You talking about this

This is what i was building before I got the brilliant idea to build my own faring

It was a rear engine dragster a buddy had laying around and I thought it would make a cool trike. I have been working on it off and on for about 4 years

After I get the faring done I realy want to finish it this year

dmyers · 03-11-2012, 04:58 PM

Finally got my first set of bars done.
I wish they had a little more droop at the handles but I'm prity happy with them

I will take them to work this week and paint them they are just sanded and blended in these photos when I get a set I'm totaly happy with I think I may get them chromed

This is a small sample of the pipe I went through to make the bars

I will be offering some for sell after I get my bike back together
Everything is on the back burner till I get the bike back together
I hope this week

dmyers · 03-12-2012, 10:59 AM

Thanks,Bdog

Rolled the bike outside tonight so I could get a better view.
I have to ruff in the lower part of the inner faring yet but I think I can have it off the bike by the end of the week
I think it will look prity cool

Bdog · 03-13-2012, 09:57 AM

I like the way you in corperated the crash bars (into) the fairing..nice touch.

dmyers · 03-13-2012, 09:27 PM

I just copied the idea from the vaquero
It was a elegant solution to the problem

dmyers · 03-19-2012, 07:31 AM

got the bike back together with the new bars mounted

The bars work good. I'm beginning to think those kuryakarn grips are designed more for form over function though. Those dam bumps are annoying

Looks awesome!!! I am wondering about the lower chin? Will it clear curbs / approaches? Seems abit low? I know my Venture would scrape if the air was low in front forks - until I put progressives in. Just a question - wouldn't want to see a beauty project like that get ruined by soemthing simple!! Keep up the good work!!!

Monkeyman · 03-19-2012, 10:30 AM

What's covering the bars?

dmyers · 03-19-2012, 10:55 AM

It is a paint effect called marbilizer
the best way to describe it is it looks like black marble
it is a prity cool effect.
