        Well, ya' done yourself proud, so ya' did, Don. It has "you" written all over it because you gave it so much thought, time and effort. I gotta tell you, though, I'm in love with those mags. They have spoken to me since before I could drive back in the '60s. Crager use to make those as well as chrome in that style. The paint is spot on and the rear, swivel seat is the bomb for your dear wife! I'll bet she's anxious to go for her first ride. Enjoy it, buddy. You folks deserve it!

          "Head shake" does sound familiar now that the description was mentioned. I rode for 20 years, and raced for a few years, and I likely just forgot about that terminology if I ever heard it. Could have been called something else, like wobble.

            Looks great Pappy. I really enjoyed following your post on the transition (even though I am not a biker).

            Have fun with it and as others said: Enjoy the RIDE!!

              Pappy,

              First things first. You are a 45 mile to / from New Braunfels?! I am seriously jealous! I love that area!

              Now to the trike... That is some seriously nice work you have done putting that together, especially considering the condition of much of the fiberglass when you got it...

              You should be proud of that machine, it is way better to build it yourself with pride than to just buy a turn key machine for sure!
