    FJ1300RT Reverse Trike Concept

    Nice man! Good to see you out and going now. I still have not put reverse on mine and I don't think I ever will. I don't think it's needed. You just have to keep in mind not to park nose down on an incline and your fine. always look for the "pull-through" parking in the parking lots. It's...

    Weird, if it helps diagnose the gravity issue; it has never happened to mine... Only other thing I could think of is maybe air in the line.

    Awesome man congratulations on the completion!! Now we'll have to ride together some day... I think I'm headed to Sturgis this year with the trike and another guy who is just finishing his trike down in Colorado Springs. Maybe you could make it too if you're interested?

    FJ1300RT Reverse Trike Concept

    Glad to hear you're making progress. I had a blast on my trike this summer! You'll love it when you finally get on the road! Yeah I had that problem but I just started adding washers to the push rod that the pedal connects to until I got the right amount of travel. Initially I did have way...

    Reverse Trike

    Well it's finally starting to get nice out so I can go ride more so I'll finally be able to get up in the canyons and get some good video of corners. I've been riding quite a bit and having a BLAST! I cannot believe the amount of attention this thing draws. People are constantly taking...

    Reverse Trike

    Thanks, yeah it's actually really really smooth, it takes bumps really nicely and it drives straight as an arrow down the freeway. It's comfortable and easy to drive. I'm actually a little surprised with how nice it rides, I sort of expected more of a "homemade" feel to it but not so much.

    Reverse Trike

    Ok guys here's rough video of my first trip out on the trike. It's not full of music and action scenes yet... :) but it at least shows you how it drives. I'll have a better more exciting video out in the next week or two once I get enough footage. Hoping to get some good mountain corners...

    Don't worry, hopefully a few more days and I'll have some. It's been chilly here and this Sunday is supposed to be really crappy too so we'll see.

    Reverse Trike

    Good point. I have a 13 yr old daughter and I thought for sure she would want to work with me in the garage but not so much. She does a little but not a lot. She rides a quad and loves camping. She's a rock and roll lover and she prefers to dig in the dirt and collect rocks over playing...

    Reverse Trike

    I typed this up yesterday but hadn't posted it because I had to take off to go to the DMV but figured I'd post it now so my updates are in order. Update: I put the trike on a trailer and ran it down to the State Patrol office yesterday to get the VIN inspection done. As I walked in sweating...

    FJ1300RT Reverse Trike Concept

    Actually I did end up replacing it a few weeks ago and rewired it properly just to be on the safe side. Also wanted to thank you guys for the help, I jumped the brown/red wire with 12v and I now have a Neutral light! Woohoo.

    Reverse Trike

    I would love to show up at one. Hopefully this thing proves reliable and sound and then I will definitely plan to show up at one. I'll have to find the schedule again and see when and where. LOL, people keep asking me that, or "would you build one for someone if they offered enough money"...
