Here's my Trike build

[zoood]

My dog just loves being in the car on a journey he will sit calmly and look out of the window for a wee while then settle down and be really peaceful the rest of the time he is a raging menace but in the car calm

Mine will be fine. he rode with me when he was a puppy.

Very nice, RJ!! You are going to get much more air flow through that cooler fan, IMHO! Makes me want to pull that plastic shroud off my Ultracool.

You'll want to keep that shroud on till you make something like I did for mine. I was only about 20 minutes into my ride and I heard and felt a thump under my front wheel. Turns out a big azz squirrel decided to test out the spoiler. He lost, spoilers fine. The screened grill I have in the spoiler was pushed in a little. The squirrel never touched the Ultra Cool Fan. I fixed the screen already.

Ive another idea. Just include a brass elbow fitting that gets pressed in. That metal casting is soft compared to steel. Now the other thing is. riders would have to get that breather tubing set-up from Kuryakyn. This kit would only work if the rider has that installed already. Most I'm sure would prefer being able to do this set-up with their stock air cleaner set-up. So you see? this can cause a whole other can of worms to open up.

I finally tested the oil breather set-up I did and it's a No Go!
By putting a line to the oil tank. I created a vent in the top of the oil tank. The oil traveled up through the filter I installed. Not a straight stream,.. but exited in an aerated consistency and made a mess! Im gonna have to plug that hole I made in the oil tank filler neck and run the oil vent line from the heads out to the back bumper, like originally planned.

A rolling work of ART:s

I can't agree more. Nice work I would enjoy seeing up close.

Did the dog enjoy the wee run out
well he did have his head up so perhaps he is fine if he jumps in the trailer every chance he gets then youll know he loves it

Like I mentioned before. He rode with me when he was a pup. I think the barking he's doing. Is he hasnt figured out that he's going along with me. He use'd to ride right behind me on the bike.

I think we need to see this work of art in Daytona and win a trophy:s

I still have to start and finish fiberglass work and painting. Also there's a lot of adjustments I have to do. I'll try and see if Daytona will be in the immediate future.

One of the adjustments,... Ive already started fixing. The trikes receiver sets lower than the trailer's tongue. I had made an extension to raise the ball 3&5/8".
The trailer has independent suspension. Known as torsion bars. Problem with this suspension. On certain road terrains. It has a tendency to sway. I had incorporated an anti sway bar system for this trailer to trike. When I raised the ball to accommodate the levelness of the trailer. There was a certainty that the sway bar would contact the trike's bumper on right turns. The only way I could see to alleviate this problem. Is shown in the picture below.

I dropped the tongue's height. This way, the sway bar won't contact the trailer's bumper. Here's a picture of the sway bar to give you an idea of where it's located, in relation with the tongue.

This is the type hook-up that the leading end of the sway bar attaches too.
The smaller leading ball is actually lower than the bumper. Though the picture doesn't show this.

In the next picture. Since the trike has a 5.5 degree rake. Two inch over stock tubes and a 21" wheel. This also made the receiver tilt down towards the pavement. It's not a bad dip. But I was concerned that if I ever pulled a wheelie on this thing. That I would cause damage. So I rigged up a small steel wheel under there.

And yes it works! I had the suspension on the trikes rear set a bit soft and with the trailer hooked up. With that 113 in there. I was on 3 wheels without the use of the front wheel. lol

Like I said, Ive a bit of adjustments to make.
