nice one .keep thinking about finishing one i have in the garage. but too many toys already. if anyone is interested i have a mould for vw trikes ,aluminium tanks etc mould comes out in a gelcoat no painting. few sets forks .nearly enough bits for 3 trikes ,stainless buggy pipes. bars, switches ,.
used to build full time but packed in a few years ago .you may see kernow trikes still going around. have fun dave i did and still do .
worse thing is they charge for a car when you use a ferry .
cheers alan.
i take a dax in the 5er ,would like to take the drifter but its 8ft 6 long and weighs 300 and odd kg.

Now that IS nice John..looked around for one of those myself but never saw one for sale or in that condition...then i spotted the Rewaco on fleebay at a good Yorkshire price..Can i ask you who you insure with? because the brokers for trikes seems to be in the hands of one company...Adrian Flux...also how do you tow it?...The trike doctor does a jockey unit @ £285...Dave:thumb:

At the moment i'am on this forum>>http://www.yorkshiretrikers.co.uk/ Phoned T/D to get his advice on Rewaco spent about an hour...was very helpfull:thumb:
Part of my problem with ins is i do not have any ncb for bikes and i'm driving it on my car licence..so realy £450 on a 12k bike is not bad.
Because of front end weight on your trike do you use a ramp?..would not fancy lifting that lump on and off...Dave

best is use a single spec fitted to tow bar with extra bits welded on to keep it firm. you can driv on to them with a vw trike the front is so light. remember they are all illegal as it as back brakes fitted and should work .even on less than 750kg. i have traveled many miles with mine while delivering new or going to some shows etc ,never been stopped but could have been. have a good story ready you thought under 750kg was ok . once came home from a show and the clutch went on the van .so i had to power the whole lot from the trike while my misses steered the van it worked. very slowly though. have fun ,bet you got a smile on your face just thinking about going for a ride. cheers alan.

Yes Dave I have a ramp but rarely use it as the Harley engine is powerfull enough to push the front wheel up and I have reverse gear fitted so it also reverses off without ramp.

What you need is one like Emilys. Cheap to run, enviromentally friendly, keeps you fit and lots of fun

 

[dave jm]

hi, somebody is knocking up the type of spec frame i have here,much cheaper ,no wheels it does add abit of weight to van but not much as your main weight is on back wheels. they were on ebay or on an old thread on here i think .

 

[vwalan]

hi dave ,here is two ebay no.....250627819869 or 110525289945 both similar to what i have here i use mine with trikes and motor bikes .had mine years made it myself .copied an rac intertrade one. they have no brakes but never mind never been stopped ,,,yet,,, cheers alan.

How did you know my wife...she has all those factors

The one on E bay that Alan as given the details is no good for my trike as the weight of my front end would put to much load on my tow bar, but the one with the wheels from trikedoctor puts no load on the tow bar. You should be ok though Dave as your's a rear engined trike.

John.

 

[vwalan]

john and i had this discusion awhile ago .his front end is heavy and he didnt wantto load the van. .all i say is i,m sure you can lift your front end with one hand. i used to run a half beetle trike with the roof cut off ,still the front end was very light. hardly put anything on the towbar. the worst is the no brake bit. but as i say never got stopped and did lots miles towing trikes n bikes .to tow bikes you strap the h,bars to your bumper . my mate made an extra frame totie his up higher .

This is Merilyn's Goldwing trike. We take either this or my solo.

Nice outfit..What do you use for towing it on the back of m/h..got over my towing prob with the unit from Trike doctor but Movan's trike is auto and is at a lose as to what to use...wondered if you might have any ideas...Dave

 

[TheTwoOfUs]

We have an Excalibur trailer which is an American design made under licence in Germany on an Al-ko chassis.
