There was a small gas leak that caused the air bubbles. I fixed it though.

Nice looks great

 

[2SlickNick]

Thank you.
It does look great but ride like crap!
It pushes very hard in the front wheel and turns like crap. There is a fellow member at OMB that did the same thing but used a 32" axle.

He says it rides and turns pretty good. I will order a 32 axle real soon and report back.

Other than a brake cable and a different jet, The DB 30 Trike is complete

No problem glad you enjoyed it.
LMAO!
I did build it for her....sshhhh. I am sure I will ride it more than her though. . She said it looks cool and hopes it is safe. LOL.
I will hook the brake cable up tomorrow - then she will take her 1st ride on it and tell me what she thinks.

Don't worry I will video that too.

That's a cool little build man. Nice work! Looks like a lot of fun to ride

 

[2SlickNick]

Thanks guys!

Well I rode the crap out of it today for about 2 hours alone and with passenger - had a blast!
Later I go get the wife so she test it out. She sits on it and says "It is cool, babe"

Mind you she only rode the mini bike when it had the stock 97cc engine.
I instruct her to wear a helmet and go easy on the throttle - ya ya she mutters and pushes me aside.
she gets on it and just twists the throttle all the way... Next thing you know the trike is high noon with the front tire over the hood of the mini van and wife is on her a$$.

She thought she broke her leg and walked inside. She comes back out 2 minutes later and says " this is crap I can do this "

Well she did ride it... Very timid, slow and scared like.I walked by her as she rode it 2-5mph.
I did not get vid, but should have....I thought I would get vid once she is comfortable riding it - missed a Kodak moment.
I do have to touch up the paint on the rear grab bar now where she scraped it.

Pic of all my minis just for shatz and giggles.

Man I was just giving you a hard time yesterday about "wasn't this for your wife". You can thank Landuse for pressuring you into that! JK
Sounds like she is a good sport though. It is way cool that she got right back on! You got yourself a keeper.

 

[2SlickNick]

LMAO thanks! We'll see how it plays out....
