Hi Jon & Greetings from E.TN. I just checked in to see if Derrick had answered your post & thought I'd say Hi. I applaud your plan to build a trike that will fly as well as drive. Have you contacted Pete Dove for information & advice ?

Hi All, I'm back, I was given a project at work in March and have been working 7 days a week 10-12 hours a day till we finished end of Aug. So you don't say I've been sitting on my hands. The swing arm, caliper and bracket powder coated in glossy black. New bearings and seals in the swing arm. The rear shock was rebuilt, revalved and resprung(for American weight class). I bought an electric shifter made by Pingle. Hopefully it takes the place of the Kliktronic. The install will use the spare buttons I have on my steering wheel. I'll try to post as much as I can, but at work we are booked untill the end of 2017.    |

Oh yea,

Hi Derric, The swingarm gooks very smart in shiny black, also good to know the rear shock's now been re built with more damping to cope with the stiffer spring. Don't leave it so long next time.....  |

I finally found a place to install the nitrous bottle. There will be more weight up front, but the front is so light. What do you guys think?  |

That looks great - and the build looks nice. Am on the SouthTexas Rocket build, have not got as far as thinking about Nitrous yet, but I have an SVT VIN5 engine, so it should put out enough to get me on the road.

Does anyone have a Tr1ke in Northern Virginia/Washington DC area that is complete or being assembled? The kits looks great online, but it would be nice to get some local advice and maybe see one in person.
I appreciate any help
