It took me about 2 months to get this far as I could not do it at home so I did it at work during breaks, lunch, and coming in early, staying late.

I ordered handle bar risers after my 1st test ride in the parking lot. My arms are way too short!

The seat is all me, 100% original concept and design. Its so freakin' cool! I can share the info if you want.

I bought a used set of cut down cobra pipes that were ceramic coated, WAY TOO LOUD!  Crazy loud.. I made a set of baffles, wrapped them in glass packing, drilled holes in the rear of each pipe to secure them. It is 100% puuurrrrfect. Very quiet at idle and easy riding but when you crack the throttle, its awesome!

I raked it 6 degrees, cut my own fender, used a VTX up front..

I just have to finish my LED turn signals and such.. What do you think?

Very Cool!  Looks fast. Better be hanging on when you twist the throttle. The pipes look really good on the bike.

   very nice!

Looks good.       

 To give it a 6 degree rake did you buy an aftermarket triple tree or modify a stock one or cut and re-weld the frame ? I have heard of changing the rake on a trike but never asked how they did it.  Thanks for any info.

Aftermarket kit that cost 650 it's kind of a pain in the butt to do it by yourself just have a buddy help you out

Black pipes make them look less obvious. Nice.

Please make sure rear lights are so bright/obvious that no one rear ends you.

I would like to know about that VTX fender, is it a direct bolt on?
If not what did you have to do to make it work/
Nice looking!

Well Done! Since you have LED's in the back, top it off with an LED DayMaker up front to give it a modern look.

[ I had to buy VTX fender brakets, line them up, and drill 1 extra hole for the fender to work, easy...]

Very nice looking bike. A work of art I'd say. Nothing like the satisfaction of riding a machine you've put your heart and soul into. Great job!
