This is an update to my control tube post of Wed., 01/23/08–added a few items.
I do not know if these are permanent, but likely. I added my cell phone and 2 jacks (1 strobe & 1 speaker switch) [so this tube can be removed without removing the wiring harness]. On the other end, I placed my GPS, with a cycling medallion at the base. To finish, I have spackling & painting to do.
To increase the cable length for the daytime lights.
Catrike has a tool called Calibro (Italian for caliper) to set toe-in. It looks cool, but has some cost. If I recall, from Dana, Bent Up Cycles, of $65. I thought I could mimic their tool using items from my junk box. I did. Picture to be posted when day comes. Dana advise that toe does not require frequent setting.
Composite of the two packs
In addition to being used as a trike work stand [to be validated] and VK2 work stand [validated], the stand is useful for prototyping items to be installed on the Catrike 700.
Of course, the 2 panniers provide additional storage space. I have a Fastback Systems 4.0 Hydration Pack [3-liter] and I’m adding another NorBack Frame Pack, which I will place on the frame, just in front of the rear wheel. I have one in a similar position on my VK2. I’ll use it for to store spare tubes and tire repair related items.
I have fashioned a “box,” actually tube [using 2" ABS pipe] for my AirZound Horn, speaker remote, speaker & strobe switches. 
Using a control “tube” like this reduces the items I have to place on the handle bars and simplifies mounting the devices on the trike. As I intend to mount it [on the boom, just in front of the water bottle bracket] , the devices will be at a function location. The wiring harness goes into the tube, connecting to the two switches [yet to be added in the drilled holes].
Ordered the lighting extension cables, indicated by violet in my Sunday 1/20 post.
As stated below, I’ve ordered the switches, but will not receive them until next week. I also have to add an end cap to the tube. It is water resistant. I intend to not seal the end caps so I have access for additions and maintenance.
Working with ABS/PVC pipe is fun. Just a thought–what if I only need to lift one wheel off the ground? Could I not do so with a stand of some type? I think so. Will this work? I think so. We’ll find out mid February. If is does, I’ll call it a CatStand. Validation pictures later. Stay tuned…
Larry Varney, BROL Co-Editor, has written an informative article, titled: Let It Rain [this article is no longer available at BROL] , on the new Catrike front fender. He likes to new support bracket; but, would like a longer front fender. There is a BROL thread and a Catrike thread discussing the article. The discussions are fruitful.
Given the above information, I have asked Dana, if he will alter my order to get the new brackets and 20″ rear fenders that I’ll alter for the front wheel. I’m up to the challenge.
Item(s) completed indicated in yellow below. Prepared [soldered jacks & plugs, added heat-shrink tubing, and placed in split loom tubing] wiring harness for speaker & strobe switches.
In addition, I placed the circular reflector on my shield, just below the DiNotte light bar.
