Trike No 2
Again I've had for sometime and agin have no forum name

Hi I'm Chris and this is my German Ficht MF1 trike ,these are slightly older pictures cos she is in bits undergoing major replacement of parts. I bought her in March 2009, to date with brand new parts I have replaced all the rear braking system wheel bearings and spacers,she's all so had a new clutch kit, flywheel and release gear , doghouse oil cooler and mega amount of naff bolts and gaskets changed for good uns. As one knows when one starts these jobs one thing leads to another and now im starting on changing engine bits too. hope to have her back on the road soon....

To be honest - love em all!! However - The ride position on no3 looks right up my street and it is a sweet looking ride. Yep. No3 for me. Come on sunshine.....I need to get out on a ride or two or three or four or......

1 or 3, I don't know...... decisions, decisions

1 has a good set of pipes (from where please?) on a tidy engine.
3 has a hUGe engine compacted neatly into a small area.

Going for 1 - engine/pipework has done it.

Three for me love the short mean look of it. Some skill getting the engine in to such a short frame. Bet that keeps the bum warm

Hey I am up!!
Have not been on in a month or so.
Thanks for the kind words.
And... it is not any hotter than any other air cooled bike I have ever had and actually less hot than a water cooled V65 I had.
With no cooling system You HAVE to go for it to cool (like any air cooled bike).
Had all my great plans get messed up this winter and did not get anything done to the trike. I got it out yesterday and the master cylinder was rusted stuck. Fixed it up and rode all day though.

Number three....

Looks mean...

Love the fact so much individuality has gone into stuffing that motor up front....

Seriously cool!

The other two are also real nice

I like number 1, but I'm sure the rear tyres are arse about face, they will push water to the centre and maybe aquaplane
