I agree with you. I like mine better.
Here's a couple pictures I found -
This one below was called "The Ice Cream Man from Hell" I saw him at an event that I was at. He was selling ice cream. Did very well on that hot day.
As you can see the resemblance of these servi car bodies and mine.

Got some of his shirts very good quality LOL nice Trikes, Thanks for sharing:s:s
Since I added the hog tune speakers to the rear of my trike. I went and ordered the 4 channel amplifier from Hog tunes. This will be interesting to see if it will mount to the top of my radio. Since my fairing is of a 1993. I'm wondering if there will be an enough clearance to do so. If not I'll be wiring it up in the cargo area. What I also like is this amplifier has an internal fan. It does get hot under there with just the radio playing and the hot sun beating down on a black fairing. I'll also be covering and adding the custom bucket backrest to my trike today.

Update:
Tomorrow Ill add pictures. I did however finish the revised back rest. And I must say. It's fantastic! Works just the way I hoped it would. Keeps me planted in my seat on turns and something to lean against too. Feels snug around my back. Makes me feel more as part of my ride. Than just sitting on it. It's beyond comparison of the typical flat padded back rest.

Here's the pictures of the new back rest I made for my trike. Turned out pretty good considering I'm not an upholsterer.
Like I mentioned before. With the back rest curved to fit my back. The ride makes you feel like your part of the machine and not just leaning back on a flat padded rest. Very comfortable!

Turned out very nice, looks like a product from a major seat manufacturer.
Will do. I have the older style fairing. The instrument cluster covers part of the radio. So I cant install it on there. Like it was designed for the newer models There's a chance that I may be able to install it in there anyways. Ill take pictures in case it does allow an enough clearance to mount it under the fairing. This way anyone that considers doing the same. Will know it can be done. If not I'll have to install the amp in the cargo area. I hoping I don't have to go that route. Will have to extend a lot of wires.

Been installing a new Ultima Bullet style sliders and fork tubes in place of the OEM air shocks. Hard part was trying to remove all the original front end equipment without taking the entire inner fairing apart and out. The front sliders by Ultima were listed for a softail. I figured they should fit. Even though the trike is a touring model to begin with. They are now mounted in the Easy Steer triple trees. When I ordered the new front end. I asked for 2" over stock on the length of the fork tubes. Looks like the stock length tubes of a softail are longer than what I originally had on there, besides the extra 2" over. I wont know the looks of the final stance till I have it together and with the weight of the trike resting on the front end. But I did want to go for the ol school chopper look and so far it looks like I got that. I'll do pictures today and will post them soon. I also noticed that the front fender mounts are higher in relation to where they were on the stock front end. Looks like I'll be making special fender brackets to mount the stock front fender in it's respectable position.
When ever I do any build, custom or a stock add-on. I try and make sure I cover every aspect. Though this time, with this new length. It won't be till later today that I'll know if my brake lines and front axle speedometer cable is long enough for my custom application.
