Progression in time 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
OK I think I have done the last change of this 2000 R*'s life. It has changed several times over the past 10 years since I rode it off the show room floor. It is now being handed to my wife for her to ride. The trike conversion was built by me. This was not a kit. I built a swingarm off of the original swingarm and mounted the body to the differential so that the fenders and body would fit close to the tires. Low & Mean Look!





A special Thank You goes out to Jay aka(Ultrastar)for his help with this project. Also a special Thank You to Tony (aka grinderEFFE)he donated a shock since mine blew out!

There was a lot of welding to join the fenders to the body. Plus I installed a flushed LED light bar. So many hours went into the body work.







This is a picture of the changes over the years.

That looks great!! I do have to ask about the exhaust It looks awfully close to the ground from the rear veiw. Is that just the camera angle or is it close to the ground?

It is rather close but it doesn't hit. I call it the road duster exhaust. When I start the bike it will sweep all the dust out of the way. LMAO!
I decided to name the bike TRISTAR!

Wow that bike has definitely been through some changes. You must be proud of the end result - it looks bad ass! How does the wife like it?

She loves it. It's great watching all the rubber necking when you ride by! I think it's the color that really grabs their eyes.
