[tri-z987]

the motor looks almost fake, like a mock up motor lol

[jfaulkner02]

lol, yeah i was told the other day the trike looked almost like a fake electric one. haha.

[scottp597]

Is that one of them new energy-efficient hybrid trikes?

[jfaulkner02]

lol, huh? Sorry to say.....NO! lol

[GeoD]

Holy Smurfy!!!

Maybe if you paint the tank red it would break up the blue a bit.

All in all...nice job painting the bike.

Yeah, it flies, so it saves you gas.

[ctk]

I would not paint mine like that, but I will say nice job. Good to see somebody do what they like. Be proud of it.

[jfaulkner02]

lol, thanks. im big fan of custom stuff. and ive always repainted toys, cars whatever i had gotten in my life, even if it was new. lol. I like making it "my own". but thanks alot

[scooterroo]

itdoes look like papa smurfs ride but regardless off what others say about your choice of color scheme, it is your vision and theres nothing wrong with it. as long as you are pleased with the end result, thats all that matters. i got an 85 sitting behind the garage that i will someday get to redoing, but have to many projects going on at the moment, so it sits there like it has for the past 4 years. i will get to it someday, and the ideas i have in my head are going to make heads turn once its done. im thinking old school curtis sparks replica... at least set up wise, color scheme... white plastics, blue frame and charcoal gray forks, swinger, and motor with some chrome highlights. kinda like the powroll 200x oldschool racer.

nice job on the repaint.

[350Xccelerator]

Ummm...... what ever floats your boat i guess. Congrats on getting it done

[jfaulkner02]

nice ideas scooterroo, i hope one day we can see it once u get it done. but yeah in the end its all about the owner liking it. it never bothers me what others say. thanks 350X.. i think!

I've always wondered why we don't seem to bother with the front of the seat...?? Mine bothers me when i'm riding, so gotta bend it back forward.

I've always wondered why we don't seem to bother with the front of the seat...?? Mine bothers me when i'm riding, so gotta bend it back forward.

for me, its a fine line between a sloppy seat cover and having it bend upward like that

BTW sweet trike. if it were mine i'd put some white honda wings on the tank though

double BTW have you put a chain on and ridden it?

[jfaulkner02]

QCR77. First of all, thanks. And no i have not ridden it yet, i still need to get a chain and airfilter. whenever i can scrounge up some cash ill get them and give her hell, lol. Hmmmm, i do plan on getting some stickers for it. white sounds good. the ones i had in mind were the red, white, and blue wings. but not sure yet. thanks for the suggestion man.

[RodKnockRacing]

its definitely different

[haggard 2hundie]

on second thought that thing screams spidey wheeler i like it

[shortline10]

Gonna be hard to steal that puppy and get away with it LOL . I like custome great job!!!

[jfaulkner02]

Thanks alot guys for the "good" comments, lol. Shortline10, thanks and no one would try to steal it! they know better, lol.

[BIGREDGUY]

You do nice work.

[jfaulkner02]

well i do the best i can. i like crazy and wild colors. lol. thanks alot BIGREDGUY i appreciate it man.

[Fungo Wizard]

You going to have it running when you come to Chadwick in a few! I am anxious to see it in person.

[jfaulkner02]

well fungo it may not be running. lol. i had the engine running once before and had to take the topend back off to replace a couple dowel pins. and now it wont start. i think its just carb and that the tank needs to be cleaned really good and lined. and seeing that its freaking keeps raining i cant get anything done on it. so im hoping to get it done but we will see.

[dirtdemon]

holy spiderman!! thats sweet you should get spiderman stickers haha i love that paint its sweet great job

[jfaulkner02]

lol, dirtdemon. i was thinking more of the superman theme but i like spidey too. ill figure it out when i get decals made. lol. thanks alot guys
