I really could throw this ipad sometimes, the "copy" icon just flashes on briefly, like half a second or less, impossible to click on.
One less picture to share.
On the handbrake thing, it would be good to hide it away somewhere, but id like to use the trike before the winter gets here, so it will have to wait.
Got to finish welding and fix the rack next, then paint!

Bit of an update, spent some time fitting the rear muddies, damn it takes forever. Had to push the trike outside today to get a decent perspective - sort of stand back to eye it up. So i fitted both, eventually. Then bolted up the rear bumper bar and tack welded up the triangulation bars up to the rear section. The horizontal luggage bars (12mm stainless) were added, and i stood back to admire....
It looked a bit like an accident on a building site, bars everywhere. The axle torque bar needs to come out, that might improve things, it can go underneath. I may have to replace the original frosted aluminium diff cover to see if that cleans it up, we'll see. The problem is i want the capability to carry luggage, or at least a large kitbag, and i dont want to fit a box, so i'll have to persevere.

Iguess fitting holes is easy, making it look good is the difficult bit.
Will have a look at it later, take that reaction bar out, maybe fade in some matt black underneath to make the stainless stand out.
My problem is i struggle with visualising stuff - apparently there is a term for it, it means its built before i know what it'll look like. Poo.

I tend to stand back and look at a project for ages..lots of mocking up..then go for it..but generally I find bikes/hotrods prefer to grow organically ?

Done a bit more, the toque reaction bar has bit the dust, wiil have to refit one low down. The rack and muddy mountings have been redone, i think it does look better, but the remaining fly in the ointment is (are) the supports from the rear bumper to the muddy brackets, in trying to tidy up the axle attachments i moved them to the same place as the verticals, now they're not parallel to the muddys, so will need to chop the other ends and reposition.
Function and form, i guess you need both...

Yes its getting closer, some more work required to get them lined up, with radiussed bar ends and parallel to the muddies.
I wont be posting another pic until its painted, saex has made me jealous, but i might stillbore you a bit more before then.
Hopefully not longthough

Did a bit more today, remade the muddy support bars, made some radiused ends to close them off. They now run parallel to the wheels so look much better from behind, however, noticed tonight that they dont follow the line of the wheels. Also, one is further back than the other... Thats what happens when you try tokeep as much original as possible i guess - that's how its staying for now, i'll call it character. Also remade the handbrake mount to sit below the footplate, not finished yet, but its looking better all the time. Some cable loops for the rear lights loom tomorrow and we'll be close to paint  |

Bit of a non-pictorial update, primered the frame, 2 pack filler primer over etch. Need to hoist it up so i can be sure I haven't missed anything underneath.
Metallic purple week after next, when me and her indoors get back from North Wales tour in the camper.
Pics once its in colour, promise
