Hi and welcome.

That looks silly...

I love it

I thought I saw nitrous plumbing on one of your other posts, looks a fun vehicle to me. I think there is at least one other trike on here.
Best regards

I think l should wait till i've got a good strong motor to use it... this old motor would melt or snap methinks... Maybe the other triker will see this..?

Bazza..

Looks very nice, and a practical daily / rally weapon - towbar n'all. Though, do you find speedbumps a prob? With the exahusts that low. Carb intakes look superb...

Hiya...yep towbar is very handy... Speedbumps !!!! I *****ing hate them... I gotta go SO slow over the full width ones... The ones with a gap arnt too bad....but yes, those pipes are a tad low. When I got it, it had huge big 'boxy' K+Ns...bloody ugly..I tried the 3" s/s bellmouths but found these 6" ali ones on a yanky website..they arnt for webbers, but after checking the measurements l risked it. All l had to do was run a 6mm drill through the mounting holes and voila !!! Animals and small children beware...

Those intakes are dead foxy, nice one. Where I was in NW London the bumps grew like a bloody rash. Though the splits were good for the bike, could ride hands off for a quarter mile or so down to my road : ))

D'you use it as a daily, or is it a fun thing? Cos the chair looks a bit out of reach, though well stashed.

It'll be properly mental with the gas on too eh...

Hiya....its for fun...l get around in a PT Cruiser. I get out on it as much as l can. Petrol..? Erm...l dont like thinking about what goes through those carbs

I cant see the pics on my laptop. All I can see is a white rectangle with a red cross in the middle. Do I need to activate something on this pc to see pics?

It must be loads of fun Bazza, re the petrol, smiles are priceless eh...

Pics OK here Perry, nothing needs activating. Try right-click the pic, copy the path, and paste into the browser address. Might 'trigger' them so they show in the post sort of thing, it happens to me on other forums sometimes.

hi bazza,

yes looks fun ,bet it sounds great when you open it up.

have a look at my web site,i have just fitted TH350 box to my rover.i think it will be very tight for your trike.The bell housing is around the same size but the gearbox is a wider further back.i have 17 inch`s between my rails and it just fits between them with a bit of room to oil pipes and gear linkage to them.the oil cooler pipes are also on the other side to the rover box.

but im sure you could over come any problems that fitting it would give you.
