Zero Trike Build
More than I can tell my wife :Dorag: Andrey is not bad really. The fenders were ~$900 each. (Yes that is WAAAAY more expensive than V-Twin replicas, but they did not fit the trike and were not what I was looking for) I am just about in year two of this build and budget does make it a slow...- Free Bird

Zero Trike Build
Yes, thought that would be a good way to improve draining for an oil change. I have not found exactly the right devise yet, but am looking. Something like this...only larger PS... all the visible parts will be nickel plated or black powdercoat- Free Bird

Zero Trike Build
I came across a couple of Lunkenheimer No. 8 Hit/Miss Engine oilers on eBay a few weeks ago I thought they would make a cool oil tank. So I bought them and started playing around with them. I have to replace the cork seals with Viton rings, and make a manifold for the inbound and outbound...- Free Bird

The fenders are progressing.... about 3/4 there. The tail will hinge (like the hardtail knucks and pans) at the edge sitting on the chair. They will have about a 270 degree wrap around the rear tires- Free Bird

I fab'd a pair of replicas of the OEM Knuckle Brake Pedal. One left for the clutch, One right for the brake. You can see the rather used and abused OEM part I used as a pattern here. I left a lot of extra room at the bottom to marry it to a pair of Twisted Choppers forward controls...- Free Bird

The saddle is in work too (See Mr. Twister was not foolin you) The one on the left was the saddle I started with, the one in the middle is the style and color of the recover, the one on the right shows the back rest the saddle maker is building into it. And yes Jack.... I figured out the...- Free Bird

I also got some 3D Printed inserts for a pair of 1914-25 Footboards with the "Hardly Davidson" graphic from the tank decal (below is the concept I sent to the 3D printer guy...still waiting for them to come back) and a reproduction set of footboard extensions for the period to give the the leg...- Free Bird

I got all the parts puled together for a 1937 "Skull" dash instrument panel as well. Believe it or not, the original 2000 FXSTS Speedo fits perfectly into the dash. I could not believe the MoCo left some dimension out of their engineered obsolescence program :Dorag: (Don't tell them...- Free Bird

Zero Trike Build
Lighting has been a fun effort. Like I said earlier, I am not really building Zero trike anymore, rather it is more a competition version of a Harley Servicar tribute bike. I started calling it a "Brooklands" Servicar after the racetrack in the UK. It ran a lot of classic bike races and...- Free Bird

The tank is a stretch flatside softail tank with a total (L and R Side) capacity of about 6 gallons I am adding a smooth side shifter gate from a 36...- Free Bird

Lost my brakes at 65 MPH....
Thanks Jack, I have been thinking heat is the issue as well. But I was thinking about the rear calipers working extra duty to stop all of the trike's mass all the time. Never thought of pipe proximity to the master cylinder. Here is my setup: Here is the stock system They look really...- Free Bird

Well I finally got the trike to the chop shop yesterday for the frame mods and chassis work. I took the trike and a pick-up full of parts to Just Hawgs in St. Louis. Great "Old School" shop. We will cut out the backbone and replace it with round tube for locating the stretched fatbob...- Free Bird
