Thats a whole lot of tube round the back end Rennie! Looking good.
Cheers Rod. I hope the weight is not a performance killer. This is essentially a slow fun trike for the family that we can chuck a picnic basket etc on the back and tootle out on. Having 3 seats changes affects the design a lot as its not possible to triangulate MM style and leave room for the rear passengers legs. I have opted for a central triangulated box section with triangulated outriggers to the axle which also hold the seats. To be honest its probably over engineered, but as its my first I am going cautiously. |

i talked with the spray man up at work when i was sorting out spraying a cromed head light bowl, he said etch primer is good but the key you put on the steel is more important if its a good key normal primer will do  |

Finally made the seat frame and mounted it ! The springs are mountain bike shocks. I am a fat bast**d gravitationally challenged, and I used 750 Lb / sq inch springs. They seem to compress but I think maybe they are a bit stiff.

looks good to me andy my forks are around 45ish degree of lock but dont forget the good old reverse gear with the seat you'll probably find it will work good as it will compress over big sharp bumps but not bobb up and down like a shaggin rabbitall the way down the road, and if it turns out a little stiff eat more pies problem solved |
