here is what I have done so far. There are misc parts and pieces going to the chromer, including the DG pipe that came with it when I got it. Im waiting on the footpegs to come, and its getting sent down. Im also waiting on my +3 swingarm, the jug is at the machine shop getting bored out. Im ordering some misc stuff tonite from DK, like braided brake lines, brake pads, chain, sprockets etc. I have emails to 3 different places for quotes on Douglas wheels on all 3 corners. All the Aluminum parts were just polished with "scotchbrite" maroon, and then grey. Good stuff.

Trikaholic,

It looks just like my 86 Tri Z....when the project had just began! I know you are going to make an incredible trike. You are taking the same exhasting detail that I did....

...congradulations and bless you for saving an air cooled R!

Here is pic of my Tri Z at the same stage!

I agree, the free air R is pretty unusual to see, unless of course it is thrashed to shite.

Not much if anything will be left over. The only thing I really dont want is the front rim and tire. The rest is being refinished. I guess I could ebay the old chain and sprocket! I do have a set of JUNK footpegs, a good headlight with guard, taillight, light switch too. I think Im gonna keep that stuff, just cause it kinda "goes with it" eventhough, I wont use any of it.
