Thanks mate. I posted a thread about it in General Discussion, but not everyone reads every section.
May possibly have a buyer for Taz's trike.

I really hope we will find out how the trike turns out. I for one found a lot of helpful information and heaps of inspiration in this thread and would be saddened if this just vanished into the either

One of the reasons I sold it to a workmate -I'd like to see how it turns out too.
Hopefully Bob, the new owner, will join up here soon so you can nag him to get on with it. He says he'd like to get it registered & on the road for the Spring.

-don't worry, I haven't started another project! In the absence of a new trike build thread from Baychimp, the new owner of my unfinished Reliant trike project, I thought I'd post these photos here. Mr Baychimp is one of my workmates, Bob. It's been almost a year since he bought the trike & he's just starting to make some progress with it -come on Bob, hurry up & finish it!  He's just had the whole exhaust system chrome plated by a company called Silverbronze in Alton, Hants. I had my motorcycle exhausts done at the same time & they cost us £175 each. Very nice mate. |

Not yet, I wouldn't want to get them dirty. In fact I might go out and buy rough old system and just hang those bits on the garage wall. |

I assume you jest, but I know someone who something very similar when our club did a bike showe and run - after the show he put his 400/4 in his van and took it home to change the exhaust before the run cos he didn't want to blue his shiny one!

Surprised he rides at all then. Bob. Are we going to see a new thread soon? Perhaps- Manky's old trike or Baychimp's Reliant trike. |

Definitely Baychimp's Reliant now.
I believe the next job is to get the steering stop pin welded to the headstock -I made a stainless screw in pin, but the hole isn't deep enough & the threads have stretched from having the forks dropped against it. So Bob's looking for a means of getting the trike to a welder, or getting a welder to the trike.
Needs wiring then going over with the MSVA manual in hand & modifying anything that won't pass, like the rear lights that are too low at the moment.
