Post Your Home Built Trike Pics

Back on build after three years!

I got tired of walking around this thing so I'm going to finish it. I'm working on a Leading Link with Dual Wheels. It is together enough to try steering (not moving). More effort than I thought, can't wait to see what happens rolling. Checks out to 2 3/8" Trail and about 5 1/2" between contact patch centers on the tires.

My thinking is to start here and narrow the width to use a car wheel if this doesn't work out. I may reduce the Trail some more. This was a less expensive way to start, second wheel, $15 + shipping off eBay and I'll use the GW brakes and speedometer. Also using the GW rear shocks. Any input will be appreciated.

Reverse Trike

Started on this one, let's see how close I can get to the actual drawing, working on my frame drawings now, ordered the tires for attitude and bought the doner bike.

This will NOT be the actual frame.
 
Not 'homebuilt' in the same sense as some of the others. Bought a used Motor Trike Trog kit that had been wrecked. Did the repairs and paint myself (first time for finished 'glass work) and converted my '02 Glide Classic. I also installed a mechanical reverse.

Wow, really nice looking ride Steve, the red and black paint scheme make it pop, congrats.
 
Big V8 trikes around Santa Fe, MX

A couple of years ago we visited Santa Fe and met several local riders/builders of these big boys. Anyone else see them?
