Hi Guys,
I'm new here and wanted to show my toy and see what you think, but when trying to upload JPEG's the page freezes on me. I'll keep trying.
It took me more than 5 years to build me a trike based on the Chevy SB 350 engine.
if you're interested you can view the trike on youtube.com/user/ThePramatarov or on my website technikol.com

I noticed that smaller pics eventually go through.
I'll place some more, but you can also see the videos and info on the youtube and my web site.

and another one of the front brake - NASCAR borrowed wilwood 4-pot caliper and 1,5 inch (32mm) thick, 309mm vane rotor.
Evident is the size and strength of the front fork.
For the engineering minded - the torque of the caliper is translated into anti-dive reaction.
The amount of anti-dive can be adjusted by moving the bracket behind the damper up the fork for less anti-dive reaction and down for more.

Correction - the rotor is 1.25 inch - 31.8mm

South Africa mate, but working on projects like this don't make you money...unless there's a rich sponsor.

In order to sell something, someone must want to buy it. Over the few months I've had this monster, NOBODY asked if I'm selling it. Naturally for the right price I'll sell it right away and make another one, but my marketing skills are limited. Someone must be selling them for me, I can only built machines, not sell them. I was hoping that in the AE region with so many rich motor enthusiasts, someone would like to pay for V8 twin turbo stainless trike...Sell it and you get good percent commission.

hmmmm yup this place and US will be giving you loads of customers... and areas like Asia: China, Pakistan , India will be getting you cheap labours... once u start off wid selling... u wunt b having the time to compete with the demands... i would recommend to take this baby on motor shows... and sell it on a low cost at 1st ... and then start making profit once ur into this for real... i mean in the market... this thing has great potential as ur individuality will be ur success....
