Trike:
I took the trike up to my buddies shop where I have been working on Woodie. He has a gas welder and it makes me look like I can weld so I did some fabbing on the trike. I got the rear fenders and mounted the shock seat you see in the pictures. I tried to make it work but the seat was hurting my a$$ so I took it off and welded me a StingRay seat on it. I welded the back half of the stretch tube as well. I used bolts on the front so I can adjust it when I need to. I got a new bigger crank for it and longer APE handle bars!

Woodie:
I got the dash temporarily mounted until the GPS speedometer, stop light and head light switch show up. I have all the wires ran for the lights + I hooked up the horn. I'm thinking about redoing the whole dash area. It has just a small piece of plywood for the dash now as seen in the pictures. I'm thinking some kind of nice hard wood cut down and have the dash made out of plexiglass inserted into the wood.
