This is my 26in Drift trike. My second trike actually, sold my first to my cousin. This one is built by Steve from JoyRideDriftTrikes. Came with a Predator 212cc motor. Mongoose Dolomite Front end with a new 3T Neck and Salsa Bars. Oh and a govenor delete mod at the moment. Size comparison of the 26in fat tire to a 20in fatty The choice of rear kart wheels.. Matte black Some rear end work Almost done here Finished.. No longer sporting this pan however Had this trike about a week now and love it! Ordered some new parts for it and will be disassembling here soon to paint it. Going with a vintage military motorcycle scheme.

Decided to go with a old vintage military bike theme for the drift trike. Drab Olive green frame.. Black wheels/forks/bars/motor parts/sprocket and some gold or brass accents here and there to help give that "bullet shell feel". Going to use these two photos as some inspiration and guidance. Got some tear down done tonight with the cousin and frame is now primered for paint. Like that light source? Lol.. Bulbs in the garage weren't bright enough so... Light Bar! Hahaha. And a few parts in (valve caps/decals for stencils)

Sneak Peek at the trike. Got a new air intake in the mail yesterday and installed.. Installed a new jet that I forgot to take a photo of. Got rid of the red on the sprocket and went black so it would flow with the scheme more. Had my cousin shorten the new chain and install it. Looks awesome!!! Also decided the header needed some black on it. Used gloss black engine paint resistant up to 500Degress F. So it should be okay. Other then the front wheel getting respoked alls what's left is running the throttle cable and brake line. Putting the bars back on and bolting the seat down pretty much and she's ready to hit the road. Have a bike shop respoking the 26in wheel for me. For that I got rid of the red lip and went gloss black... Threw out the chrome spokes and went black aswell.. Did something cool with the nipples but you'll see that soon! Here's the teaser pic as promised

Well, trike is DONE and back together. For the exception of a grip on the throttle.. But this came in yesterday! That 26in wheel needed a bigger brake setup by far... Also got the wheel all done and back together! Wheel painted black, gold nipples, back spokes, gold Torx screws, gold 203mm rotor and gold 203mm rotor adaptor to make everything POP.. The stock small 160mm rotor Comparison between the two. 203mm rotor looks MUCH better on that big ass wheel. Gold adaptor Mounted.. Wheel... Much better.
