    Who came up with what?

    Ever since Blazer built his custom 350x........I was hooked on custom trikes.
    I know modifing atc's has been around since they were new. But I think members here have come up with original ideas too. Some may think they came up with a twist by spending hours of thinking about any one particular area of a trike. Maybe not? I just wonder if its been done before.
    I think credit goes to many including blazer, chainsaw, kasey, derrick, speedbump, ronnie ectt...
    I think blazers simple matching fork paint scheme is a great idea. I see he's done that a number of times and Its a great idea.


    Some ideas may be small, others ground breaking. I like to think I've done a few. But its a big world.

    I like to two-tone front fenders and paint the underside of rear fenders. Then came up with a stainless vented head light. I seen double wide pegs on a blaster,they worked for a atc too. Polished rib front hub. Milling alum. handlebar clamp pieces. Clear sided air box and strenthed 86 350x rear wheels. Jeweling rear grab bar fuel cap. Switching up fenders and fabbing one of a kind seats. Its lots of fun, some done before and credit to them. Still fun to think of new things.

    I like kaseys atc 70 cut-out hubs, derricks fork boots, chainsaws all black trike and 3-d graphics. Speedbumps cr/atc conversion, ronnies custom componets, ectt......

    What have you came up with? Thanks

    I like to mix custom with the OEM look. Like my new seat with the flames but still has the OEM looking stenciled logos. My decals are just like OEM but the colors are custom to match the rest of the trike. I might be the first person to have custom fork boot covers made to perfectly match the custom seat but I stole the fork boot cover idea from Derrick Adams so that might DQ me.

    whiner

    I'm the Whiner who pestered AussieDunner and everyone else here for the last few years, trying to get a Vented # plate for the Fat Front 84-85 Tecate
    Big Green and Mik6 sent theirs to Aussie to copy so I guess everyone can say thx to the Meaty One for his years of dedication and finally getting that one super rare piece for the front of their Fat and Skinny Front end Trikes.
    Other than that my Tecate is pretty unoriginal and needs a major upgrade.

    I think it's cool that trike owners pump out different versions of "this and that"

    Many times I've seen things that people do to modify a 3 wheeler ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i.e.. LBC's with "shaggy dice" to the extreme..

    the only other vehicle I can think of is the "Volkswagon Bug" inwhich you would find a variety and extreme outragious lengths owner will go to, to make it "One of a Kind" .......think about it....

    This is why I keep comin back to this site....everyone has great, original, and functional ideas. This is one of the best places to brainstorm and daydream all at the same time.

    Innovative ideas while building is half the fun for me. When i'm staring at my bike I like to think out of the box. "What would Troll do?" lol

    Aside from the shock covers on the Z, I think i'm the only one to mate CR500 suspension to a 250R. LOTS more coming on this winters projects.
