[Nandor]

Hi been busy polishing up parts, doing all fuel lines, filter and an4 braided lines. Tank should b back this week and i can make sure everything is clean and then weld up all the engine mounts etc

That rake is so awesome!
I'm really looking forward to your carb prep tutorial; that's knowledge I've been seeking for awhile.
What size is the front tire? Where did you find it?

The front is a 17inch. Was hard to find the white wall tyre was lucky they had some old stock

Is this planned to be for show or off road only? Just asking because I've worked on probably 100 or so trikes, and with that rake, and lack of a rear differential, it'll take some gorilla like arms to get that thing around a turn, especially on the street, unless you're planning on lifting a wheel. Most higher end trike kits decrease the rake closer to vertical, so that it has okay turn in.

The rake really isnt that bad just looks like it the way the frame steps back throws your eye out. Its going to mainly be for sand drags.
Ive had it running before with the 200 in it and it turns and handles really well and slides well lol

Few pics of the new polished turbo sitting in place. Still waiting on tank to get final placement of everything but this is close to where it will all go.
Waiting on a m10x1.0 tape for the oil inlet of the turbo so once thst arrives i can mock up oil lines and check im getting sufficient oil flow round the system before welding up the oil tank.

What is a m10x1.0 tape?

Oh man, I tried to figure out various combinations of letters, but I didn't think of dropping a letter. Honestly, the simplest things can escape me sometimes.

I would also guess that the steering is going to be much easier for the simple fact that this thing probably weighs half to a third of what a typical Trike does.

Hi all
A few updates for u.
Been rather busy so havent had to much time to work on the trike.
Have moved the bar one again, decided to build an lsd chain drive for the trike just for the hell of it also worked out i can fit a 190mm disk and caliper inside of my ten inch rims with 4mm of clearance so the trike will have twin rear disks in the near future.
Um have got a 37mm air fuel gauge and matching boost gauge in the post just to make sure i can run this thing with out leaning out or over boosting.
Um had a new front rim ordered but arrived damage so had to send back to get a replacement.
What else, been drawing up my turbo flanges on the laser cutter at work and will b cutting them out of stainless steel in a few days, also have both my dump pipe and screamer pipe here waiting on the dump pipe flange.
So sorry about the long time between updates and i just want to thank u all for sticking in there and following along on this journey with me.

Nice!!! I really don't know what to say....very nice job, brilliant....I have enjoyed your progress and pictures, again thanks for keeping us updated!!!!

Rolled the trike outside to get a better look at the lines and make sure im heading in the right direction with it.
Straight away the head light stands out and needs to b tilted forward alot more to keep with the tank line. But all in all think most of it works.
I forget how small it is till u have it down on its wheels

Couple more updates
Got dump pipe/screamer tacked up, have to lobster bend as cant get a 75mm radius roll.
Decided on where my boost gauge and afm gauge will go.
Trying to work out wiring lay out etc so thats taking some time but its starting to ome together slowly

That cup holder makes me grin every time.
