That rake is so awesome!
I'm really looking forward to your carb prep tutorial; that's knowledge I've been seeking for awhile. What size is the front tire? Where did you find it?

The front is a 17inch. Was hard to find the white wall tyre was lucky they had some old stock

Is this planned to be for show or off road only? Just asking because I've worked on probably 100 or so trikes, and with that rake, and lack of a rear differential, it'll take some gorilla like arms to get that thing around a turn, especially on the street, unless you're planning on lifting a wheel. Most higher end trike kits decrease the rake closer to vertical, so that it has okay turn in.

Few pics of the new polished turbo sitting in place. Still waiting on tank to get final placement of everything but this is close to where it will all go.
Waiting on a m10x1.0 tape for the oil inlet of the turbo so once thst arrives i can mock up oil lines and check im getting sufficient oil flow round the system before welding up the oil tank. |

Oh man, I tried to figure out various combinations of letters, but I didn't think of dropping a letter. Honestly, the simplest things can escape me sometimes.

Hi all
A few updates for u. Been rather busy so havent had to much time to work on the trike. Have moved the bar one again, decided to build an lsd chain drive for the trike just for the hell of it also worked out i can fit a 190mm disk and caliper inside of my ten inch rims with 4mm of clearance so the trike will have twin rear disks in the near future. Um have got a 37mm air fuel gauge and matching boost gauge in the post just to make sure i can run this thing with out leaning out or over boosting. Um had a new front rim ordered but arrived damage so had to send back to get a replacement. What else, been drawing up my turbo flanges on the laser cutter at work and will b cutting them out of stainless steel in a few days, also have both my dump pipe and screamer pipe here waiting on the dump pipe flange. So sorry about the long time between updates and i just want to thank u all for sticking in there and following along on this journey with me. |

Rolled the trike outside to get a better look at the lines and make sure im heading in the right direction with it.
Straight away the head light stands out and needs to b tilted forward alot more to keep with the tank line. But all in all think most of it works. I forget how small it is till u have it down on its wheels Last edited by Nandor; 07-21-2019 at 05:54 AM. |
