    The Story So Far.

    Well I've just had an update from the Trike Shop, and in a nut shell this is what happened. The diff the company sent wasn't the diff for my bike, it was for a Suzuki which is being triked. My diff was the first one ordered, four weeks later they ordered the Suzuki. The gearing in the Suzuki is in reverse to the F6B, so it was running the wrong way round hence the big hold in the casing. So now MY diff has been fitted and the conversation in now complete . I have some great pictures which I'll post on here tomorrow. So it's all done and is looking great. Cheers Guys.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    Paul--

    I've been meaning to ask...looking at your Avatar, are you a musician too?

    Back to the subject--No doubt, you have one special machine there I hope you have many enjoyable hours riding it.

    One nitpick I noticed...the 960 running light on the photo left side appears to be installed crooked. Having done that install on my bike, I can see how that could have happened. Unless this was some kind of optical illusion caused by the camera, you might want to have the guys correct that. Congratulations on finishing this cool project!

    Cool Will Point

    Thanks Hornblower I will ask them about that. No I'm no musician I'm afraid, but I do host a Blues show on my Internet Radio site.

    Looking Good

    Looking good Paul.
    Great to see that the Trike shop completed in time for Christmas. I like the way the build kept to the spirit of the F6B rear end shape. Fantastic job, I know you are going to love it.
    Hopefully the next photos will be you sitting on it with a great big smile on your face.
    Enjoy................Bob.

    Paul, it looks good.

    Recommend a Front Fender Extender...as you can already see the road grime being thrown onto the front of the engine from the short front fender.

    There are several of them to choose from. I went with the Fenda Extenda, which is a flat black, and works real good for me. It is easy to find the "chrome" one, but...then you either have to paint it black, spray it with Plasti-Dip, or...join Steve in the QFC gang.
