That Final Push – Days 5 6 and 7
As the days countdown I now have only 2 build days to go till the trike goes for MSVA. This deadline has started a bit of a panic and I am getting worried. But I have a great team helping me and I know it will be ready for test!
That Final Push – Day 4
Today I managed to finish one of the jobs that I started last week, and that was the mudguards. I made a decision 2 weeks ago to postpone the test till 26th July. this is due to the fact that progress was to slow and the outstanding jobs where to great to make it to test […]
That Final Push – Day 3
Day three commenced with the usual circle of the trike to work out what needs to be done and develop a plan of action. We looked at the list, and it was suggested I started with the front marker lights and mount them on the rear mudguard.
That Final Push – Day 2
Following on from yesterdays progress more has been achieved. As you may recall I had made a list of 14 things that had to be complete before going to MSVA.
That Final Push
As you can guess there is still a lot to do and very little time to do it! With just 4 build days left I still have a very long list of things to finish off.
Go Go Juice Required!
With the electrics on hiatus until the rear mudguards are complete I moved onto another important step and that was to fit the fuel line from the tank all the way to the engine.
Just Keep Swimming (part 2)
Having left the main start power installed in the previous part, I moved on to the next step by installing the start relay and engine wiring. This means that these will be some of the longest running wires on the trike.
Just Keep Swimming
This week has resulted in some great progress on the trike.With the back brakes being bled and working, the other draft shaft installed and the throttle cable roughly routed. These things combined has led to the trike completion being set to 85% done!
Boing Boing – Part 3
As we had left the build with the A frames being assembled, it is now on to fitting those completed parts to the main frame of the trike.
Boing Boing – Part 2
Last time we had just finished the installation of the inner bearings on the A arms and had prepped up ready to install the outer bearings.
