Rebel RT

Maybe make the nose come up to the top of the risers so that the top of the nose piece flows into the downward slope of the tank?

I know LarryA likes the high head light, I'm more of a in the middle kind of head light. I'd move the light up to the middle of the tape line and french it into the front fairing. It would be a bit more useful at night but yet give it the low look. Just my $0.02.

SORRY to be the bearer of that news.

Ted: I know there are laws in the Ca. vehicle code book (CVC) and I am just playing with different looks, I'll look again this weekend for my CVC book and if not I will head out to the DMV next week and wait in their DAMN long line and buy a new one which I should anyway for any changes not known to me. Did you see the pictures of my first trike in the VW section under #269. I love the working with foam and fiberglass just hate the sanding...

Headlight bracket

Headlight and bracket will move with the steering and not interfere with the nose piece AND not obstruct my road view, Ok, OK, OK, you will see when it's welded up, Ohhh! and the hole at the bottom will get a screen for air to the engine?EDIT: another Ohhh! can you see the wires hanging down from the signal lights, they are 3 wire, not 2 so I will have running lights with the headlight. EDIT Again: You can also see the lower frame rails opening where I would like to install running lights like I did in my custom made eScooter...

Tomy you are doing great work. I envy you and your ability to visualize then fabricate like you do. Keep it up it looks like it's going to be a great ride

Ride Heigth

Damn shocks are really soft and no adjust so I had to raise the frame from 4.5"-5" (damn it looked so cool) to 6.5" in the front and 6" in the rear.

Ride Height

Side view ride heightIt will sit a little lower with the weight of the engine and my 200 pound azz...

Nose Piece

I really like this nose piece and to my old hot rodding days no one has made it so I just might go with it and use driving lights low and on each side? The scoop would be great for engine cooling but that's where the steering is - or maybe on the sides? The shape of the grill reminds me of a skinny 35 ford grill?

 

[LarryA]

speedway might have a track T nose and grill.

Caliper

Caliper, I am looking at Harley, I have 1.5" from rotor (11.5" X .210) to swing arm...

 

[TomyJ]

Rear Caliper

Just might go with this one from DNA, but would like a chrome bracket and a red caliper (1" axle)...

surely u could make it work but might be easier to find one with a hole for a rod,,, rather than the slot for a bar...

Thank you Stace, BUT, I am learning so much about motorcycle parts and how they work in unison to other parts. After thought, IF that slot was angled towards the axle hole it would work (chain adjust movement) So I might be better off with a setup like a springer disc uses? or?

either way.. if you can find what you need either one id still go w the springer type then u dont have to be as fussy w the stop block and a little rotation will take care of chain adjustments

Nose art

Now you can see the side scoops I am building, The center is out 3" and tapers up and down to 0", So the vertical piece will be the screen and the sides maybe screen material also? (side grills?)more air in and out, The front will get a grill, long and skinny?
