What have you done for me lately?
Well I have posted pics of my trike up here before so now I'll bring you up to date on some of the modifications. First of all my friend (and co-worker) and I have spent some time on the electrical system. The original trike kit was fine and the installation was very well done but some of the add-ons over the past several years have began to "trip" over themselves under the tupperware. So, we started by attempting to seperate some of them and making sure they are all fused. Done!
Next, we moved the upper trunk back by two inches. Found a rather nice kit on Ebay for a fair price. Ordered it and during the install we had to extend the wiring (again
) to make it all work. After we re-drilled a couple of holes and fiddled around for a day or so, we were done and all was well! Almost .....
When looking at the trike from the side, either side, I could see where the top trunk was sitting back further than the lower trunk. My wife says I'm the only one who would EVER notice that.
And perhaps that is correct but notice or not it has to be addressed.
(Says me). So .....
Here is a shot of it as it was with just a molding.
And here is a shot of the new bumper. It is all custom made starting with a piece of steel, some lights and some wire and a lot of time.
And as you can see, the rear of the bike looks like it was supposed to look with just the additional distance the rear bumper adds.
and I really REALLY like the lighted wings on the rear center. The LED lights in the wings are running lights, turn signals and brake lights.
Took a lot of time but it was all for a good cause. Let me know what you think.
