I bought a few parts already polished, because these would take me weeks to do, and I'm under a crunch right now. They aren't what I would consider complete, and I'll probably buff them up a little bit more. I'm working on a few parts as well, and have to get them done in the next week. My powdercoated stuff should be done the first of next week, so it's time to start putting things back together. I'll share more photos as things start coming together.

Good grief, I can't believe this is all I was able to throw together in 5 hours today! I rebuilt the forks, and there were LOTS of issues that came up during that exercise. But, they are nice and tight now. Tomorrow I should be able to get the rear end all put back together. Then I have to tear the side covers off the motor, to add a little Bling....................................

The purple looks silly in its state right now, but I know it will pull thru and rock it shortly. I love purple!

So close, and yet so far from completing. Got things showing up in the next day or two, so it "should" be wrapped up this weekend. Think we might make our own seat cover, and a tank cover to match. Next photos will be rolled outside in the sun..............

Darn! I got everything wrapped up yesterday, and didn't get the seat cover done until late in the evening. Can't get photos outside in the sun now, and so you're just gonna have to put you imagination at work. I got a seat cover from online, asked for dark purple, it wasn't and didn't look right. I drove to two different fabric shops Friday after work, neither had what I was looking for, and they didn't know anywhere else in town to look. Woke up early yesterday and searched for upholstery shops. Emailed one, asked if they had dark purple vinyl. He replied back, "I've only got K-State purple, anything else I would have to order". He made my day! My sister cut out the pattern from another seat cover, sewed it up, and helped me get it stapled on. Looks pretty damn cool, and I'll definitely be looking for some custom decals soon to give it a signature name.

Got it all together before the trip this weekend, and it ran flawless. Very pleased with the results, and now to finger out if I can change it over to ride on The Land! To top off the photos, here's our group photo Saturday at the dunes. They counted 40-some trikes for this year's ride. I didn't ride much this year, I found myself being overwhelmed with trying to train/supervise/overlook 5 other people, ranging in ages from 9-30'ish. We agreed that next time, we go out in smaller groups until everyone is experienced. I had a good time either way, just being away from work and letting folks enjoy my toys. I took 6 trikes this year, and only one gave us trouble.

I'm going to work on getting graphics made for the Irascible Joker this weekend. I've found what I think will be the mascot, and I'll get dimensions for the local place that makes my graphics. Irascible = easily provoked to anger ;D Attachments:
