Good luck with it ewo.. vw's are great and cheap to work on. Theres a good Site called "thesamba" lots of teck. info and hard to find parts. Theres lots of new parts also. find a Air cooled VW club and join. you wont regret it. https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=hts&oq=&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADFA_enUS440US440&q=Indiana vw clubs

Hello Guy's
My Trike is all most done .I Got to Thinking as much as Sharon and i like to ride

The problem came when i got it home ...........
I Promptly found out i couldnt hold it up after turning into the drive and DUMPED it
My Back is shot and my left hip has no power anymore That's the reason for the trike
The Honda is for sale.

 

"BUT"

Yamaha Virago 1100 gold edition .......... With a Trike Kit already installed ready to ride .
We bought it last Thursday ...........
