Hi guys, been busy. I would like to give an update though, because I'd like to help other guys doing this same project using the DNA Trike Axel on a 1994 Harley Softail. Here's how I ended up running the brake lines:
And here are what the fakies look like on a chrome Cragar:
As I've said, I would have much rather had Cokers but the total cost for the wheels, tires, and fakies were less than what one wheel would have been with a Coker. And yes, those tires were mounted by hand, as well as the fakies.
And, last but not least, here is the raked stance. I absolutely love it. It looks mean.
Happy 4th fellow Patriots! God bless the USA, Cops and Firefighters. Godspeed.
WOW looks good Jeff

Here's what I've been up to yesterday and today. The brake lights are Model T style and turn signals are original to the bike. Held in place with construction adhesive. Still gotta wire it but looks cool.

Thank you sir. Got it fired up today! I could listen to this thing run for hours. It is just oozing testosterone and 'Merica. Yeah, I'm aware of the paint bubble by the speedo. Welding thin metal is hard, especially when you're too cheap to buy a bottle of shielding gas.
NICE !!!!!!!!!!

nice build.
most fenders, more for water spray, some Debri, most rear fenders on sports, start at top of tire.
tractor trailers, have to be within 8" of ground. I've seen the tractors only have flaps.
fenders to keep you from touching moving tires, would seem important, all belts needed gaurds, for passenger safety of there feet.
a set of low pro, tire hugging fenders, painted black, hard to see from far away, they won't hurt you re look. can't even see my front fender i would make a small set, just to get past inspection.
I love that red trike, you don't see those every day. Did you build it? I don't know if I've ever seen one quite like it.
I'm currently fabricating fenders using the metal from my old oil furnace. I'm a little worried about the 8" from the ground thing though, I took my cues from the fenders on the trailers at Tractor Supply. I have a lot of work into them already, I think I'll roll the dice. If they don't pass they're easily removable and I'll just make another set.
Here's one of the fenders I'm working on. I can't imagine the guy who inspects it will look at it and say, "Nope, not good enough". Maybe I should mount an axe handle to the frame to encourage cooperation.
