Another quality build.
We're always looking forward to what comes out of your shop, Gary.
Post some photos of this one as soon as you can. Thanks for sharing.

thanks again guys , sittin here gigglin a bit , Tim ..ah er ... Tom .... lol
Here it is almost ready for delivery still have to build the bed an dashboard , probably going to make those from oak boards or at least stain them with oak if those are too dark it will throw off the whole look of the trike . I will put up final shots soon before he picks it up .

That's a great gas tank! That's exactly the style I've been thinking someone could produce for the cantilever style frames. An inline tank on the cantilever frames looks good but doesn't hold very much fuel. Your tank is a great solution! Great build!

WOW hard to impress this crowd , lol.
how bout twin turbo china girl with a shaft drive an air bags ? hehehehe !OR a water cooled volvo v4 cyl in a worksman frame it could be the boss hoss of motorized bicycles !.

@ darkhawk if I can find a way to make those tanks easier I would mass produce them . but as it is now rollin them out on my wheel an all the hammer an dolly work makes that tank the hardest I have ever built . one thing for sure is their capacity, of the 2 sets I have made their capacity is right at 1 1/2 galons .

Dad gummit Gnu ya done and went and made me drool all over my keyboard! That is just a way cool lookin build.

I been lookin thru CL in many cities for a worksman bike and the only thing that comes up is 3 wheelers otherwise from what I'm told you have to wait 3 or more weeks to buy a new worksman. My ship ain't come in but when it does I'm reconsidering the 3 wheel setup now. Be easy to pull a trailer behind that thing. How smooth is the ride?

Very nice Gary. Are you gonna make the rally in Lebanon next weekend? I would like to look at one of your trikes so I can steal all the good ideas.
