Wicked 2008 Custom Trike

by Chris Newlin
(Valparaiso Indiana)

This is custom trike was one crazy build, from the chrome to the 1948 service car rear end. When I built this bike it all started with the handle bars, my customer saw the bars in a magazine and said build me a bike around these handle bars, no problem I said then we (or I should say) he decided , lets build a trike!

Well that changed everything, and I'm not a lover of trikes. So I said I'll build the trike if you let me build it my way. and the rest is history.

If anything could go wrong it did. The only part that is not customized on this bike is the gas tank. Every piece on it has some kind of customization done to it , The rear end is off a 1948 service car Harley, modified to fit a customized softail swingarm , it rides like a dream with the air suspension and handles like a sports car being 5' wide , love it or hate it it did turn out to be a pretty cool ride , Well thanks for the read, Chris Newlin Wicked Irish Choppers.
