Seat modifications were easy, allowing seat to set on the frame. 4 of the 6 rubber feet were removed. Future plans are to lengthen the console to meet the tank. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The 08 styled seats are better made and designed in my
opinion. |

Horn Relocation and Upgrade |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The OEM Horn was removed and replaced with a chrome skull for looks. A 135 Decibel Air Horn was mounted within the rear fender. The curvature of the fender would direct the sound down towards the ground. |

1 inch rubber mounts were used for securing the fiberglass body to the
steel frame. Allowing a reduction of vibration and possible fatigue caused at these points. |

Body Adjustment |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
With the front of the body cut out
to allow for mounting on the Trike. The lid wouldn't fit correctly. |
Turn buckles were used to adjust and hold the body in it's correct position. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Just the passenger back rest from
the Tour Pac was used to portray a roll and tuck custom look. |
The lid was then cut in predetermined places to allow for correct
placement of the lid. |

Exhaust Pipes Extended |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Khrome Werks Mufflers extended past the trike's body, only by a 1/2 inch. It became necessary to extend them 6 &1/2 inches. I had used a portable band saw to remove the ends off an existing older set of the same. This allowed me to continue the chrome look of the tail pipes. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Below shows the space between the bumper and the trike body. I plan on making a panel that will fill this area. Just like the extended bumper look of the late 50's cars. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cargo Area |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is a challenging area. The trailer's body was just a shell and a water tight compartment is now in the process of being built within the trunk area. This would also yield an access panel to the horn's components. |

Angle Iron Cross Brace | Splash Panel Front | Cargo Compartment | Splash Panel Rear | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
I had formed a splash panel to mate to the base of the passenger's back rest. When the body's lid is closed. The bottom edge of this panel will set down in a formed pan that is mounted between the passenger's seat's underside and the fender's surface. This seat bed pan (sounds like the right name for it), will direct water down towards the pavement. |

LED Tail Light Modifications
The LED array that I have to work with is 2" in
diameter and had to be mounted in this larger 3" diameter opening.
I found that a medium sized Hellman's mayonnaise plastic
jar lid actually fits perfectly inside the 1937 Ford tail light housing.
I used the adhesive pictured below to
mount the LED array within the jar's lid.
After the glue had set up I again glued the lid with the LED assembly into
the Ford Lens.
This glue is is the best I ever used. (4 years ago I glued new soles to my biker
boots and never used tacks and their still holding) I also spray painted the
inside of the lid black.
In the pictures below, from left to right. The first is how well that lid fit into the tail light housing. The fit doesn't get any better than this! The second picture is with the LED's lit up. They are red and when looking at them with the naked eye, again their red. But when photographed. They look white. This is even so with the red lens cover on it.
