Have any thoughts or advice? I started with a frame my father gave me in 2006. |

Really cool, looks good.
Not much trike conversation going on here at Samba.
But when/if you need help tuning those dual carbs and such the guys here in Performance Engine can be a big help.
Make sure your trail is right.
You do have the "idiot light" load on the alternator so it will charge?
I will no longer ride without fenders. Maybe I am just old, but dont want to eat the dirt anymore.
Keep the air filters clean and oiled as they will get a lot of dirt thrown around their area.
Put enough weight on the front tire, even if you must add ballast, so you can do a panic maneuver.
Even though it may seem drivable, if you ever get in a bind.....say someone pulls out in front of you and you need to dart to the other lane quickly.....it is scary as all heck when the front just skips and skids. _________________

Just an FYI, you can remove that tin behind the crank pulley for a cleaner look. |

Thanks for the input. I made fenders for the back. And I have one for the front. I've been driving this trike for 10 yrs now just recently went through another rebuilding. Im uploading more photos of this build. |

Very cool re-build. I love the craftsmanship of the tank cover.

Looking good. Just and FYI, those transparent distributor caps are crap, and often arc and crack inside. |
