TONYS TRIKE (not a scooter one lol )

[tonydevon]

home built, in that garage you see it in.

the garage is under someone elses house, so time and noise is an issue LOL

total spend from nothing to finished was £1600, £400 of that was rear wheels and tyres.

motor is GTR1000, frame I built from lengths of straight tubing, its stressed member with removable lower frame tubes at the front for foot controls etc, this allows me to lift the frame on and off the engine, as I cant lift the engine about.

nice fighter

another of my builds, all my work, heaps of one off brass parts, tail light started as 5kg of brass bar, ended up at 2kg LOL


this one was something I built to ride to my own wedding, again all my work, frame, paint, exhaust ect etc etc



this one was nice and slow LOL, but I still rode like a loon, fat front and rear tyres meant it handled like a flymo on ice

Love this,especially the 'zorst

What's the spec on this bike

Very nice

[red]

all this is my work, frame, suspension, handlebars, wiring, exhaust, foot controls, paint, etc etc etc but I did pay someone to cover the seat, as my effort tends to look like a tramps hat LOL

rear wheels are going for black powdercoat over winter, and front wheel being changed for a 180 tyred rear sportsbike wheel.

about 120bhp at a guess, pulls like a train, rides perfect, but obviously have to ease up a bit on the bends.

selling it soon to buy/build a lambretta want a series 2 to ride, and also build my racer look one



Gonna be a tight squeeze getting it back in the garage I reckon



phone pic from the day of the shoot

[tonydevon]

LOL tis a modern garage so its a tight squeeze to get anything in there. thank god for perspective tho, that trikes about 1650mm max width

the black and blue lowrider is kawasaki ZR1100 engined, big lump of an engine, 8 spark plugs, 4 coils and more black boxes for the ignition etc than I care to think about again, went like stink, handled well to, despite the 200 back tyre.
again the frame, foot controls handlebars etc were all my work, the thing I hated and still do, are the yokes, way too skinny, but thats what happens when you pay someone else to do something, hence why now I dont do that anymore

the exhaust was built so that I could get the bike down low, I wanted the frame rails and engine down in the weeds. but also to visually take up some of the space twixt the engine and front wheel due to the rake on the frame, made the system from lots of bits of tubing, and got a damaged carbon can off ebay for next to nowt, shortened it, et voila

rear suspension is an aftermarket swingarm for something? that I heavily modified, it then runs harley air pull shocks under the engine, the bike was very short and small.

seat height was 22", bars were 46" wide

the GSXR engine hardtail had some nice brass bits,
footpegs, alloy bosses with brass tube sleeved over, I then picked up the .38 special cases after shooting one day, and cross drilled and bonded hammered these in, nickel plated cases against the brass looked good, even beter once the brass tarnished up a bit


this tail light was a solid lump of brass bar!! 2.5" across the flats. bored out the middle to give a recess for LED internals, then milled the end and cut a piece of red acrylic as a lens, acrylic is shiney and marks easy, but if you sand blast it, you get a lovely non reflective finish.



can just see in this pic how I then drilled through, and taped 6 holes, screwed in and loctited 6 long grubscrews to leave me with studs, then put brass domenuts on, all sat at the same angle LOL
