Cuddles Trike Re Furb

[zakboy]

hi cabman just checked out your pic of frame to axle mounting point looks diffrent and very practical,may use this type of mounting point for my swing arm version rear frame hope you don't mind matey.  

[Cabman77]

not my design so knock yourself out. I do feel that it sits the back end up a bit high and have wondered what it would be like slung underneath the axle.

Just a short update coz i`ve been busy doing all sorts. I`ve just become an area co ordinator for the charity Afghan Heroes, and I`m on the committee for the East Anglia D DayMemorial Run, I`ve just started organising a charity bike show on southend pier for july 2012 (yes you do have to start these things that far in advance) and saturday I was up at Rodeo`s turning him into a polishing addict (lol). In between times I`ve finally wired in the indicators on my Viagra and blown the flasher unit in the proccess. This week I WILL sit down and prep the exhaust stud holes ready for the rebuilding of said holes, I may do just one to see if it works and if it doesn`t then it`s heads off and changeover time.

Busy guy.
How/why did the indicator relay blow?

[Cabman77]

I`ve actually been working on the trike this weekend. Got the front end looking like a front end now, handlebars & risers all fitted, headlamps fitted front brakelines all in place. Still need a new tyre and the calipers will need stripping but just want to get it all in place and comfortable then go over the individual items from front to back. I`ve decided that the repair for the exhaust studs isn`t working so the engine has to come out and then swap the heads over. While the engine`s out the wiring will be sorted, just gives me a bit more room to manouver. Also been thinking about possibly lowering the bottom shock mount to lower the rear end. It all just looks a little too high for my liking, may even swap the ducati front end onto it to lower the front as well. Just wish I could focus and stop getting ideas for change in my head.

hi, ive just checked the size its ===  100/90 x 19 

its on a 1.85 x 19  honda  dream rim  i think (alloy rim with the black spokes that look like there clamped in) if you know what i meen.

might make it to basingstoke on sunday  not 100% shure yet

[Cabman77]

That`ll do lovely same size rim  as ours. How much do you want for it? I can`t make Basingstoke now and I don`t know if anyone from over here in Essex will be there either. Whereabouts are you based? Might be able to arrange a trip to collect it if not too far. Failing that find out cost by parcelforce, they collect from you, and I`ll pay the costs. Many many thanks.
