Members joelpete Posted August 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) The kids' step-dad said there really wasn't anything they could do with it, so their mother's response was to send it with the kids to my house, as a "Project."

Members joelpete Posted August 20, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 20, 2018 The trunk is a pattern I bought off of Tandy's Leathercraft Library. The seat I purchased off of Amazon, disassembled and reverse engineered. The fender and get-back whip were my creations. The hand grips are straight outta China (Amazon.) Quote

Members Stetson912 Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 This is awesome. I thought you meant motorcycle trikem this I think is cooler. Good looking work on the seats and bag. And that whip is a quirky touch. That's probably my favorite part. I can see little biker kids peddlin down the street haha. Just needs a little two stroke hehe! Quote
