I have never had a build thread so I figure I will start small. I stumbled across a video that pretty much tore my nerves up and kinda scrambled my build priorities. Having a long history as a child with bigwheels, including several bumps, bruises, road rash burns and a trip to the ER with a broken collar bone, none the less I have been spoken to by my inner child. My build thread will be something different that you may or may not find interesting. I will do my best to keep it updated and I am in the process of acquiring parts so I will update as I go. I am by no means a fabricator and I will give full credit to @kyleg336 for any welding and his love for Taylor Swift on how to deal with all the haters out there. Stay tuned because hopefully local highway laws will be violated and pure childlike fun will be had. Here is the video that done it and hopefully my build will resemble these when finished.
 
Haters are going to hate. We have not got started on Infamous 1 yet he is still getting parts. But I got a good start on mind. Here a few pic.

Sorry about the special needs kid in the pic. He wanted to get a feel for it.

welll let's get started!!First off, thanks for the encouraging words guys!! Found my donor bike on clearance at the local battle flag hating wally word. It was missing a front inner tube and the steering stem bearings were overtightened and damaged, still I am happy with the less than a hundy investment. I repaired the bike and rode it for a few days to make sure I really wanted to start this project, remembered I hate peddling and made my decision. The front wheel tire combo will be 26" X 4". I flipped the bars around to see if they would work on the trike and that looked pretty good so I tore it down and mic'd the stem diam and length. Then I added our club name to the rim for a little flair. Here are a few pics.

running suspension up front or those solid tubes for forks? Suspension on one would be super nice, but could put a suspension seat and get almost as good.
 
it was a dirt bike front end that I cut down and made it soild now.
 
Love the cart, if I had somewhere to play with one I'd heavily consider building one.

As far as that girl, anyone that likes her for her "music" or lyrics is part of the reason this world is going to hell, just ask the guy from Boone :flipoff2:
 
I got a few more parts in (clutch, lower sprocket and chain) and ordered the brake setup. I will update with pics as soon as I start putting it together. It should go together pretty fast once I actually get it on the stands. I am going to try and go with a satin black powdercoat and have some of the old school pinstriping on it here and there. I really like that look, here is kind of what I will be going for as far as pinstriping.
