How do folks. I haven't been on here in ages so thought I'd give a wee update as to what I've been up
Hardup choppers Outlaw frame and their own girder forks
GSXF750 engine, carbs and loom
West Wales Trike Shack back end. 60kgs of steel and alloy loveliness!!
American Racing Outlaw wheels 15"x10"
And suitably phat tyres to suit
That lot thrown together with a Harley V-Rod front wheel
Footplates made from JCB digger steps
I may have licked this headlight a few times
The theme is going to be Wild Bill Hickok (I'm calling the trike the Dead Man's Hand) so I'm going for a vintage black, silver and brass look and tan leather accents will help.
The engine is at a blasting place getting stripped, and there it'll stay until it opens post covid
Plenty more to come....

Very nice, I like them foot plates.
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Re: Hardup Trike Build
I'm fascinated with the engineering of the rear axle assembly.
Looks really sexy, and needs admiring from all angles, imho

Re: Hardup Trike Build
Mudguard brackets made from 4mm wall 1" tube. I used a hydraulic pipe bender after packing the tubes full of sand, and they bent lovely without so much as a ripple. The axle comes with mudguard mounting points built in which was handy.
