Parts laid out on the jig table so i can start working out a few dimensions. The jig table has another 5 ft section to be fitted to it at the end closest to the camera in the wide shots of the front of the engine.
I've had the trike back out to take pictures from a few different angles so I can use them to look at the lines on the trike. I'll print a few off and borrow the wife's crayons (yes she has her own crayons) and do a bit of doodling to see what looks best before I do much more in respect of body panels.
Steering wheel set up. My steering wheel fitted with Kliktronic paddles, a button for the horn and a switch for the indicators. I still have to get a high/low beam switch fitted with a new cable and socket to accomodate all of the switch gear I need on the wheel. With the back injury the less I have to reach for switches etc will make it a lot easier to ber safe without causing any additional discomfort and allow me to have as much pain free fun as possible.
My previous trike builds. The first a little reliant I built with a mate, I learned a lot putting this together. My gorgeous GSXR 750 WP, I rebuilt this bike after getting it from a mate in a very sorry state. I had John Weaver build a trike back end for it when I couldn't ride it anymore. It ruined a perfectly good sportsbike and turned it into a beast of a trike. Eventually I had to give up riding with handle bars due to a back injury and thats what inspired the RT build.
