The wife's trike and my work ....sorry for the bad cell phone pic guys (and gals:) I will update when the new mirrors come in and if I decide to put on the fenders, right now I kinda like the mad max look of the exposed tires LOL...ultimately it will be the wires call though and thanks to all the help RapidJim gave me while I was modifying and tuning the trike! -Rear tires 160$ www.palmettospecialtytire.com/ser....Tire-for/Detail-Front tire 80$ Pirelli MT66 Route Tire - Front - 3.00/18 (ordered from Amazon) -Uni-Filter and jet kit (125 and 130 main jets) $30 www.BuggyPartsNW.com-Kuryakyn Iso grips 65$ From Amazon -Mirrors $50 From Amazon -Emgo slash slip-on mufflers 100$ www.amazon.com/Emgo-Turn-out-Univ....9031509&sr=8- 4 -Tires mounted and balanced, state inspection, A-Arm repair and 2nd overall look by shop $400 -Misc. RTV, grease, Loc-Tite, filler metal, 12 inches of pipe, and misc nuts/bolts....maybe 20$ -New fenders and paint/bondo to finish them properly will be about 150-200$ -Black door edging $20 All said and done I'll have put in around 1100$ and more than a few hours of time but when you figure I only paid $4K for the trike and the next closest thing is around 15-20K, I'm pretty happy.

Mounted trailer fenders from tractor supply (80$ each) after I cut/ground them to size and fabricated new mounts with rubber buffers and such. ....Also mounted a Guardian Bell for my wife who was very happy with the new fenders! Now, we care debating on colors....should we black out the fenders or paint them a nice silver and paint the front fender silver too??? any thoughts appreciated! Attachments:

My opinion is you should paint them black to match the front fender and gas tank. It would make the chrome bars in the back show up even more. Just my opinion. I really am not a fan of black because it is hard to keep clean.
