Here's a bit of unsolicited investment advice Fuzzy.
Run out and take some stock in the Band-Aid co.
Skinned knuckles, cuts, abrasions etc.. is the price one pays for building a trike.
The first time I built it my hands looked like hamburger and I was beginning to question the loyalty of my dogs?

So Kewl ... been wondering how it was going ... probably don't need to tell you this ... but ... take your time and do the old gal proud ...
Indutatably!
I feel fortunate to get them home with no scratches.
They did a nice job and did it exactly the way it was before. It shouldn't be long before I have it on the road. Of course its 3 months to late!

Got allot done today.

I have the body sitting on the trike.
Still plenty to do but maybe 2 days time till the highway?

You might actually get a ride or two in before snow hits Paul.
The only reason some people are still alive is it's illegal to shoot them.

Suposed to be "warmer than normal" this winter in yer neck of the woods ... should be able to brake out the long johns and get in a ride or three.
Hmmmm ... don't forget to button the flap.
Im just lacking the travel trunk installation to finish.
I see my blinker lights don't want to work, It's always something!

A 3 MONTH NIGHTMARE IS OVER!
My old wolf is brand new and back on the prowl. I still need to get the clear plastic coating on the front trike fenders and put on the new emblems.
I got him right back to the way it was before except for a myriad of new parts and paint.
Check out the fork covers I put on it?
I have a new windshield and seats coming next week.
I am so damn tired right now and my chest hurts so I think I will just quit for today!

I sincerely hope I never have to build it again!

Great Job ... take a rest .. you've earned it ... it's great to see loyalty like you've shown ... most people, including myself, would of given up on him long ago
good job glad you can now ride after the rest

I will try and get some good pictures later Randy.
Right now im just too shot.
Doing a little nitro tonight to get everything in sync, Tomorrow will be a better day I expect though it's hard to beat just having it home and out of my buddies shop where I rebuilt it.
The ride home felt really good.
One thing is for sure it's done right cause I did it.
The only thing that isn't new on my 26 yr. old tour glide in the last 2 years is the transmission.
Did you get my message about the trees shipping?

A few of my friends here have asked to see some pictures of my newly rebuilt trike so here they are.
I wanted to put it back to what it was with some improvements, most would have to look hard to see the subtle differences, suffice it to say that everything on this trike is basically fresh and newly rebuilt within the last two years save for the transmission.
It has a brand new front end from the axle up. Even has a new windshield and crash bar, and I was able to find new cruising pegs the same as the old ones.
I made a center foot peg on the left side so I can get my crippled butt on/off easier.
I got the new clear plastic bra on the front trike fenders and intend to do some on the fairing and lowers.
I have a new seat and backrest covers compliments of Junes upholstery off e-bay for a great price also.
Beats buying a whole new seat for sure!
I tried to paint it as close to original as humanly possible.
One noticeable change is the upper front fork covers.
I had thought about completely blacking out the front forks but I like the way it looks now and am glad I didn't.
My friend would like to get a set for his tri-glide but you would have to take the forks off to do it.
If you click on the picture it may enlarge?
Doing all the mechanical work myself allowed me to come out ahead on the insurance money so I could add a few goodies and improvments.
A trick of the light makes it look like it has a scratch in the fairing.

I think a lot of the regulars were watching ball games this weekend or out riding before winter sets in, I know it was slower than normal here for a weekend.
OK my comment is, I hate you got nailed twice but have to say it looks better than ever! You did one hellofa job on the re-do buddy!

I'm just jealous cause I can't bring one back from the dead like that. So I tend not to even look cause it's depressing. Then too, how many times before a thumbs up becomes meaningless?

I think it looks great and you do real good work. Lots of time though away from riding this year though - like me.
It would only be better if you bought my 113" new (extra) motor to go in it!
Ride hard before the snow flies!
Paul, GREAT JOB!!!! Looks like New again. Lots of hard work, but a labor of love I'm sure.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body,
but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t
What a ride!
Thanks everyone, man it was allot of hard frustration and my refusal to hurry even though things didn't proceed as fast as I wished and my patience gets thin at times when waiting on parts and painters etc.
The most frustrating is waiting for and arguing with insurance company's. You sure as hell wouldn't have such a fight on your hands if were a car repair?
I still have to go to court in Nov. on an issue concerning being hit the second time, It seems they still don't think it's their fault even though I got nailed from behind a she got the citation?
It cost me this summers riding it sure feels good to have it on the road again

At this point I want to take time to recognize Ron, the owner of an obscure and not as yet very recognized motorcycle shop on N. Lincoln St. in Casper Wyoming. The guy knows what he's talking about!
Ron went out of his way to research, locate and procure the (new)vintage and obsolete parts my bike required.
he gave it priority when I needed some help and made things allot easier. He found parts that I had a struggle searching for myself.
If you can give him some business, He doesn't just focus on Harley Davidson.
Thanks to Zook for getting my new 9 degree raked triple tree to me asap!
Thanks to Straight lines body and paint for doing a nice job even though they weren't all that quick at getting it done, they treated me fairly.
Thanks to my old friend Ron Rainbolt for the use of his shop ( well supplied with needed tools) and his help when I need an extra hand.
Thanks to the Harley gods for smiling down on me after I was smitten down by the public fly swatters in their cages!
