In fact, in the minutes after running myself over with it, I had a shock-induced thought..  
[1] I'm injured
[2] who the fuck am I going to call to take the trike home - only Rowlsey has ever ridden it apart from me

I limped it home myself

stripped! 


only one surprise and that was a 2" hole under the swing-arm! Shocked mot chap didnt get on his hands and knees for a mooch then!

so fridays fun will be.... 

cut off all the brackets
cut off the back end
weld in the hoop for the rear fender
weld in new plate and gussets for the swing arm
weld in 2" extentions for the rear shocks

i was playing with different length battons sunday night to jack up the back end - i got to 35mm and was hitting the pillion footrests so they got cut there and then! took it up to 50mm and it looked right and the exhaust looks better too as it now passes above the centre-line of the rear wheel - one less thing to buy.....
most of my parts have turned up enuf for the first build anyway i can do a rolling type resto after that Thumbs Up

few bits done today......

repaired and welded up swinger. 50mm extension under the shock lugs


hoop in pillion pegs gone along with a few brackets - tidied up exhaust hanger and welded up some holes. got a few more bits to add so its not getting painted just yet.


and couldnt help meself so i built her up with the new fatty on the front.not exactly over the moon with the look so far but i think its going to be good when its finished. the honda looked good with just the swinger extended - i think this one will be the whole package.


need some better lights in me garage.....
