GWS SPECIAL RT Build

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.

Dutton 1600 Mexico. I still miss this little car. Rough as, but so much fun to drive. 100 bhp and a live axle makes for some interesting handling in the twisty bits. If my trike is anything like as much fun to own and drive I'll be over the moon.

Various stages of the chassis build. You may notice some pictures with a rough CBR 600 that when sold on almost covered the cost of the 955i and sold for twice what it had cost me. The parts that i am not using from the 955i will also be sold eventually to recoup some of my outlay. The 955i clocks have now been upgraded to a Koso Digital dash

Bits and bobs. Some of the parts I'm using on the trike.                                                       Escort Mk V Steering column Locost Wishbone kit Wilwood Brake kit Rally Design alloy Uprights with stainless top hats 2rike seats and headrests Momo wheel with quick release and Kliktronic paddles and switch gear.

Chassis Build Pictures It's constructed from 25mm box section , 32mm tube and various thicknesses of steel plate. I used Lowcost plans for the front suspension and mounting points. The alloy uprights, spindles, Gaz shocks and the Wilwood calipers are from Rally Design https://www.rallydesign.co.uk . You can see the rest of the chassis in the following pictures. My mate James who has done the bulk of the welding is trying it for size. The roll over hoops are from a Porsche, it's cut and shut to suit. The 955i was an absolute bargain for £450-00, it's a runner and sounds sweet. it'll sound great with the can I have in mind for it. I'll be posting a few more pictures over the weekend with some more information about the parts i'm using, why i'm using them and the adventures with foam and GRP. Two years in and about half way done.
