There's a reason cars don't have separate front and rear brakes.... Just use them on the same circuit with a controllable bias to tune it how you want it
Rear looks good but needs a bigger automotive wheel-something wider and more substantial. Triangulate instead of keeping those curved 90 degree tubes at the bottom of the swing arm mounting location. Real nice rear area!
Yes, with this wheel that thing will have no traction at all, all three wheels need to be flat profiled and the one in the back the double width like the front ones, need to rethink the whole setup in the back except of he wants to build something to do uncontrolled spinning on one spot.
That back end is looking pretty good for sure, why not make a nice looking gas tank to fit in it? Thats what i did with my homemade 600cc buggy and it looks great. Also saves you from using a fuel pump
Hang it under that sissy bar on the back and put a fender underneath it with tail light and license tag plate on the back of the fuel cell. I don't know of a DOT inspector in NC that will let you tag that thing, but who knows. I would talk to them now before you go any further. If you drive it on the road, paint it something bright and visible, otherwise someone is going to ride home with you in the grill of their truck.
@@n1r0l I think that's a good idea. He will probably need to put some sort of rear fender on it anyway if it is driven on the street. He's got the skill to fab up something that fits well in this spot.
From a design perspective, the front end has a beautiful swooping curve, but then in the back it's geometric. I would like to see that back end of the frame / curve be one smooth round curve as well. Beautiful work none the less and am a big fan of the Ariel Atom so I'm loving the inspiration.
8:00 yeah if you put it there you were able to make some fiberglass induction through the hole in above your head making it dual purpose not only as a roll bar but also induction for the rad
Don't overthink it bud. It looks awesome, I've seen waaay too many builds take a turn for the worse because they are worried what everyone else thinks. This is one of my favorite builds to watch, keep up the awesome work.
OK - thoughts: The two bars on each side of the engine that cross each other - Cut one loose, kick a bend in it and cut it and make a proper X on each side like you did in the top support of the center roll bar- also- on the angle bars in the front of the frame in front of the suspension - you have both going the same angle, which looks terrible and doesn't flow with the "Triangulation" theme of Ariel Atom frame design - cut the front-most one loose and reverse it's direction so it'a a triangle, please I think it's looking GREAT so far- as far as both F & R brakes being on one pedal, I had a shifter kart with two masters off the one pedal, and it had a device hooked in so you could adjust a pivoting rocker between the masters on the pushrod to the front to rear brake bias on the fly as the brakes and tires warmed up - was easy to make and worked excellent-
The rear section looks great and not to beat a dead horse but I do agree with building a custom gas tank for the rear, definitely needs beefier tires all around. Love the custom air scoop idea and like one other person mentioned, a single braking system set up properly is the way to go especially if you don't want to confuse whomever is going to inspect this beast to give the yay or nay on it being street legal. Great build so far, love your content.
Ok, I going to have to say that is one bad ass machine you are building. I would drag it outside so you can get a full view of it. At least before you start cutting it. Boy I sure cannot wait to see the cold start and test drive on that bad boy. Awesome build!
I like the squared off rear tire cover that you did, instead of it being pointed. Keep a theme, either rounded or pointed, low and sleek looks good to me. Also, I agree with others on here LED brake lights and some sort of pod lights for the front.
Honestly, it looks like a single seat twist on a T-Rex. I dig it. You're 100% gonna have to switch tires to a flat profile. They dont lean on a trike, so you're missing out on all of the sticky compound that makes a motorcycle tire good. (Never rolls to the sidewall) Keep up the great work. Super excited for this one!!
Hey, I thing the rear is looking really great. Just wanted to point out idea regarding the gas tank. Do you really thing it is good idea to put it where you are most likely to punch it? I mean in case of any front crast you will have gas everywhere. It seems that better place for it would be somewhere over the engine, you could even design it to fit with the angles of back section and it wont interfere with the radiator at all. Other than that awesome work!!! Love to watch your videos. David
Can-Am uses a foot peddle that actuates the front and rear at the same time with a proportioning valve similar to cars and trucks. Jegs sells a manual adjustable valve for setting front to rear bias for breaks that could make your breaks easier to plumb up. I like the rear bars and it reminds me of a dirt bike rear fender. Wrap this thing in fleece fabric then cover it with fiberglass resin then paint to make it look silky smooth with the bars putting body lines in.
I think you are doing a really great job. You have come a long way. Aside from building tanks that will survive Armageddon, you have become quite the fabricator. Instead of looking at it with regret, be proud of it. If you want to change something, do it. there were no plans, there was no design. That means there is no wrong way. Honestly... I love weird stuff. Homemade often looks funny. Anyone can go buy something commercially available. Designed by computers, built by robots... But to have something that somebody built with their own 2 hands, or to have something you built yourself... That's special. Because there is only 1. I had a homemade house boat once. It wasn't perfect, but I loved it. Someone put their heart mind and experience together in that boat. It would always look funny. That was what made it special.
Nice project.... Just plumb the brakes together with an adjustable / lockable bias valve for the rear. A test drive with a few skids will soon get it set up...
Rather B Welding, Look you made the perfect place for Gas Tank, Above Motor / Shocks in that area, Weld you a FIREWALL above motor and put tank there. and you can make the Fill pipe come out the top of tank. So for Looks, I like it, it's YOURS don't worry what others think, they ain't there making it!!
