    Default My Dream Trike!

    My dream is to Custom Build a Trike named "Long Haul", starting with a New Harley Davidson Freewheeler.

    For this Build I would be required to swap out the Seat & Trunk compartment of the Freewheeler with that of the Tri Glide® Ultra, since the trunk of the Freewheeler can not be accessed from the back, but from the top only, and the Tour Pack is also needed.

    Now what truly makes this Trike live up to it's name is the Custom Mounting of 2 empty 1/2 Barrel Beer Kegs, on each side of the Passenger Seat, by replacing the Passenger Grips with a stable mounting Rack for each Keg.

    The Tour Pack will house a 12 volt Fuel Transfer Pump w/hose & nozzle and it's own battery.

    So far, the 2 Kegs, holding 15.5 gallons of gas each, would increase Long Haul's Range almost 1300 miles, but they will also be adding 250 lbs. or more to the weight of the Trike. That's before packing anything for a long camping trip. Add a Tent, Sleeping Bag, Clothing, Cook Stove, Food for a day or two, etc.

    We're probably talking another 150 to 250 lbs. at least. Approximetly, 400 to 500 lbs of extra weight total.

    Thus I will also be swapping out the M8 114 for the much more powerful SE 135 as well as the Factory Transmission for the smoother shifting Baker DD 7 Transmission.

    Once all of these Modifications are completed "Long Haul" will be sent to the Paint Shop for a complete Custom Black w/ Gold Metal Flake Paint Job.

    Hauling an extra 30 gallons of fuel wouldn't bother me at all. Well maybe,I have learned a few lessons the hard way. Anyway post pictures when you have them. And good luck with your project.

    I added a piggyback gas tank (From Motion performance in Long Gallon they called it a Go Far Tank)..on top of the stock tank on my 71VW Beetle for a total of 21 gallons during the gas embargo 73..So I could drive into Manhattan 6 days a week… Had a few people asked me don’t you think it’s dangerous I said no more than the 10 gallons that’s in the stock tank to begin with…And you should have seen the look on the gas attendant when I pulled in low and the meter started reading past 15 gallons…They thought the tank had a hole in the bottom..😳😁..

    Thanks Sidecarbill, I have some .jpg's on my computer that I planned to include in this post but when I tried to upload them I recieved notification that this site identified them as mislabled .bmp's, and would not add them to the post. I am at a complete loss at how to correct this. Any Ideas will be Greatly Appreciated!

    Welcome to TrikeTalk. You can edit them in MS paint and save as a jpg and it will convert.

    I've tried running the pics through MS paint but still recieve this message when I try to upload them to the Post "This PNG image has the incorrect file extention" even though my computer identifies them as .jpg's, not PNG's!

    I'm still at a loss as to how to post images in posts...

    Could this be some kind of Windows 11 glitch or something?
