hey mate that looks so nice where did you get the black plastics from (and would they be able to ship them to australia)i think your trike is gunna have a twin brother over here in aussie wink nice work

[R6XTERRA]

Thanks guys for the coments.....I am doing it to give everyone ideas on their air-cooled machines. I hope this inspires more people to restore them to whatever flavour they want.

Props are to everyone on this board...I have not asked many questions, but i have found most of the info i needed to know and when i didn't, just ask.

Mart - I am sure these guys will ship it. I used an 85 front fender and 83 rear fender. I bought them from James Lucky. www.jlatvproducts.com

John, Let me know whatever you need. I have been accumulating many progress pics. Before tear down and after. I will keep posting. I find pictures are worth 1000 words. (MINE LOOKS LIKE YOURS hehehe) I am doing the opposite of your rims. Silver hubs, Black rims.

[Beer_Smurf]

Looks like you are putting togather a sano package.
Good work.

Which handlebars are you using?
Do they fit properly in the wide clamps?

[Meat-BoX]

Where did you get that seat cover? It looks to be better made than the one I bought from E-Bay. :oops:

[ScottZJ]

Very very choice bra. One day I hope to get mine done and running then the looks would be next on it..........peace

[350Xccelerator]

amazing. i love all the black and the seat cover is awesome, and it looks alot better with the 85-86r front fender on there.

[mart]

i know it aint my trike and ive got no say but i think u should run gold rims it would look so good with all the black

[R6XTERRA]

Thanks guys.....

MEATbox[mHz, vartiak15,
I bought the cover & www.hi-flite.com My guy who installed the seat cover said they used top notch material. I did pay alot more than the ebay covers.....well worth it.

Beer_Smurf,
They are Tag handle bars. I got them from Royal dist. in Canada. They are exactly the same as my stock ones except the notches are out by just a bit. I snugged them up really good. They won't go anywhere.

350Xccelerator,
I agree about the 85-86 front fender (gives it the killer look).....thanks to you guys. I would have bought the 83 and even payed more.

mart,
I haven't painted my rims just yet, I will try the gold first....if I don't like it They will be going black with silver hubs. However, I will be buying a set of 10" ITP polished with a pair of Hoosiers or Razr's.
