Reliant 850 Coolant in Frame Trike

[Saex69]

This is going to be a slow build over 6 months, I'v been building Choppers and Trike's for a number of years so thought it's about time i built a trike for my self partly because i became disabled back in 2008 and it's getting hard to get my leg over a bike these day's but wild horses will not keep me from the open road. Hell No

Now that the main frame is done it's time to work out what goes were ie electric box, battery box and second fuel tank and there things to add one thing i must say is there is no chrome on this build ho no i do like shinny so ever thing is ether polished or made from stainless steel.

I was behind two last week. One I think was a straight four but had a very boxy frame, and in a ,not particularly attractive, camo paint job. The other may have been a Beetle powered, ape hangers and very low.

Looking forward to your take.

There is 1 on my street, it looks like they have just removed the body, and poorly customised it. It looks horrible.
I will try and get a photo.

Welcome to the forum. That's a very neat looking frame, all your own work & design?

A friends dad had a mid life crisis and bought a trike from a local trike builder, halfway down a dual carriage at 80mph it started to crab across the lanes, one of the **** poor welds to the axle casing had snapped leaving only one connection and the prop holding the back axle on.

Isn't that just a Reliant with the body taken off?

I like the exposed prop shaft that could cause you some injury's getting anything caught up, pile of junk

Maybe it's to reduce servicing time, grease the UJ while sitting at traffic lights?.
