reverse trike
Переглядів 2833 місяці тому
I did a little welding this morning on somw items...just enough to give me the ability to do the backyard bounce test. Initial thoughts...nope. not good. Too much drop, too soft, no control over rebound or compression... So I closed the internal valves, they were all the way open. I tightened up the shock spring, as loose as it can be. I adjusted the push rods for the ground clearance. Sooo muc...

worked on the fuel tank. A bit heavy but it is the steel I had and not sure of everything. I still want to do a fiberglass version but I am actually liking this.... a lot. Welded inside and outside. ot holds a solid 5 gal and could easily squeeze another 1/2. I think I'm going ro try the factory fuel pump for the VStrom1000 before I go aftermarket.

P-Shooter 1.25"
Переглядів 50Рік тому
So I spent time this morning doing the chassis out of 1.25" square. Possibly went overboard with the top triangulation but the extra weight wont really be noticed. Not worried. Still open to thoughts and input. Also started working on an idea for a couple different swingarms so I can use a small single cyl shifter in this as well.... Pardon all the messenger dings. Talking to a few people.

My Peel50 upgrade I call P-Shooter. Some people are asking about lack of triangulation in chassis and my ideas on the body. this should help to address some of those.

Peel 50cc redo. Peel 150cc. 4" wider and 4" longer. no door, flip top, engine moved to the back and wide stance with 12" DOT tires and wheels. chassis is not done, more triangulation needed as well as a few areas to complete. but to do thst, more steel is needed. enjoy, have a laugh. more to come.

My Hudson was so low with the original shock absorbers from the previous owner that they were at the end stop and the suspension travel was only the rubber stops. It drove well on smooth roads in curves. However, on potholes, bumps or steps you would be shaken around violently and you would get blows all the way to your back. That was rubbish. The suspension stayed that low, but I now have rebound shock absorbers and the strongest stabilizer that was available on the R5....and shock absorbers that I can now adjust.

    • @toddwright8746
      @toddwright8746 3 місяці тому

      First.... thank you. Now I do both. I build on the fly and design in 3D. BUT.... I have found that 3D in the model doesnt always work in real life. So if I model it... I will usually sit in a position with wood propped up....document a few key things and put those limitations into 3D. And work around them... then play in the real world with it. So I can do both and I use both together to get my desired results. Thanks again

    Todd, basically.... 1. Do not give a rats rear what naysayers say.!! Keep posting. 2. You do YOU. If you want to do this build in the middle of the freeway during rush hour traffic, who am I to tell you different. 3. A wire Flux core welder is great for setups. Heavy tack welds and such. But do a bend test on some tubing you are using to see if the welds crack. But always listen to #1 above. 4. When in doubt, add a gusset to an angle weld. 5. Your shop is too neat and clean, you're making mine look bad. 6. Looking forward to you posting over on the Trike forums too.
