Default A project I'm building for my wife...

She wants to ride with me. She wants to go by herself on occasion. She loved my lowrider. She decided she wanted a trike, so I'm building her this. Thought I'd share a few pics. I went through the motor and trans, carb, ported the heads, Andrews cam and V&H pipes. Used House of colors Shimron, and candy, over black. Still needs a few small things, and I have not sanded and buffed the paint yet but it;s getting there...

I think that is the coolest trike I have seen. Doesn't look like a big old rolling Barcalounger rolling down the road. Very well done!

Great Job. She will love it. I built a trike for my wife using the Frankenstein kit on Her Softail.
