    Big Red Makeover

    I built this bike 7 years ago and have put more miles on it than I can even imagine. I decided since I am taking it to Rogers ride - I better give her a quick makeover. All new bearings seals on both axles and tapered bearings for the steering. All new cables for EVERYTHING - speedo kit - new exhaust (this machine has never had a stock exhaust on it - always cobbled together parts. Repainted frame and everything - new brakes - Maier fairing. Took me about 1.5 weeks - everyday working on it. I think it came out good and was well worth it. I just hope I remembered to tighten everything up on it for this big ride!

    Also - about a year ago I camo'ed it and put 12" wheels on it.

    With those tires/rims and colors, it looks WAY newer than an 80's trike. Looks like something new almost.
