Default New guy, building something wild (not a bike)

Howdy,

I only have the swing arm off of a 95 CBR900RR on my project. Its actually attached to a 2000 VFR800FI, and the front of that VFR800 is attached to a frame that holds racing seats. Hard to explain, but its a Reverse Trike. Check the facebook page for pics and such.

Im looking for a stock tire hugger to keep some of the rain out of the cab until I make a full body for it. I realize this isnt the place to post this, but figured it was a place to start and introduce myself.

Take it easy.

Unrelated to your request, do you have pics of your homemade tube notcher?

Thanks for the good wishes. This project is tough, but Im learning a ton. Once I get this project all finished, I will have much more knowledge and experience to build more trikes and make them better. Already got offers to build some for others.

I have the 50 buck Harbor Freight tube notcher that goes onto the drill press, but it doesnt do extreme angles very well (like 60 degrees). The notcher I made is just a belt sander with the right size dies on it, pics are in the "Parts" album. I just cut the pipe at the angle I want, then hold it against the belt until it fits flush. Didnt feel like spending a couple grand on a real unit.

I should have pics of everything. The one thing I was told by people who built stuff before is that they did not take enough pictures of the build. I am trying to save myself from the same regret.
