We worked on this trike in our spare time and completed it late in 2007. We hope you enjoy looking at the construction photos. Please contact us if you have any questions about the trike. Sorry it is NOT for sale. The wife would kill me !!!
 This is the donor bike. A 1992 Yamaha XV535, which was bought in Invergordon, Inverness Shire.
 Although the engine was running, it was dismantled and new parts fitted as necessary.
 Finished swing arm with frame assembled. All powder coated courtesy of KINGDOM COATINGS, Leven Fife.
The finished trike. The paint and air brushing was completed by DIDI AIRBRUSH, Kelty Fife.  |

 The bike had not been used in three years and was in a sorry state. Can YOU! see the potential.  Engine assembly, new rings, starter clutch, drive clutch, crank bearings and freshly powder coated heads and barrels.
Here we have the reconditioned engine in the frame. Also new rim and stainless spokes on front wheel.
The air brushed Celtic design is called the journey knot and looks stunning on the panels, well done DIDI, great job. |

 Here we have the bike totally dismantled and sitting next to the reconditioned Reliant Regal axle.
 These are the bare bones of the rear swing arm, fabricated with assistance from Neil at SIMPSON SMIDDY, Thornton. Fife.
Axle is not shortened and is fitted with chrome rostyle wheels and General Grabber tyres found on e-bay.
Hard to believe the trike came out of that door, with 12mm to spare at each side.  |
