Beautiful.  The paint work is stunning.  Whole thing flows with the lines of the bike.  🤩 

Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Yall have a right to see it finished. Rode it home yesterday. The ride is amazing, the handling is great. Steering is just right no shake no wobble.

Can take hands off the bars at any speed. Not recommended.

Stunning!

Is that a secondary fuel tank?  If so is it plumbed in direct, or does it feed the original tank?  My goodness that really came out beautiful. 

Are you going to this upcoming Rally in KS?  Would love to see this in person. 😍

Don't know about KS.

I did decide to get the 4gallon AUX fuel tank. Electric pump will pump it the main tank when you want to use the fuel.

The Fuel tank in Fabricated to fit under the shell but take no trunk Space.

Tank and switch. The AUX fuel is a $2,000 add on.

The Trike belongs to wife. I am just the driver a tour guide.

Nice, so you only fill it when you want to.  I like the freedom of that. 

Well.  Hope you can make it.  But if not I'm sure we'll catch up sometime.  In the meantime, sure hope you guys get out to enjoy every bit of the year possible. 🍻

@smitty901, I  too love the  auxiliary  fuel  tank, despite the  added 2 grand cost, but.....couldn't  they have  installed it  on the  left side of  trike,  rather than the  right side  ?

Oh....yeah....BEAUTIFUL  trike.....it came out perfect  !

@miles-ladue 

I would think they could put it on either side.  I do not know if it makes a difference.

I ask, because it seems to me that 93.14159% of all riders in the entire World, even Trikes pilots and sidecar drivers, stand on the left side of their motorcycle/trike/sidecar rig to fill their OEM gas tank, that it would make it easier to fill the aux fuel tank if it were located on the left side of your BEAUTIFUL new trike, rather than drag the fuel hose around to the other side of the trike, and fill the aux fuel on the right side rear fender area.

@miles-ladue  Most Gas station now days are setup for fuel either side.  The first time I pulled into fuel up I did like I always do, pump to left.  Caught it right away and moved to another pump.  I don't see filling AUX pump every time I fuel. If wife is with me I stop 150 miles or so. If alone I go 200 long as fuel is good and I know I have places ahead. The AUX for me is there as a back up. To extend distance in bad head wind,in places with few stations .

  I still ride a 1,000 day sometimes just for the heck of it. Fuel stops really cut in to the time. The AUX would help with that.

And..... after a phone call to Stephanie this morning, it turns out that the aux fuel tank can ONLY be fitted to the right side, as it is shaped to fit there.

I will need to add the triangle to fuel gauge like cars have that show what side fuel cap is on..

The main tank on my RGL is center the AUX is on right. If AUX needs fuel I just pull in like cars that are on right do.

As for dragging fuel hose across the paint, that would be a no go.

    I have the controller from Custom Dynamics that allows setting brake light and or turn signal to flash at chosen rates.

Put it on yesterday.  Was a simple plug and play just like before. Hannigan used the factory connectors.
