Welcome aboard, Nick!

Sweet bikes! I dig the narrow tire rigids, especially in a sea of 300+ rear tires.

Default Welcome!!!!

Love seeing more of this.

I dont know why, but I really like the look of the ladies bike. Whats that say about me?

Nice bikes all around. I cant wait to see more threads on the trike. Its more my flavor (very nice for the handicap in me). What rear end setup are you using? I have a friend that modifies the 80's t-bird rear ends for his.

None the less.... Welcome.

Thanks everyone

T-body- the gold one and the trike are special construction. The others are all titled HDs that have been modified.

heidesign, we are using a late HD servicar rear on this. This is our first shot at a trike. I will start a build thread on it soon. Oh and it just ssays you got good taste hahahahahaha

tdoty, thanks. My bike and my girl's both have custom triple trees that I desinged and we machined at my father's place. I run a wide glide 16 wheel up front, we machined off the brake flange and set up 35mm Sportster tubes as close as we could get them to the tire and then made the trees off the measurements, real subtle and worked out well. The ones on my girl's bike are just a 1/2" narrower than wide glide and we made a bracket to run a 2000 and up front caliper on the 79 lower legs.
