Air scoop at front may fill that gap.. Both look stunning to me
a wee "chin fairing" or tool roll maybe |

I hate when people compare Lemmy with God, i know he is great but he is not gonna be Lemmy, ever If your Dad hasnt got a beard, you've got two Mums there's no point it lookin' pretty if we can't drive it.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.  I am going to paint them, if nothing else, it will stop them going rusty while they wait for another build and it means I have a spare set of forks  . May or may not refit to Deliverance to see what they look like then. It's not as if it takes very long but I will not fit something that I feel is detrimental. Ho-hum |

Not given up on the girders quite yet. A couple of small alterations and they may look OK. Decided to bring the axle line back a little, gives slightly more trail than ideal but still less than with the teles. Also found a front mudguard shape I really like and that feel would suit. Trouble is it's on an early Indian. Chances of finding one, zero. So it looks like I may have to make one. Have started on the paint but it's a bit cold in the shed.

glad you not give up they will suite the trike as anything hand made in my book is the best option so long as it works and you get to say yes i made that .... rather than oh not a bad deal on ebay  no brainer mate stick at it and get some mile on it thats still gotta be the deciding factor |

we'll see Tried out a high gloss brush on enamel on the top yoke. Very impressed with the shine unfortunately seems to take weeks to fully cure. For days the wife has complained, that she could smell paint around the house. I said nothing.   Then she found the fork components on a radiator, hidden by a table.   Oooops BUSTED   |

Nope.
Letters are raised, not stamped in. Difficult to show in a pic. as they are quite small.
I know they may not get used, but......

Not saying. Got to keep a few secrets Bottom yoke is now finished, before it was just tacked together and everything has been painted. Just need to do the front mudguard and yet another headlamp mounting. Once these are done will try it all on the trike again. |

Trying to make an early Indian style front mudguard 1937-39. Skirted but not as heavily as the 1940 on ones, but with the sides stepped out slightly. First attempt did not go well. So bad I didn't even take any pics. Just beat it to death with a lump hammer.  Oh well never mind
