    Well you said you changed the set up on the blue one you are building. I was sure if you ran into a problem with other ones.
    If its on the internet its got to be true they can't put any lie's on the internet

    the setup change is just a different set of triple clamps .. the yellow one has been ridden quite a bit and am happy with the front,, the next two are the same, i just threw up some random pictures here in no real order ,,,, there are 3 of them built now .

    Are the triples custom or from another bike? They look really sharp and fun to ride. Good work!!!

    I was wondering the same about the triples. Are the triples and forks stock off the bike you converted? or custom?

    any year steel frame is what i been using,,, will probably do an aluminum frame,, the triples i have on this one ar from a vtx 1800 Honda... on the next one i will be using a setup custom built just for this application,,

    Are there any issues with sprocket alignment when doing that? Or does it fall into place like yamaha meant for there bikes to be converted into 3 wheelers ? Lol
