At the moment, yes.  Great in straight lines but not so hot round corners. |

It's off the deck by about 4 inches on a roller skate cos you haven't machined my yokes yet.  Standard Reliant. I know cos it says "Reliant" on the top. The bottom outlet is right angled so I cut it off, turned it round & had a mate braze it back on to form a straight outlet. Hoses are 1 inch bore. Top one needs to be S shaped to clear the down tube of the frame. Bottom one's wiggly shaped. |

Mr SaddleBags has sorted my yokes for me now, but they'll need re-coating. The rear edge of the top yoke's been shaved off to give more clearance for the fuel tank, but it's milled in a staight line, which looks wrong, so Tazet's been busy filing it to a nice curve to match the rest of the yoke design. The steering stops have been re-drilled to give slightly less lock, which will give more clearance between the tank & the handlebars. The steering stem's also been re-worked to remove the locking ring that sat above the top bearing. That'll lower the top yoke by an inch so it'll clear the tank as originally intended.
Does that lot make any sense? Probably not. I'll take some pics to explain it better.
In the meantime I've been re-working the heated carb manifold. On a standard Reliant the SU carb sits on a short manifold which is heated by water from the engine to help cold weather starting & running. That's never been a problem on any of our trikes, so I've hacksawed off the water chamber & filed the tube smooth, so there'll be a couple less water pipes cluttering up the engine.

It's getting there slowly but surely.  The alternator and the Radiator are fitted on the trike too. |

What she means is she fitted the alternator & re-fitted the radiator after I'd followed Spanner Fingers' advice & sprayed it with Smoothrite. He reckons it's heat-proof enough for rads, so if it all peels off it's his fault!

Went down to the centre of the the Trike universe (Basingstoke) on the Beach Bastard yesterday, Popped in and picked up saddlebags and went over to Mankys garage to see his Trike. Looking good and nearly finished Come on Manky you could have it on the road by august! Saw sadllebags trike build too and that is looking well tasty as well. We ( Mr and Mrs Saddlebags and myself) then went to the Alton station meet and met up with Manky and Tazet too but not many others as the weather was a bit pants! Nice to see you all |
