The flathead fits in there very nicely. Sits nice and low and looks like it belongs there. Looks really well designed and "together".

That has to be one of the nicest trikes I have ever seen. What an original idea! Thanks for sharing.

*Not knockin the bike builders on tv during the early 2000's but theres a big difference between something you built in 2 weeks for a tv show and something a guy spent a couple of years staying up late at night just staring at it for hundreds or thousands of hours deciding how to do it just right...*

Agreed, this is true craftsmanship

The flathead is the perfect V8 for a trike, smaller package because no overhead valves. I love the perimeter disc front brake! Minimalistic is my style also. Great job!

This is one gorgeous trike!. And I just love everything about it... The way it looks, the way it rides... Everything!. So thanks for sharing this with us all and I I hope that the owner is still enjoying the masterpiece that it is still today 🤞🏼.

Nostalgic, and very tasteful. A beautiful machine

What a great way to show that beautiful flathead and drive train looks killer 😎

I've owned Harleys for 50 years now I've never been a fan of trikes or a V8 bikes but I'd sure like to have the money to own that one. Very nicely done.with my favorite V8 of all time.

Had a Two door 53 Ranch Wagon straight pipes, same glorious sound

Most appealing trike I've ever seen, Kudos!

Love the sound of that V8. The style ain’t bad either.

Some of the early engines, like this flathead Ford V8, had what became known in hotrod circles as "Siamesed" intake or exhaust ports. What you are seeing on this engine is "Siamesed" exhaust ports on the two middle cylinders. And, yes, I am more than old enough to know what I'm talking about. I can remember when this engine was one of the hottest available.

I've never liked trikes but This may just have changed my mind. Beautifully designed. Looks and sounds wonderful

That trike is so well designed it looks like it was meant to be.

I admire the simplicity and clean design. Nice work.

OUTSTANDING! It even has early ford trans and narrowed third member for the rear.

that makes it even more cool, an all-ford antique drivetrain. i think it's a v8-60 but not totally sure..

No other engine sounds like a flathead Ford! It was the original hotrod engine.

Love the distinct sound of the ole flatties!

I've been looking at V8 bikes, and this trike is my favorite V8 motorcycle. The look of it is way better than the Boss Hoss with Chevy engines. The flat head just looks so good.

It does, bet it cost for fabrication and rebuild motor. I saw a rebuilt flathead on marketplace over 3 thousand bucks. I bet you could do this for 8 thou or less. If you did all the work yourself lot less

Beautifully done and has a satisfyingly consistent aesthetic. I wouldn't want it, personally, but it's one of the nicest car-engined trikes I've ever seen.

LOVE THE SOUND OF THOSE FLAT HEADS , SWEET MUSIC TO MY EARS ! GREAT JOB !!!!!

This is the best trike I've seen, good taste, very neat, incredible.

Been riding for years without training wheels but after seeing this I would take them. Love it man. Mix of a trike and a bobber.

wow, what a sweet ride, classy engine choice, nice proportions, not overly chromed. Great Looks and great sound. Wish i could afford one like that!

Them old Ford flathead V8s sounded really cool, if you didn't muffle them too much. Great trike!

I love it...wish i could build one just like it..welder/fabricator...love old Flatheads too...man he did an excellent job...this is best custom 3 wheeler i have ever seen..and i seen a few..great work..clean..sounds great! Like the reverse too.

Definitely one of my favorite trikes I've ever seen, wouldn't change vary much.

Definitely a unique build. Well done! I love the idle of the old flatheads. It sounds like popcorn to me.

I've always wanted to build a hotrod with a Ford flathead but this is beyond hotrod cool!!! - I've built a few bikes..... But this is an incredible job! I literally dream of this trike and can't stop👍 I think I've watched 50 times and shown this to all my buddies.

This is very, very well done. The only trike I'd ever consider riding. Love every aspect of the design and style.

That's the slickest trike ever made right there.

Awesome trike, those flatheads look so minimalistic and yet sound amazing.

sweeeet! shorten rear,tractor seat,3speed with reveres. Nice work, all the small details makes it come together. the frame work alone , sweeet.

Very neat ,so well thought out. And so cool to see a flattie in a trike !

That is what you call a well made trike, this is amazing lol can't think of one thing I'd change without knowing every single spec xD looks phenomenal.

I'm not a trike guy, but I would love to ride this one! I remember seeing it on eBay last year. I want to say it sold for $30-$40,000.

I'm not into trikes but that thing is beautiful

I'm not usually into this style of bikes, the chopper look, but this one is definitely an exception. Good design makes it look right. Like others have said that V8 is meant to be in that trike.

