the paint etc isnt too clever, its not a show trike, itl get used

reliant badge made me larf (http://www.sexsim.com/forum/Smileys/sexsim/thumbs_up_smiley.gif)

Michaels of Selby sell metal pin badges of the Reliant logo. I've got one somewhere. Was going to mount it somewhere on the engine of my trike.
Nice build Digger. Sits well don't it. Like the yellow stripes on the black tank.
Bring it along to our pitch at the Basingstoke Festival of Transport!

coils an aftermarket one, MSD BLASTER SS, i wanted something more waterproof.
seat? unknown, its not off ebay it was in someones shed in a corner, poss harley?
the reliant stickers are off ebay, they are off a plymouth reliant yank car,
exup fan,running off a thermostat switch where the temp guage sender was.
bond chrome rocker cover,
fronts some italian bike, mostly,,,homemade brace so i could fit a mudguard.
mudguards off the muddyguard man, 20 quid for the rears, bargain, triumph racks on the top.
exhaust to sort,(stainless/norton hybrid).. wireing to do, putting the electrics into a box behind the number plate,
rear pad and footrests will come later,
on the road in a month or two i recon, (if i dont change anything (iv already moved the headlight upwards since i took these y/day ;D)

AH HA THATS HOW I GET PICCYS STRAIGHT ON!!!! ;D

this is the K box behind the numberplate for the minimal electrics, hinges back and fastens to show the plate,the no plate lights illuminate the inside when its open, handy for those dark breakdowns :-\

That's a brilliant idea!
I'm guessing you're not a biker Digger? If you're into custom bikes, or custom cars for that matter, you tend to follow the accepted ways of doing things -that must go there, that must go here etc. All the best, "out of the box" ideas on trikes seem to come from non bikers for some reason, presumably because they approach the problem from a different angle.

I can see just why you moved the headlight upwards, thought about that when I saw the pic! - looking good!

Those blaster coils are like 45 thousand volts or summat they ok for the distributor? Also I like the k box where ya get that fella .. :)

nope, biker ,  ;running a zrx12 at the mo and my everlasting c90,
im a heavy mech fitter by trade and get some ideas from that, i tend to try and get away from the normal, everyone i know says i dont think straight so perhaps they are right :),
K box,s are available from any electrical wholesalers, waterproof, and made outa alloy, not dear either, i fitted hinges though, they are bolt on lids

dunno, i will find out in the next few months ;D,
i ran a dyna coil on one once as a "put me by"it was ok with that,

C90? Coolest bikes in the World!

any more progress on this beasty digger ;)
