iBorg Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I like where this is going..... Scroll down for one of the most famous trikes of the 70's. https://selvedgeyard.com/2010/03/25/buddy-miles-the-band-of-gypsys-funky-badass-mother-drummer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Yea Buddy’s trike is cool trying to stick with late 60s early 70s look for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Been playing around with this between other builds Decided to go with the bigger front wheel and tire gettin the rear axle sorted and rear brakes setup decided to go with the longer tank Comments welcomed some times extra eyes gives better ideas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Improved. Very nicely proportioned. I'd like to see more engine in there. Appears to be a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I like what your doing here. The 21" front wheel looks better, but a smaller tank, like a Sportster style might make things appear better.

Vettegasser Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 Ok how bout this tank maybe reduce the height of it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Leaning towards something like this only with a springer Edited April 27, 2021 by Vettegasser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Yeah, I like the look of the smaller tank. I think lowering the height of the tank would give it a better look. I'm enjoying building the bike kits that I have. I may have to convert one to a trike myself. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Been playing around with this. Bent up a set of handle bars added some more to engine on the tank I liked the look of both so I combined them took the short fat one and added the tail piece from the long one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 This is looking really nice. I like the springer front a lot.. Maybe you can drop the front of the tank a little bit. I've been wanting to build a trike also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 did you complete the trike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Not yet still playin around with it I moved the rear axle forward and lowered the rear some went back with the smaller front tire just gives it that more 70s vibe I was aiming for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vettegasser Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Thanks all I been picking at it. Nothing noteworthy to post. Been trying to work out some sort of body or just do a king queen seat. Been drawing up stuff and cutting in paper to see if I can come up with something I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
