Drift Trike Thread. - Now with video!!!

[Dum-Dum]

I'm a happy boy, it's rolling and rideable. Had it up to 12mph on the little hill on my road and she handles well, I reckon I could of got her to slide if I had sleeves on the rear wheels. Really need to get a  brake connected up though but waiting to see if someone will give me a better brake for it.

Todays work involved cutting the old main tube extension, shortening it and then flaring it and welding it back on. Cutting 6 slits in the rear axle and folding the tabs in to hold the monster bolts that are forming my stub axles then getting them as straight tacking them, checking them and then fully welding them and f*ck me did I put some weld on them. I then strengthened the head tube join with 2 bits of 3mm strip. The wheels were then bolted on with the front end and I had to take it for a test ride

Tomorrows work will be seam welding all the tack welds and then getting some paint on her then fitting the brake and speedo. If there is time/daylight then I'm going to find one of the bigger hills locally for a speed test. Reckon if I've hit 12mph today I could get 30mph at least.
