Hello there peeps, My name is Kraig, I'm from Australia and I have just about completed by 1st build, just waiting on powder coating, then I'll put it all back together and start sliding ! Ill throw up some photos of the build. My background is a mechanical engineer & fitter & turner, I have built my trike at home in my shed, I have really enjoyed it as I have only built it from a couple of photos I found online, I couldn't find anyone in Australia that sold or built these. At least by building mine I could custom it to my size I've used 25mm dia stainless tube with mandrels for the bends & tig welded most of it Engine is a clone of the Honda GX200, a company in Brisbane (au) has helped out with a lot of the parts and info and they supplied me with the motor, it's had the governor removed and the carbi upgraded, it delivers 10hp as opposed to the stock 6hp ive used a 12 tooth clutch and runs a 59 tooth drive shaft sprocket, it's got plenty of poke in it like I said I shall throw up some photo soon.

Sounds like an awesome build Kraig! Thanks for sharing. Be sure to post some photos of your trike in the "Show Us Your Trike" thread in the general discussion area. I like the GX200 motor you went with as I know the gx160, gx200 and the predator 212 motor all share interchangeable parts for the most part. I actually just bought a header that's for the gx200 motor to put on my predator 212