As with some of the other comments, it probably needs to be thought about as a car missing a wheel rather than a bike with an extra one. You won't have the same weight transfer off the back wheel like it would in bike form, you'll always have a good amount of weight over the rear. Single proportional brake system would work well in this case and be much more user friendly. Do what you like though mate, you're the one that has to love it. I think it looks awesome. Wouldn't hurt to have a bigger rear wheel I think but will work just as well as it sits. Great build.
I think the whole design looks good. I would add like a curve from the bottom corner where the swing arm is, to the back tail section. This way, it flows well from rear to front. I wasn't sure about this build at first, but the more I watch, the more I become interested.
I think you should branch the top rails going towards the rear where they start to bend up over the tire. Make the new branch curve to the pivot point of the rear tire. You could also try making the bottom rails curve in and up a little more towards the back making the rear more stream line.
There is another long string on this, but I'd agree with them. 1 brake pedal dual master cylinder and a proportioning valve that's adjustable to the backs. Adjust it till its balanced. Don't over think it and reinvent the wheel here. Its gonna be cool and looking good thanks for sharing...
Roll bar bracing. Your thinking safety which is good. I have rolled my single seater at Silverstone. I suggest a web brace in the corner between chassis horizontal and roll hoop. In the event of a roll over you want maximum strength. Looking good. As for brakes I would personally prefer a dual system so you can bias it slightly to the front.
Nice job if ya don't want rear traction! Like I mentioned before two rear tires two separate swing arms right next to each other independently mounted right next to one another
That’s gorgeous, Chris... I sure hope you can get it street legal when its done... Way too nice not to be able to show it off on the street! It doesn’t look goofy from here! The lines look excellent!
Two rear swing arms Chain from engine to a mounted shaft with two bearing blocks and two drive sprockets to the rear sprockets on the wheels. I think it would work well with two rear tires with car tires and independently sprung. Probably look great!
Maybe do side pod radiators, like a F1 car? Also, I'm curious why the roll bar is attached that way? Wouldn't it be stronger if it matched up with the vertical bars in the frame?
I think you are right about the tail section, looks a bit strange. Almost like a dirtbike. I would chop it of at the crossbar. As for a fender, use the oem hugger the bike probably came with. That way you can design anything around a stubby tail. Love your work!
Perhaps you meant front brake first? That would be the worst thing to do. There is a reason why EVERY single vehicle has the front being more biased. A good amount of the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle despite all the weight being in the rear on his build.
Proportioning valve for the breaks. You need a windshield like an indy car. Just enough windshield to keep debris out of your face. The overall design looks good.
hydraulic handbrake- short throw, long lever for lots of feeling on the rear end, then have a master for the fronts Idk what it is about the honda swing/trailing arm deal but it looks funky lol
I would put those last two bars back in. Because the most important part of the cage, the roll hoop, isnt intersecting a triangulated joint. Adding those two pieces will help strengthen that area substantially. If you are running body side panels I would do a brace that intersects where the roll hoop meets the upper frame rail. Tie it into the bottom frame rail. It will look odd, unless it is behind a panel or scoop an out of sight, but will strengthen that critical intersection.
I have seen a rex still not that much gap and not that you could but if you could stand that thing up all the way on the back wheel it still wouldn’t travel that much I promise you that
motorcycles do link the front and rear together, cars have 2 circuits usually crossed but front and back is also possible. So the proper way to build this reverse trike is the same as race cars, 1 master for the front, 1 master for the rear and a balance bar in the middle with 1 pedal
as homemade mad ness said the tail dor the gas tank same suggestion i were thinking look's great though well done and keep up the great works all the way from the caribbean
I think the design looks awesome. Don't like the idea of the gas up front though. Perhaps a nice stainless fuel cell mounted over the back tire on top of that fender in that flat space would work well and not look bad. No need for a fuel pump or a long fuel line from there. I know you'll do a great job wherever you decide to put it. You could mount a brake light/tail light and license plate holder to the back of the fuel cell. Keep up the good work.
I really like the back half. It's the front that looks weird to me. It seems like the stance in the front 2 tires is too wide. I would definitely do the brakes all on one that can be tuned front and back. And I would definitely put the tank in the back. Looking really good! Love your work!
Hey Chris here’s a thought, I would put the gas tank in the back over the back tire and would also serve as a rear fender and you can bolt up a license plate to the tank either making a small custom bracket for the plate or welding bongs to the tank for the plate, see you on the next video.
Some motorcycles do have linked front and rear brakes (Honda VFR800 is one.) The rear brake isn't super powerful so you could add it to the fronts and maybe worst case have to run an proportioning valve. I had a thought for the radiator , you could mount it flat against the side of the frame just behind the seat which would keep the hoses quite short and just have a scoop on the side. You could enclose the sides of the engine bay and put a matching scoop on the opposite side. 👍
I was thinking it is starting to look like something Batman would have the Bat Trike or something like that. Looks like something designed in that concept.
You could fabricate a dual pedal for the brake, like a tractor. When you apply the right side, you get the rear. When you apply the middle or left, you get front and rear. Use an adjustable proportioning valve for the rear so it doesn’t lock up.

