Okay, here we go: fender [actually about 3" longer] is in place, now with a different neck rest [Trice Adjustable Neck Rest] and flag display bracket [custom design]. Insulated bladder is in the storage well and drink tubes are in the newly placed pass-through holes [with rubber grommet]. The tubes do not stay in the little notches made for them. I’ll take care of that when the fairing is back from repair. Inserting a 3-liter bladder [1/2 full] is a bit of a challenge. Did I say the neck rest is more comfortable than the original neck rest?
As to fitting, I think I’ve done all that I need to. The hose clamps to hold the faring at the top of the seat are not in place. Clicking on a photo takes you to flickr where you can see an enlarged photo for more detail [there is a description with each photo]. Without the clamps, you can see more clearly how I shimmed the fairing mount. I’ll use rubber that I cut from an inner tube to protect the finish and increase friction between the clamp and the fairing. I may paint the clamps or find some way to blacken them. I’d rather not have the bright stainless steel.
I trust the series of photographs I have uploaded and posted to my blog since I received the fairing, although damages, allow you to have a better idea how it looks [including the inside] and will help you decide how you may integrate one on your trike. The best. –jim















He searched for the previous best solo unsupported bicycle ride he could find is Robert Seitz who did 4,000 km in 14 days across Australia with his M5 Low Racer, towing a luggage trailer. It is the words of Brams Moens: "We think this is an absolute record. Is there anyone who thinks he can beat this?" That lit Pete’s fire.
