Thought you guys may get a laugh looking at a poor mans cable guide, made from a cable clamp.
Also had to make a longer support between car and bike.
1 1/4" DOM tubing with threaded weld in bungs.
Weld her up and install.
Installed.
Some exterior shots of the hatchback....car battery.....fuse box etc.
To do: Bleed front brakes......test rides and final adjustments....remove and reinstall a few parts that need painting......do something about the Moto Guzzi emblems on the saddlebags !!!!! Hopefully get all of this stuff done this week.

Solved my logo problem with my vinyl cutter.
And added some extra foot rest.
Still doing testing and adjustments this week.
Finally got the brakes bled.......pita with the upside down calipers, didn't think I was ever going to get all the air out.

- 2017 Rocket 3 R modified trike to take wheelchair
Very impressive, tidy shop not like mine lol. If I hadn't built the trike I think I would now have built a sidecar outfit. It would have been easier to load my wheelchair, a lower ramp. Did thousands of miles when I was younger on outfits.Hi Guys
For your amusement I am posting some pics of my Rocket sidecar build here. I started last week with building a sub frame that the car will mount to. The sidecar is one that I built 3 years ago, and is currently attached to my 2002 Moto Guzzi EV.
First thing I had to do was make a new axle out of some 20 mm stock
Then on to the sub frame....part 1
Here is everything mounted, along with a leading link front end, that I also built.
The most time consuming is aligning the mounts for the brake calipers, and of course I have ordered longer brake lines.
More underneath pics
Here's what it looked like before painting and installation.
Still have a lot to do before mounting the car........will keep you posted if anyone is interested.

Found a shifter on ebay for 50 bucks. I like it so much better that the heel toe. More room to rest my foot on the floorboards.
