies will be there & maybe make new Friends this year.
Our Floridian Friends should show us new sites this year as we explore Florida on different rides.
Coming down?
Rosy
wishing you safe travels. I wont' be going to Florida for the snow birds gathering. I'm planning a couple trips for later in the year which will take up my vacation time.
Safe travels in All your endeavors! We are sure you will have a good time.

Hey NH Trikers, we will be hosting the Northeast Rally this year in Dover.
Please, give me a shout if you are planning on attending.
Thanks.
Rosy

Hey neighbor, you are more than Welcome. Don't tell anybody, but I do have some good friends in Mass!
Come join us.

Merry Christmas NH Trikers! If you travel today, please, be safe! Enjoy the Holiday with Family!

Got the trike out and took my first ride ever on Christmas Day! It was 51 degrees and still now snow.
In Youth you Learn. In Age you Understand. Now if I could just remember what I learned.:xzqxz:
That's great, enjoy every minute of this warm weather, because, in NH, you never know when nature will turn Nasty!
Rosy
Please don't forget, NH is hosting the Northeast Rally this year.
If you can, come join us, this August to meet fellow Trikers from other parts of the USA. It should be fun!

Very nice Rosy, but can I get one with a Venture instead of a GW??
I think you should sign me up! I love the red shirt, goes with my Hannigan. What do we do to get onboard with this?

Thank you very much. I had fun developing the patch, but everybody who owns different types of trikes wanted their trike on the logo..LOL
There is nothing to do, just be there at some point while we do runs, throughout the state, or meet with us when we have a meet and greet. Just stay posted to the NH site.
The " club" is just starting..no bylaws..no officers...just something to do in the summer time...
