my trike nerly there,

[shaun20]

hi chaps, dam has this forum changed sins the last time i was in took me ages to sus it out, :rolleyes: any way i thought id give you a up date on my build sory cant find any old threads to go to so had to stat a new one. thanks to the person that put the disk brake conversion up, it was used to do mine although the gti brake calipers are getting harder to find so i opted for the 20l gti k reg car for the bits, and new Nova disk looks good but unable to test out properly.
I'm having a bit of a dilemma with the hand break, do any one know what the dash pull type is from that i spot-ed a few months ago in a mag.:thumbsu:
one other thing can yu spot the oil drums, lol

[Nik]

Looks interesting. :)

[shaun20]

Looks interesting. :)

is that a good thing or a bad thing as i dont know how to take that lol:)
its a buzy trike,

[devon-tony]

interesting :)

not sure if I like it but I can see and appreciate all the work thats gone into it, always difficult to judge things when they unfinished etc

one thing is that you might have a problem with them footpegs on MSVA the roller might find them to be dangerous?? but no doubt someone more experienced than I will advise

yes good piont on the pegs, i have found that my feet stick beter than the rubber ones, remebering that the pegs on a normal ride position bike are not forward, but i dout the bods at the mvsa will see that.:confused:

Handbrake part? :confused:

[matthewmosse]

The chap who does trike teck mentioned I think pionty hat customs or something like that as having developed a handbrake that pulls up tight by pulling up on a t handle sticking out of a tube, if memory serves me correctly than it was jag derived but took some modification. Renault masters also use dash mounted handbrakes.:thumbu:

Trike in latest issue has a mechanical caliper from a small Honda attached to a lockable lever - doesn't look out of place at all. :)

Or you could go for a very bling Trigger one - http://www.triggerhandbrakes.com/

This year's copy? :confused:

The new one is in the shops now.

[shaun20]

shops i was under imprestion it was mail order only, i mist jans copy( mounth)

[matthewmosse]

Hmm, I don't get trike cos I probably spend too much on magazines already:o and the three wheeler Slowly taking shape in the shed is very much not what trike would feature methinks. I'm into old style as in really old, and am up to morgan inspired bodgery:D trouble is no mags really cater for this kinda thing cos It aint a car or bike. 100% is the only mag I know of that has shed head type stuff rather than 'ask your kit manufacturer' or 'go see a pro to get it made' the fun is figuring stuff out a and creating something unique myself, preferably using scrap. This trike on these pages is to me inpirational. Real back street engineering, Proper customising, spring to mind. looks like it will be absolutely cool when finished. Pretty cool now:thumbu::thumbsu:
Ps would that be a cb125 superdream caliper refered to as a small honda one? got one of them calipers in the shed.........

[Nik]

No, mate, comes out four times a year in shops. :)

How do you know that if you don't read the magazine? :confused:

im tacking a stab in the dark and saying you are building a morgon relica fromn a 2cv,
you should be in avertising as you have just sold the mag to me with them words, :thumbsu:

[matthewmosse]

Shaun20, PMSL, No, not a blloody 2cv in sight, morgans had a v twin though I know the kinda thing you mean:D so far ntv600 engine, which I'm figuring out how to put drive at 90degrees to current format, should be an easy job, wheels are 40's sidecar items and frame is home made one off as are steering uprights. Only car bit's steering rack:rolleyes: In it's eary stages at the mo...
Nik, you must have a bad memory, trike was given away free with 100% in the beggining, not to mention I've bought almost every copy of %biker for years and am fairly familiar with what genrally features:thumbsu: says a lot for a tight wad like me to stick with 100% I could be wrong about the type of 3 wheeler featured in trike but best pm me with the relevant back issue number if I'm not. I wouldn't like trike to loose a sale if it were admitted car cycles appeared in there:thumbsu:

No, mate, not a bad memory - just didn't read it then. :)

We've run plenty of car trike features, mate, and will run anything three-wheeled if it's interesting - anything and everything from V12 Jags to 1897 three-wheelers (just shot a rat Reliant last week). :)

[shaun20]

stuff to do' plum up the new calipers and do the foot pegs, then the big strip down and tidy the welding up, and paint, bit stuck with some of that , the tank will probably go to ridler, (cornish exile triker bloke, body works) can't afford the rest to be dun so will do that my self. were can i get the old school paint from not this water stuff. single pak

[dubmeister]

If you want to buy multiple items of them on ebay mail them and they will combine the postage
They deliver quickly too

[shaun20]

thanks for that, i will give them a bell for there ebay shop code so i can look in to this further.
i can get the primer and the thinners over the counter but they will not sell the paint and clear cote,:rolleyes:, whats happaning to this country.

[dubmeister]

If your going for standardish colours ie gloss black(yuk) or post office red ,yellow ,or whites etc they are about a tenner a litre for two pack
Do loads of deals for lacquer ,hardener,etc which work out cheaper too:thumbsu:

[shaun20]

yup, black. you would not by any chance have a ebay code i can typ in feeling a bit lazy,, and would keep the phone bill cheeper, keep her off my case as well. plaese, if not 'not to wory.
thanks for your help:thumbsu:

[dubmeister]

Haven't got the shop code (and wouldn't know where to look) but if you go on ebay and put a search for tango orange 2k candy it will bring up one of the items he sells and the link to the shop is there
His user name is hugspaint if that helps any

[dubmeister]

The item number for the paint above is 260294472388 if it makes it any quicker for you and saves you expending any more energy than is absolutely necessary;)

[shaun20]

[dubmeister]

I have used the gloss black they do for £9.99 and it goes on well and you dont have to use loads to get good coverage ,used it on the frame of my z1300 trike and painted the main bodywork on the shortened wheely vw pickup i had and it stood the test of time really well:thumbsu:

[shaun20]

[shaun20]
