Mud, this has been a labor of love. Now having it for this entire season, I think, why did I wait to do it? It completely changed up my motorcycling and made it all new again. With the surgeries and issues you've had this could be a viable option; it's ridiculous fun. I honestly don't feel any need to add a 2 wheeler; after all the growing pains and then all the incredible miles this season, I see myself staying on 3 wheels now.

Nice to hear the chain drive won't be an issue, I've considered that as a future mod. Still want a foot clutch and jockey shift; just 'cause.

Your ride is heavily modded and you're right; the exhaust will be your biggest issue. I was able to tweak my FuelMoto map with autotuning and the WinPV program and got a very nice result. Your engine build is well past mine and using a shortened exhaust like ShortShots isn't going to cut it. With the Frankenstein axle and the modified rear fork it makes things more difficult. But, that's why they call them customs, right? If anyone can figure out the workaround on the exhaust it will be you.

I too noticed Frankenstein's address

If you have any questions or need detailed images just shout out. Oh, and a word of warning; trike your ride, and you'll draw a crowd.


Edited to add: Make a post, add some images Bike night; I never got more than 10 feet away from the bike; thankfully the Lady was there to bring me beverage reinforcements...

How did you make out with the issues you were having? Have you solved them? I am sure many are awaiting your results
Thanks

Grabbed a few new images after I got home from today's ride; cold, but got in just over 300 miles. Frozen cold by the end, but it was a good day. Time is drawing short on this season; then time for the recap on the year...

 

trike looks great. What did you do to solve the problem you were having? I see you have shocks on it. Did struts not work out?
