XC204...i am so digging the Coca Cola wood crate. is that where the batteries will be placed? maybe in a fabricated trap door in the middle? is Skipton still planning on using the 7up cooler?
 
Re: Etrike...Islndr102/Skipton/XC204/Oldgreaser...Worksman

With the batterys and all of the extra stuff electronicsthe cooler is way heavy. It would be a bare to lift.
 
Re: Etrike...Islndr102/Skipton/XC204/Oldgreaser...Worksman

i totally agree...Skipton, thanks for the cooler, but that is worth way too much to damage. plus your white/red colored trike vision can still work with the Coke crate. i'm sure Oldgreaser will add unbelievable uniqueness and style. XC204's fabrication is legendary.

Chicago/Indiana RRB is definitely a Superteam...

Got a little more done on the rear box/battery area today also painted controle box. I think I will hinge the lid. Rick the lid measurements are 11.5 x 18 inches 1/2 " thick.

Re: Etrike...Islndr102/Skipton/XC204/Oldgreaser...Worksman

Passed the trunk/battery box on to Oldgreaser (Rick) yesterday he has some neat ideas for finishing it off. I did a few things after work I pressed out the stub of shaft in the freewheel, it sounded like a 22 firing when it finally let loose pow! Knocked out what was left of the bearings and straightend out the axle tubes so they lined up.

Gary...did the axel and fenders get to you yet?
 
Re: Etrike...Islndr102/Skipton/XC204/Oldgreaser...Worksman

Gerry from the tracking it looks like Mon. When it gets here I'll be able to do the final drive alignment and paint my end.
 
Re: Etrike...Islndr102/Skipton/XC204/Oldgreaser...Worksman

will the fenders stay chromed or painted?
 
Re: Etrike...Islndr102/Skipton/XC204/Oldgreaser...Worksman

Did the last of the frame fab today I added a tab for the chain guard, mounts for the control box and added a new loop between the axel tubes to keep them in alignment better than they were. I think I'm all done working the frame over. Need to remove a few rusty spots and paint it.
