Nice rear disc brake, but where's the pedal ? (must have forgotten  to engineer that).

---------------------------------

He's running it off of the front brake master.  There is a splitter on the right side of the down tube, just under the tank.

Also, as much fun as it is to pick this thing apart, I still think it's cool that someone built what they wanted and there is some decent fabrication there.  More power to'em!

Anyone have an idea of what that headlight and bracket might be? I was looking at maybe doing one from a Honda Fury, cost of the entire assembly and bracket as OEM is pretty steep.

It looks to be one of the available Harley headights, and he built bent up a flat plate to adapt it to the Savage yoke.

The adapter that Armen machines for me mounts the same headlight - but doesn't push it out so far forward and  keeps it closer to the forks.

custom plate "46VNV"

probably a one legged Vietnam vet.


I believe that for most people.....there is a good reason they are riding a trike (probably not their 1st choice for a cool motorcycle).  A lot them are physically impaired and can't hold up a bike anymore, some have balance problems, some are just afraid of 2 wheels.

Performance isn't really a consideration for them.....and most of them don't handle/steer very well - but the trike allows them to go "riding"!

Performance may not be a consideration , but safety should be! There are to many things wrong with this bike. I believe the biggest "fabrication" is that it is well engineered.
