Almost There

The steering column and steering wheel have been mounted. The next thing in our agenda is to mount on the steering rack. Before mounting it, we have to delete the power steering from the rack, this would be done today. Also we would be working on building the pick up points for the suspension.

Engine on blocks and more welding

This week, we've done most of the cutting and notching. With regards to any bending, since the design was modified, most bends have been done and the load of work have been reduced quite a lot. The work for this week consist putting of the bike's engine on blocks and weld the pipes that have been prepared.

Final Frame Concept

After laying out all of our components and taking into consideration DOT size regulations we came up with our final concept.

Welding, Cutting, and Bending

The main hoop, the part of the trike's chassis which is consider to be the most crucial, has been welded. Small changes to the rest of the frame have been considered(but not finalized) to lessen the amount of time welding, cutting and bending as well as notching.
