Looks like it could be a factory option thankyou thankyou - thats the idea. man its been hard work getting the look [and not done yet] - way more than building a bike. i went in a bit eyes shut assuming it would be similar in time / effort to a bike - how wrong could i be. with the box now done except the wiring i have worked out theres nearly 250 hours in that alone. never mind the diff and other bits and pieces - i now have a new respect for what goes into a trike build the little front rack is previous owner i cant claim that one, he went on a europe trip and the bike was consuming vast quantities of oil at the time so he had this little rack made up to carry an extra big bottle of spare oil. i just really liked it so left it on there |

I like it very much, as said, looks like it could have come from the factory like it.

spent some time looking into the shovelhead and why its not running so a little slow on this the last few weeks. only thing that you can see moving forwards is the inside of the box. just been tidying up loose ends and little bits and pieces that take for ever near the end of a project. bits of wiring, odd little brackets here and there, seat mount etc. i made an insert for the box that covers the backs of the lights so i dont smash them off with my tent etc. and it has a nice little compartment for a bottle of oil and a tool kit  SUMOs panther trike |

well - got the proper front wheel in there now with the front anchor made to accept 2 cables so i can run my handbrake there aswell, and yes - i know - the build looks to be going backwards but the outside shot was just a prop together to a] give me a kick in the arse to get on with it and b] make sure i liked it on the floor  SUMOs panther trike |