Excellent retro build ,suicide shifter, sheet metal and springer flow together almost like its a Ford production trike , Henry Ford would be proud !

beautiful! I simply love the flathead sound! Great project! Nice shape, all around! Perfect color choice! Gorgeous trike, to let Jessie James turn green on envy! Yes Sir!

That looks good and sounds great with that old flat head in it.nice build

Very clever! Nice job! I'm a bent-8 nut, currently have a '30 A hiboy with 284" '47 Merc, '39 top loader ,etc. which I built. All original part, late 40's hotrod. Also have a fully restored, stroked '55 HD Servi-car. Looking for a new project, and you may have inspired me with this deal. I love it! I'd like to do one with the little V8-60..

Love the look of a flathead V8 motor.

Good build and then the sweet sound of the flathead . Bravo.

Personally one of the coolest bikes I have ever seen on KZread thanks so much

Now THAT trike is 8 up man! Love the sound of a Ford flatty.. Boss!! Thanks for sharing your unique ride. Love the complete drive train and reverse!!

Nicely NOT overdone..sometimes things come out just right, who doesn't love a Flathead Ford, with correct Trans, Rearaxle, etc. Good looking job on this trike!!

diggin' the Offy headz on this baddassery old school...out standing mail carrier...

Great use of a flat head Ford. You can see the engine, it sounds, looks, and it is running great.

Outstanding job on that .

Now that is one well designed bike. Kudos to you.😁👍🌟

awesome build. great design.

Whilst the V8 flattie is taking all the attention, I have to say I love the way the front brake is set up. The perimeter disc really gives a clean look to the the wheel and forks. I'm guessing it's a Buell set up, but then the wheel looks too big. Brilliant, anyway.

Flathead is absolutely a beautiful engine!

ove the Chill sound from the Flat head. bta the look of the engine fits very good to a chopper. Nice build Nice criuse bike, driving this at low RPM i could do every day

looks great! first trike ive thought looked amazing. with an engine like this a trike actually makes sense!

Nothing like that flathead sound. AWESOME

laughing so hard when people said it's v6 because of the exhaust port. they know nothing. hahaha

Saw this trike 3 years ago on e bay it had just been posted took 5 minits to place my bid and offer and it had already been sold. It still my home page pic. What a beutiful machine.

This is very nice. And it's a flatty too. Outstanding.

Now that is a classy trike! Well done!

The rear end, and the radiator make it look like a hod rod, or roadster, very cool rig.

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen

This is the coolest v8 trike I have ever seen, it's perfect.

Love those old Ford flatheads. Had on MANY years ago in high school.

I love trikes and I love flatheads .....love that machine !

Beautiful peice of work!

Cool as cool gets right there! Great workmanship, great ride!

Built in foot warmers. Love the springer front end. Nice!!

Straight up awsome build, sounds as good as it looks, the only thing i can say is, " wish it was mine" thanks for posting.

I bet you won a lot of awards at shows

Well done! Beautiful! Thank you for the upload! Hope you still own it and are enjoying the ride!

Beautiful! Very well done. I'm impressed.

damn nice trike,,you built it over the TOP,,,extracool,i love flatheads,,i have one in my 52 ford panel

Wow. Awesome trike. Well done. Cool at a whole new level. Do a detailed walk around. I’d sure like a closer look.

wow,absolute work of art.beautiful.

A very nice build. 👍 The engine looks like it belongs with the trike, and isn’t a HUGE hp build to incorporate too many other measures.

That is an amazing piece of work, well done, I would park it next to me old Road King any day.

Man! That thing looks sweet and sound AWESOME!😎👍

Orange county choppers don't have nothing on you. That thing is awesome. Great job.

what's amazing, is that it looks like it was born to be a trike motor! :D that's crazy, so many others are so obvious about how out of place they are in a bike or trike, this beauty just plugs in and owns it. ( hope you know what I mean, because I don't mean to dismiss the many hours of labor it took to create the home for it, that kind of thing can't even be quantified sometimes.incredible work, man, just epic. everything is perfect!)

Been a while since I watched this one. I always enjoy it.

Exceptionally well put together

Best custom I've seen for years!

Usually hate trikes but that's gorgeous. Love flatties.

that's destroyed me jocks, cheers for the wet patch.

it splashes you pretty when you go through water

Very very nicely executed and sweet flathead sound and look.

coolest lookin' trike i have ever seen.

Wow thanks so much proposing that is one cool looking rig

Very clean. Sounds great!
