TheSamba.com :: View topic - I want your opinion on a "new" trike design

Wed Feb 21, 2007 4:59 pm

Just like the topic states, I am interested in your opinions of a trike we just got done building. It is currently being re-assembled after paint and powdercoating. Please no flamers about trikes in general. Thanks in advance.

Speaking as a total ignoramus concerning trikes, my first reaction when I saw the picture was "Wow!" Looks pretty impressive, at least the back end. Is the front going to get a little more dressed up?

It's kind of hard to see in the pics cuz it was cold and we were in a hurry to take the pics, but there is quite a bit up front. The only really open area is where the v-twin motor would sit. We are still working on some ideas for that open area. As soon as we get it back together, I will post some more detailed pics. Thanks for your input.

It looks like a really fast babe magnet, keep up the good work!

i'm really into trikes and i think it looks great. i have a couple suggestions. the fenders almost look like they are on backwards. also i think a chrome beer keg for a gas tank would really do it up. maybe a matching mini keg for a shifter.

if i owned that trike and anyone even tried to "flame" me, i'd drop her in reverse and run them over by accident. the last thing they'd see is my personalized license plate "2CRUNK4U"

btw, why don't this website have a trike category?

yer trike is sweet. I like how the mirrors are the same shape as the tail lights - nice attentions to detaile.

But I think the front looks too empty and the gas tank is fake right? You should make a little secret door on the front tank that opens and you could put stuff inside.

Thanks. I appreciate you noticing the shape alignments. The front tank is actually functional. I am still not sure if it will be hooked up upon completion. The paint and powder coating is done and we are reassembling it now. It should be back together by Sunday.

I have a trike, and yours is about one of the neatest I have seen very well thought out and just looks good,
The only thing I personally dont like it the upright exhaust

Cheers,

Fenders are on backwards. Will prob cause problems with police.
