    New Tomahawk Seat

    Updated the seat. It's steam bent wood with foam, contact glued together. I also tilted the back section more upright, so I dont feel like I'm so reclined.

    Razor Scooter Head Tube

    I don't know about scooters, but I used kid's bikes. I found the head tubes are actually the same size as the adult bikes and are usually easy to come by because people are always getting rid of kids bikes really cheap once they out grow them.

    I used plastic pulleys from amazon used in on weight lifting machines, and they even came in a four pack. The chains, I bought 3 chains and joined them together to the right length.

    Warrior trike build: weight -vs- strength testing

    I'm a little late to the party, I've built 3 warriors and a tomahawk and I reinforced the rear wheel supports on all four and the front wheel arms on the warriors. I didn't do any kind of stress test or weight testing, I was more concerned with the frame holding together long term more so than...

    Fenders

    I am finally getting out to ride. Went on my second ride this season, this weekend. While i am enjoying riding, I think I'm going to change or modify the front fenders they still throw a good deal of debris onto my arms

    Fenders

    They're rant squad rims, i think its a bmx company i got them on ebay from planet bmx i think. The hubs were from ebay, and shipped from a sweat shop in china. I just searched for the specs the plans had and they showed up. I had a local bike shop lace them for me

    Fenders

    Went for two rides so far, I might need to tweak the front fenders a little, I still had stuff throw onto my arms but the back fender really kept everything off of me

    New warrior seat

    Final with foam glued into place. The foam is the anti fatigue mats they sell for flooring in a gym. I didn't want to risk shaping it with an angle grinder, after issues I had last time, so i used a ryobi hand held sander that uses half in sanding belts, it made it so much easier and cleaner...

    New warrior seat

    Wahoo, it worked. First test fit, all the bolts lined up, the angles weren't perfect, it required a little flexing to get it into place but it didnt break or crack at all. Interesting enough, this was four layers of 1/8" plywood, but it didn't equal a half inch thick, which was the thickness...

    New warrior seat

    My current seat is what's in the manual and I haven't had an issue with it so i don't think I'll be bothered with this one if it works out, but I'll keep it in mind

    New warrior seat

    Good to know, right now my plan is 4 layers, it'll be just under a half inch or 10mm, which is what my current seat has now. The strength was my concern, but I built my frame with 1.5" supports under the seat and back instead of just the recommended flat bar so hopefully it and the frame along...

    New warrior seat

    The seat was the part of the build I hated most, so I'm finally trying to make a new one. I'm steam bending 1/8th in thick wood and gluing layers together like a skateboard, then I'll glue foam on top. The original seat wasn't uncomfortable, but mine Just didn't come out like I wanted, I'm...

    Fenders

    I have no idea, I don't really know the workability of different kinds of metals, I don't even think the metal supply I go to carries titanium.

    Fenders

    Finally finished the fenders and figured out mounting brackets. Test ride is tomorrow and if all goes well I'll take them back off and paint them. Right now they're just sanded bare steel. (forgot to add the rear view)

    New seat ideas

    Now that its winter and riding season is over here, I'm looking toward what I'm going to work on, upgrade, tweak on the warriors I built. I'm finishing up fenders/mounting now and I think the seat is next. I have the stock foam and plywood from the manual and its comfortable, but I want...
