Steve, you guys are too flippin' cool ! That was awesome!

Scrap the off the shelf springer, build a one off custom wider springer out of heavier stock, add the springs you mentioned and put a fatty tire on the front to avoid blowouts to balance it out. You know he's gonna slam that puppy over and over cause its a blast ! 👍😎

When I built mine as a teenager. I copied this older biker dude‘s VW trike. The next year he built another that was rigid frame. No torsion bar BS. It was very short wheelbase, no heat shields, the N50s were the suspension. He built a wide glide style front fork with 2 inch solid hex stock. The fork was rigid on the front. That trike was Bitchin. If I were to ever build another. I would do it that way. Maybe even flip the tranny over and have the motor in the front like a Goldwing or BMW. Smitty

Rofl the rake is damn near horizontal haha. Glad you're changing that. Will be sweet when it's done no doubt. The shirtless montage hahaha. Epic.

The only thing missing was the riding crop. Hilarious video. The trike took a beating!

One thing I can say you ain't going to break it where he gets done with it Steve is a welding machine❤ put some sunblock on that thing cuz it's going to hurt if you don't😂🤘

Man this was so wrong but so right!! 😂

Late 90's early 00's there was a guy here in Vegas that rode a yellow trike who sadly died in an accident. He use to always ride by my work, loved seeing it go by.

Love your channel. I built one of those when I was 13. For anyone who cares. They are a serious death trap. They do not steer. I had a front brake on mine that I could lock up. The front tire would just slide n smoke. On a down hill curve They will push you off a cliff. Cheers! Smitty, in Vegas

Yeah! Why don’t you go ride Sturgis too? On one of your bikes? And make sure you document that trip!

my neighbor had one called barbie killer, it was festooned with Barbie heads. He had a roof on the back that looked like a C cab with a bunch of skull cut outs on the back wall.. it would wheelie if you just breathed hard on it

...that wheelin?? - wonder it didnt brake again !?😆

Majestic. There is no other word.

Love it. It's totally him Steve. Only one thing I'd change. That springer fork set looks cool, with the skinny up front, but it woukd handle dropping back down better on a glide type fork set. Think a Harley Fatboy cork set, using a pair of Ford Radius arms, to add about a foot or so of length, and a wider front tire. What's on it wouod work with an older dyna or suoerglide, with a smaller rider, but your friend is substantial. Needs a little more beef up front. Reason I mention it is we built one for a friend that stands 6 foot 5, and goes 370. He almost trashed a Sugar Bear springer set, abd damaged the skinny front it came with, when he brought it to our shop. Ended up finding a wrecked 03 VTX 1800, and scabbing the neck, firks, front wheel and brakes, and extended the fork tubes that way. He can damn near get it verticle, and land with no issues. We also removed the foot throttle, and went with the dual cable hand control, as well as double discs, to aid on braking. And it still lopks cool, even though it's not old school. Wishing then both a safe trip, and we are going to Sturgis this year as well. Hooe we get to see it there, and take a closer look. First major rally since losing my leg in 21. Wife and I will run mom's Commando, and dad's CB 750, as the above knee amputation has me maxed out at midsize bikes currently. My 6th trip, her 2nd.

We need longer episodes please. More like the old Welderup episodes.

As a big guy myself, little advice, he needs wheelie bars and a triple pipe (Adding double pipe, into a triangle pattern, double on bottom) reinforcement on the front frame bike portion leading to main body rear portion, I am 6ft 3 and 450 ish, wavering between 440 and 460 depending on the time of year, happened to me once and hasnt happened again, and as a big guy popping wheelies is hell of fun. For front shocks we actually rigged a couple of Heavy Duty coil springs from some jalopies at the salvage yard.

Hey what’s up bro how are you much love

Far too fun... Had seen quite a few back in the day. Buddy had one he called "The Bitch", with a 2 person back seat & a roof. Seems like a couple of times each season he would proclaim " The bitch bit me !!". cause the front ends were so lite. Plus, we're up here near sand dunes in Michigan, saw a lot of those motors putting out 500+ hp in the 70's... Kool vid, great memories! Thanx !

Not a good position to sit in for hours. But extremely cool. A nice weekend boulevard cruiser. Sturgis.....trailer!?

So I wanted to ask Steve! I have a 6.7 Cummins. But what really is the best option for lift pump. A Fass or Airdog. And there is one im looking at is a black market performance. At a good price.. Thanks

Go see Danny. He would laugh for days after seeing this.

Black Widow would be proud.

Slap some wheelie bars on it so the big guy can really let er out.

Steve I love the boots bro I've been using the same brand Thurgood 4 years. I will 5 times a week fabricating I don't see how you do it with shorts on man my shirts look like they were attacked by a swarm of moth with all the holes in it

Bonjour Steve, 400 CV ans a 160 kilos lan on such a thin tricycle frame and forkn I wouldn't have ben suprised to have seen it broken in two pieces. Hopefully, your nickname is "Welderman" and nothing such happened. Between you and me, I am like you, I dont't undestand the interest for something which is huge, neither a good moto nor a good car. However, did you ever make any rat trike with a big Cummins in for a customer by example? Amicalement, Raphaël

Alot has changed on the trike since we shot this ,bigger motor ,disk brakes, fuel tank etc...