I agree
Yup it's madness to have separate brakes. It's not a bike!
can't he use an automotive master cylinder/lines
rear wheel hand brake
This is what I was going to say..
Rear looks good but needs a bigger automotive wheel-something wider and more substantial. Triangulate instead of keeping those curved 90 degree tubes at the bottom of the swing arm mounting location. Real nice rear area!
Yes, with this wheel that thing will have no traction at all, all three wheels need to be flat profiled and the one in the back the double width like the front ones, need to rethink the whole setup in the back except of he wants to build something to do uncontrolled spinning on one spot.
Exactly my thought on that rear swing arm area...
That back end is looking pretty good for sure, why not make a nice looking gas tank to fit in it? Thats what i did with my homemade 600cc buggy and it looks great. Also saves you from using a fuel pump
it also keeps him from putting the fuel tank in the nose of the frame .. which is just a poor idea as that is the primary impact zone on the vehicle..
Yes absolutely

@@bcfoley96 fuel pump
@@billsfanmc1786 That's an additional component. I like to keep it simple. Not saying it couldn't work though.
It looks great! Hopefully you can put some sheet on various spots so you could add a vinyl wrap with your logos and increase aerodynamics.
The back fits the design of the overall vehicle. Man that thing is big!

I think it's looking GREAT so far-
as far as both F & R brakes being on one pedal, I had a shifter kart with two masters off the one pedal, and it had a device hooked in so you could adjust a pivoting rocker between the masters on the pushrod to the front to rear brake bias on the fly as the brakes and tires warmed up - was easy to make and worked excellent-
I'd like to see a thin strip of LEDs as the rear brake lights, that would be beautiful.
OdiN put some stainless sheets down on it too call it the cyber trike 🤪😂🤑
Could just use a motorbike seat and tail. Then he gets a really freaking unsafe passenger seat too
OdiN Yes! recessed into the pipe above the rear tyre
@INORBET Yup and don't forget to hotglue a "magic mirror" for $50 into the dashboard to sell it as high-tech, an old android tablet does it aswell.

I feel like there’s an equal chance of the rear end coming around and getting wrapped around a tree so I disagree
ya but it could run down on the hot motor then kinda a hard ch on that one
using a bladder inside the tank would reduce risk of leaking in a wreck.
Fuel cell....not gas tank. They are different, believe it or not.
I like the idea of a tank in the back just to avoid needing a fuel pump.
Proportioning valve. You can run the front and rear off of the same pedal and adjust as necessary.
Edit: the build is awesome! Keep it going!
you just love adding excess weight to your projects.
Yeah, I thought all those extra bars are unnecessary - it looked just fine without them and I think he's adding more weight than strength.
Remember how that vf1000 buggy was supposed to be at the beginning? "a lightweight baja/sandrail one seater".
Fuel tank above shock in triangle tubes area. You only need maybe 1 or 1.5 gallons. Many benefits there
I know I respect a channel when I hit like before I watch the video. Great stuff, man!
I love the looks of this thing for sure and im glad you did the back the way you did
It exceeds my initial expectation! Impressive!

