Re: Honda GoldWing Gl1500 Custom Built Trike
I've been posting the GL1500 Trike build on this site below, before I found this Trike Forum.
:blush:Just hit 10,000 views on it.
There are 3 of us building Trikes
1 Using a Kit
1 using Ford rear end & sheet metal body
Me using Miata IRS & fiberglass
The 3 of us are right on top of the "Goldwing Technical Forum"

+1 Me too. I don't care how long a sleeve you wear or how you cover your head that dust finds its way into evey pore it feels like.

If you rub your arms and neck down before being exposed to the fiberglass dust you don't itch and the dust showers away easily.

There is a cream you can use that washes off in the shower.
I take a cold then hot shower to open & close the pores.
Wash your clothe by them self's, & undress in the basement or you will have little white hair all over the place & will checking you head in the mirror.

That's good to know. Where do you get that cream? Body work supply places? Cat doesn't use much fiberglass & I guess I lucked out with the truck tractor cabs in only having to work on aluminum. 'Course, then have to deal with the zinc chromate primer. Been a while since I did truck work - may be something better out now that doesn't kill the lungs. That kinda tells how long it's been, huh? Respirators back then were a luxury & not mandated like today.

After 18 years as an auto mech., working in fiberglass boat shop & all of the other thing that are now hazards to you, guess I'm lucky to still be alive. But then again I would still eat eggs.
The cream was white & supplied by the boat shop. Don't remember the name but it worked unless you sweated.
Maybe fiberglass supplier may have a lead on it.

You certainly are multi-talented being able to do all the mechanical and body work. I have enjoyed following your progress and look forward to seeing the finished project.

WoW Skip I can't believe all the work you are doing. That wax job is great. Having made a few molds I can appreciate all the work that was involved to make it look that good. Keep the pictures coming. On such a dreary day they are great!

Working with fiberglass myself in the past I can really see your hard work. BTW that yellow car in the background is that a Fiberbab Bradsy GT. are you going to be producing the trikes for sale ?
