    new dune edition 3 wheeler

    yep, its time to start on another trike for the invasion, i have acess to a machine shop now,, so i am going to step it up a little, i am building this for my daughter . so keep that in mind it will NOT be raced or moto-x'd , it will have a life of leisure in the dunes . so i won't do much with the motor,, in an effort to make it more comfortable i will be working on the suspension mainly,, i will do a dc conversion and run a battery , that way i can run a set of 12" led light bars so you can see at night,. so far i have taken a bare frame and started adding gussets, and a few new brackets,, i have already built the front suspension and am currently working on the front wheel aand hub, it will also include a speedometer just for fun. led lights in the rear and probably under it too.. here is a sneek peak of the wheel and hub,, oh yeah beadlocks all the way around!!

    cool idea, I thought of this about a year ago and never went thru with it due to it looking funny in my mind, but I commend you for going thru with it.

    i took a set of 10 inch quad wheels spun them on the lathe and took them apart, i left both center sections in the wheels to get close to the right width, and its double the strength too,, then i got a set of ltz400 front lonester hubs ,, and sanwiched the wheel between them,, i cut all the disc hub off the one side to make room for the speedo drive , it will be kind of cool to have an odometer (poor mans GPS)

    I love that front hub look. So modern. Awesome idea using the two hubs.

    That looks interesting. What kind of forks are those and where did you get the triples? I wish I could finish up mine before March. Good luck

    Looks wicked Kasey! You must have a good supply of VTX clamps and Aprilia forks!
