Ah yes, there is nothing like a big birds nest of wires followed by a few hrs of untangling it and many more trying to run them neatly and orderly! Then only to find out something doesnt work! LOL Good luck with it.

shiny stuff there, nice shop to work in, whats is with the dual tanks? will the front tank be dummied? Is that an old six volt system? It looks like it is comong together.

It a 12 volt system, the cycle tank will be a reserve for the main fuel tank. I need some suggestions on what to do with the area where the original bike engine was. Im thinking a diamond tread storage box with a built in liquor dispensor....any suggestions?

Endless possibilitys, you have both the oil bag and the gas tanks. If it is for touring extra gas never hurts. If it is to be used for tailgating/ camping, etc... that space could be usd for a small generator, just ideas.

Always wanted to try a trike. Kinda like building a hotrod and bike at the same time. Lookin good there,
Speaking of wires, the last guy wired my enfield with all red wires. IDIOT. Oh maybe there was a few black ones.
Keep us posted, like to see a smaller pic of the whole bike.

I like VW trikes. Have had a couple of friends who had built and rode them. What they did in that area was made a small dash.That had a few gauges,speedo,tach,oil psi.,nos gauge.LOL.I like diamond plate too. It getting $$ly though. Last time I needed a lot I bought cheap truck bed mounted tool box and cut it up. Great project.
