When i come to measure up your bottom yoke for your headlight mount me thinks i might be taking some dimensions off of that tax disc holder as well.  |

Mr SaddleBags did indeed visit my humble garage this very afternoon. Didn't measure up for tax disc holders but did do so for a headlight bracket for my trike. The re-worked yokes are now back on with new taper roller bearings, the fork brace from my last trike's been powder-coated black, (it was polished ally before), & fitted, & so has the mudguard. I made the brace from 5 seperate sections of aluminium billet, welded together & hacksawed & hand filed to shape by my good self. Took bloomin' ages. SaddleBags turned one out for Ska Man on his magic CNC machines in about half an hour.  Can't put the front wheel back in till I've sorted out the engine. As you can see, it's hanging out of the frame at the moment cos I need to redrill & retap a thread in the crankcases to screw a new head stud into. |

Welcome back mate. Nope, mainly lack of money & time holding mine up. Let's see some snaps of yours then.

Stopped by at my lock up while walking to the local DIY store today. Haven't even looked at my trike for a couple of weeks. Been laid low by Tonsillitis, which has left me feeling pathetically weak & feeble. Depressing to realise just how much I've got left to do.
The very last outing for this year will be the Reading to Wokingham Barnados toy run in early December & I'm determined to get the thing on the road for that.
So next week I plan to have a bit of a garage blitz & get as much done as I can.
If any local Monkeys see this, I could really do with a hand fellas.

You'd be suprised how many people have said that! Or maybe you wouldn't.

Do I sense a trike-finishing party coming on? I can probably pop over Tuesday after work? Anyone else? |

Will certainly take a bit more than a few days to get it finished. Still got no exhaust system, no handbrake cables, no rear brakes, no rear mudguards, no numberplate bracket, no brake hoses or cables & a million little brackets that need to be made then powder-coated. Just determined to get as much bolted back together as possible, so it's at least back on it's 3 wheels with the motor properly sorted & bolted back in, tank & bars back on etc.
Think I need an enthusiasm boost.

Not an enthusiasm boost, but it was all I could find!
