Post Your VW Trike Pics

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

I get alot of grief for going to a trike but don't really care. I think they are all jealous! This is my favorite combustion vehicle yet.
 
Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

Hi, I am Yuichi Yoshida " RG.yoshi" from Japan.
I have made my own trike about 20 trikes since 10 years ago.
I made from Honda 50cc to Roth C Cab. And also I make trikes for my friends and I owned the garage ' Ryo's Garage' in Tokyo for my hobby.
There are the customers who wants to make the only one full customed trikes.

I would like to have many friends who love to make by your own and I am appreciated if you can leave any comments.

Thank you!

A change of the first year.

Because one year passed from production, I changed my image.

The feeling is the best when I run in TRIKE which changed the image!ThumbUp

Re: Post Your VW Trike Pictures HERE

Please see latest build pictures.

Frame in primer coat
Gear linkage sorted
Extended bell housing built with clutch mechanism and relocated starter motor
Suspension link arms built
Front forks (Harley Fat boy) and wheel

My previous pictures were mainly mocked up for design purposes. I am now at the dry build stage. No way can they fully fabricate a bike from start to finish in 10 days on biker build off.

Hope you like it.

Here's a few pictures of my trike build to date. Trying to custom build as much as possible, including the forks, so it is taking a little longer than originally planned:
