Resurrecting an old thread to add my new tattoo to the list. I got my first one last night. Here is the picture I gave the artist and the end result. The picture is the view from my deerstand.

Comments on Frankenstein Trikes and Better Pictures
The sun is back out, the trike is done, and all is well. Below are a couple of better pictures, but I wanted add a few comments about the guys at Frankenstein Trikes.
I am very happy with the trike kit and had a lot of fun putting it...
This is Duke and my two daughters (Dolores and Joanna). It was taken not long before he left us in 2014. He was a fine dog and 11 years old isn't a bad lifespan for a great dane.
We got him when my youngest was 3 years old. Duke is the dog that taught Joanna to not be afraid of dogs. He...
Ok, here is my buddy Otis. He is almost 1.5 years old, so he has some growing room left. He is currently about 32 inches tall at the shoulder and about 155 lbs. The picture of him with me in the chair is from February, when he was 11 months old.
So far so good, but it is still raining....

Fenders installed today
Harvey continues to dump water on us, but so far my house is dry and the power is on.

I finally have fenders
I went by Wednesday and explained to the manager that I was going to pick up my fenders Friday. I told him he had two options
1. Have them done and do a decent job, or
2. Give me a full refund and I would take them home and paint them myself
Surprise, surprise, they...
Thanks.
For the belt, you tighten it to factory specs using tensioners on both sides of the swingarm.
I was careful to make sure my belts rides centered on the drive pulley. The tensioner on the belt side (left) is shown in the picture.
Rode it today
I got to work on the trike today. I bled the brakes, installed the exhaust, adjusted the belt tension and rode it around the neighborhood. I hadn't installed the triple tree, but wanted to compare before and after the triple tree installation. It rode pretty well.
Then I...