It looks great in my opinion. Might be a little heavy for that engine but it looks awesome
I'd say start with the much needed minimal amount of body panels, then slowly add on from there, taking time to look and feel out each phase
Man love your builds things you make are very cool can’t wait too see it Finish
Those front wheels and tires are an accident waiting to happen
A tank formed to the rear triangular section would be cool and practical, it would also keep it away from impact zones and any heat
Nice job if ya don't want rear traction!

This is looking cool 👍I cant wait to see the finish product
I'd like to see a cheese wedge fuel tank fit in the fender above the shock. I think you'd be fine with brakes on one pedal. Great work.
Back section looks great. Wouldn’t mess with it. Gonna need a fender of some sort anyhow.
Not a huge fan of the roll bar but definitely like the back end. great video
Two rear swing arms
Chain from engine to a mounted shaft with two bearing blocks and two drive sprockets to the rear sprockets on the wheels.
I think it would work well with two rear tires with car tires and independently sprung.
Probably look great!
don’t forget this engine might have to come out one day make some bars removable (keep up the good work)
"There is a reason motorcycles have seperate front and back brakes" I'm sorry but news flash you're not building a motorcycle here.
Yeah lol. Just needs a decent size master cylinder with 3 lines.
ShadowStal3er 0 or simply run 2 master cylinder 1 for the front and 1 for the rear. This way yon can adjust both
I feel safer with two separate brakes, with the possibility of triggering them together : combi brake system
1 tire fire
But...but....it’s going to get a motorcycle registration if he can license it. 😉
@@mathiscote3068 that's a good idea as well
Gas tank in frame over rear shock?
Maybe do side pod radiators, like a F1 car?
Also, I'm curious why the roll bar is attached that way? Wouldn't it be stronger if it matched up with the vertical bars in the frame?
I made a comment about that. He needs to look into what a tube node is. It’s simple roll cage 101 type stuff.
Tube node is the term I was looking for. Thank you. That roll bar wouldn't be very useful if it buckled the chassis bar and folded in.
I think you are right about the tail section, looks a bit strange. Almost like a dirtbike. I would chop it of at the crossbar. As for a fender, use the oem hugger the bike probably came with. That way you can design anything around a stubby tail. Love your work!
Cool build! The last bend on the tail looks weird right now, but I see the vision of taillight and license holder and should look good finished.
I think it looks great this way! Well done Chris! 👍😁
I like it! You have awesome fabrication skills!
Race cars use an adjustable brake bias. All brakes on the same pedal, and the bias uses a tuning knob to get the desired braking feel.
Looking great,i like the look on the rear end. Skin the frame aluminum panels . The fuel tank is good idea in the front
Love the way it's looking.
- fueltank above the rear shock
- make the breakpedal 2 stage, so the rearbreak kicks in first.
Perhaps you meant front brake first? That would be the worst thing to do. There is a reason why EVERY single vehicle has the front being more biased. A good amount of the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle despite all the weight being in the rear on his build.
Proportioning valve for the breaks. You need a windshield like an indy car. Just enough windshield to keep debris out of your face. The overall design looks good.
It is one off it LOOKS BRILL stop second guessing yourself your doing A great job cant wait to see it in paint and finished 💪💪👍👍😎
hydraulic handbrake- short throw, long lever for lots of feeling on the rear end, then have a master for the fronts

The gap from the rear wheel and the frame is way to much in my opinion
It needs room for the suspension to travel.
I build bikes and it will never never travel that much
I agree, too much gap.
Have you seen a T-Rex trike, or any modern sport bike? That's just the style.
I have seen a rex still not that much gap and not that you could but if you could stand that thing up all the way on the back wheel it still wouldn’t travel that much I promise you that

I like the back thing you added
beauty rear 0n'er!! i see room for the rad over the motor as described but the tank could go over the rear shock. I think it looks sweet
Now it finally began to look cool
Looks cool! Can't wait to see it running. Maybe on the road. I live close to you so it would be cool to see irl.
I love the goofiness!
I think that the roll bar is to high! It needs to be lower. To give the streamline affect!
that looks perfect man!

You could fabricate a dual pedal for the brake, like a tractor. When you apply the right side, you get the rear. When you apply the middle or left, you get front and rear. Use an adjustable proportioning valve for the rear so it doesn’t lock up.
