[Billy Golightly]

Just kidding, looks great.

[digity x]

looks real good if it was mine i would have the number plate area black on the rear fenders specially on yours cause of the yellow and black, but hot looking the way it is now.

[200xcellent]

[3leggeddog]

it's a bit more impressive in person.thanks for the kind words,that means alot coming from someone who has one of my favorite built trikes ever,well my favorite besides what i build ofcourse!!,lol.


do you guys think i should cut the rear fenders at an angle with the graphics,like along the very bottom?

[200x newby]

[SpeedBump]

Chop off the bottoms....they just gonna get in yer way!!! Its a full on RACER...should be race cut! :w00t::w00t:

[3leggeddog]

i thought so too.i just wanna follow the graphics up a little,not reall high.

[Derrick Adams]

I say cut em too!

[Jason Hall]

Lookin good Brandon. I love the color scheme.

[atctim]

B-

Looking sweet as sugar! I love the look of it. I too say cut the fenders. If it was just a rider I would say no, but this is a race machine, and I think right now, possibly my favorite R on the scene!

Cheers!

[3leggeddog]

[mymint87]

one more sticker on that trike and you'll need pigtails for your helmet instead of a fricken ol'mohawk......:welcome:

someone please tackle 3leggeddog, give him a pink belly, and take away the rest of his stickers before he slaps them on the 3 wheeler......:lol: :lol: :lol:


great looking trike...........:drool:

[Aussieduner]

Nice job B,love the yellow,thats the low profile Maier rear fender correct ?

Aussie

[3leggeddog]

yeap,low profile maiers.i hope they look ok with a seat on them

[Aussieduner]

yeap,low profile maiers.i hope they look ok with a seat on them


It will mate it looks sweet right now ! Has that dude got anymore yellow available ?

[RoscoW]

Nope ,Sorry Aussieduner, When I picked up the package deal on the R's the previous owner had started this color scheme to match his Banshee. I think he bought them 3-4 yrs ago and never finished the project. I was undecided if I wanted to go that route and 3 leggeddog really wanted them.

Ross..

Looks really nice Ross its a pity Maier are so strange with the colour selection on the ATC plastic as there would be some great looking machines created.

Aussie

[3leggeddog]

i agree,i don't know what thier problem is.it's weird,they run those color in all other quad plastics,but won't change the molds,and still run the same color plastic?

[Aussieduner]

i agree,i don't know what thier problem is.it's weird,they run those color in all other quad plastics,but won't change the molds,and still run the same color plastic?

Its got me B i would def buy several sets of different colours for my R's like the zest orange and yellow etc and have a diffent look now and again...why dont we start an email campain to them re ATC plastic choice and see what happens ?

[3leggeddog]

dude i got a chicks email out there,she is the "sales manager" i dealt with while trying to get the silver plastics.she is really cool,and helpful.i know seadoo 650 must have a hook up out there now too cause he's doing the blue 250r.it is worth a shot,i would love to see all different colored 250r's

[Louis Mielke]

heh. yeah he got the hook up. lol

[seadoo650]

[crazyflights]

Looks very nice, should be good time, and very good canidate for Triikefest MX race??

[Bryan Raffa]

OH brandon usually is,, you dont have to worrie about that..;)

[Huffa]

Man that thing is really nice, I love it, nice work!!

The only small detail I don't like is the Honda wing logo on the motor, it just does not look right there. :wondering

[3leggeddog]

not sure if they will stay,but i get tired of rubbing through the paint and touching it up.i am actually working on some clear vinly to stick on there to eliminate the problem,i had those on the shrouds,and didn't like them,when i peeled them off,thats where the went...........for now.everything is kinda experimental right now.the bikes still under construction.

[Louis Mielke]

Its totally about money. They will only produce items that they can sell 50 of a year. If they don't sell 50 peices a year of that color then they won't make it other than for speacial order.

So thats the key to keeping out trike plastic availible, making sure maier sells 50 peices each year. I would assume that after they no longer can sell that many the molds would in theory still be availible for speacial orders.

[SpeedBump]

Hey,,,not to hi-jack, but Maier will make you discontinued Plastics. Nathan Arabia, a fella that goes to school near here owns a Tecate 4. He looked everywhere for new WHITE plastics for it. (at the time) Kawasaki still had the fonts in stock, but the rears were completely sold out. He called Maier as they used to make T4 plastics. Back in the day, they were kinda sh1tty. Very dull and didn't fit real well. He wanted some new shiney stuff that was alot better quality. They told him if he were to PRE PAY for 6 or 8 rear fenders, they would retool and run them. He did, and had to fork out a bundle of cash on them. He had posted up (www.kawieriders.com) what he had planned to do, and there were about 4 rears already sold before they were made. He kept 2 for himself, and sold off the others. My buddy Rick, the guy I got 2 of my T4s from, bought a fender and it was a REALLY nice piece.

I just figured I would toss that out there so if you guys are serious...somebody take up the task...get the REAL orders together with money down....and give them a call. Let them know you will pre pay for a certain amount. Who knows, They just might fire things up.

[Louis Mielke]

Way ahead of you speedbump. Me and my partner in crime have already made a substantial investment. but....that's all you'll get out of me until after TF07.

[3leggeddog]

[3leggeddog]

Your trike looks great man. But hey, what can you expect, your shiz always looks sweet. I hope your putting a chrome header on that, it will really set it off. Be sure to check out my rebuild later. It will be the top most sweet and expensive one of the YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
