Wheels are 15x8 True Spokes. Tires are 275/50R15 Nittos.

Dropped it off at the fabricators today. Here are some cardboard mock up photos.











He is going to do an original style frame cover/skirt around the bottom and punch some hot rod louvers in the tailgate. Should look cool.

 

Real bed won't be raked like the cardboard box even though I think it would look cool. Thats just the only we could get the cardboard to stay on the trike.

Here is an antique servi done in a similar fashion.

 

That's going to look real cool when it's done! I can actually see the vision in my head

 

What did you end up doing with the stock rear wheel off of your crossbones?

 

I'm going to be selling all the take off parts, probably on eBay so I get the most buck for the bang.

 

Well i dont know when you plan on selling them, but i would be very interested in the rear spoke for my night train. If you care to email me maybe we could work a price out OR you could just inform me when your ready to sell the wheel so i could bid on it. Chevy77@aol.com
Thanks

 

Excellent job keep us posted on progess. Are you going to change over to foot clutch and hand shift?

 

I plan on keeping the stock hand clutch/foot shift. I've had jockey shift on my old chopper and the can you dig it trike. The only reason I did it was to have clean bars as neither had a front brake or signals. Since I'll be using the stock front brake and switch housings there is no need for all that work just to loose the clutch lever.

Here is the bed so far:

 

Nice work, gonna look great once your finished.

 

Man that's so cool. Now for the tough question... What would it take for me to get the same bed made for mine? I would not want the louvers in the back though. I'd rather have the tail gate rolled like the sides on yours except with the rolls going inward all the way around. Mine was the inspiration for you and now yours is my inspiration. I'd consider doing the Lil Red Truck style theme from the early 80's Dodge Truck.

With the logo saying:



LIL RED
Harley Davidson
TRIKE

On the sides of the tank. Painted just like it is on the doors of the truck. Old S'KEWL style
