All the different parts of it that Floyd made himself are awesome, but
I am blown away by the way he made the rear fenders...

looks awesome, very clean lines for sure.

I like the old school mag rims and is it my imagination, or are those rear tires very, very wide and bigger than normal?

Can't tell but I assume it's a straight axle and not independent rear suspension?

That is a great looking machine Floyd.  You should put up the series of pictures from the build, that will impress the hell out of everybody.

Have you looked at the Yooper ride that Gig is putting together?

We need spring to come so we can go for a ride.

Also I like the way you cut the pods so you could see all six of the velocity stacks

You have a real talent.

Wonder what the hose or wire is going towards the back reaching under the front seat?

It seems to go to where the rear brake pedal mechanism is, perhaps that hose or wire
leads off to where it works the trike's rear brakes?

Yes it is, I like it and made it this way on purpose, I wanted it old school and its a blast to ride.

Hey Oss, if your talking about second picture its the wires to the trunk, I just sat the trunk on there getting the feel to see what it looked like, I used the factory brake line on left side to run to rear brakes,
