2 days to build a battery box! Mind you that did include making a sheet metal Break into my bench. Ran out of welding wire as well so trip to somewhere tomorrow to get some more. Pics tomorrow night when I'm done

You too! Trouble is it's a bank holiday, so the only place near me will be Halfrauds.

Andy..I hold the choke open on start up, let the engine warm up a bit then close choke before moving off.Never had a prob.mixture is set correct, so isnt running too rich etc.Mostly only ride on warm days, so that probably helps as well!

Wow, I remember my old reliant 750 (3/25 Deluxe!) took for ever to warm up and not need the choke, mind that was a zenith carb and the heater was usually on most of the time Smiley

Been a bit quiet recently here. Had to clear out my Mums house to sell it and empty all my Dads tools etc which has been quite upseting.

Anyhoo, I decided to get some Trike Builds therapy this weekend. So made up the panels to go over the electrics box and around the handbrake.

Here is the electrics box I made up fitted, need to make a rubber seal for the edge yet..

And here it is with all the panels fitted, and the new seat balance in place.

I'm much happier with this seat than the other one I mde, and it has the advantage that the little radio fits into the purpose made void behind my back!

Looking good.Do you think the seat base needs to be slightly narrower about half way along? May chafe your thighs after a while? just a thought.

Possibly. I'll sit and bounce a bit once it is fixed in place. I didnt glue the bottom rails in in case i needed to alter it Smiley
