We built him the seat but added a lot more details than he
was originally asking for.
|
We wrapped the tank in leather and stitched a spiderweb
design. Check out all the stitching.
|
We built a spiderweb accent panel to compliment the flowing
lines of this radical chopper styled trike.
|
|
The fenders are stitched in a scalloped
pattern then wrapped in leather. The side panels have a
windswept look to the web.
|
The installed seat and accent panels. We
carpeted the passenger foot rests.
|
The rear seat is deeply rolled and pleated.
The spider web continues across the backrest. We thought that a
dagger would complete the look.

tail light wiring routed inside the leatherwork.

How we made the
wildest trike.... |
|
We boxed the frame with plywood.
|
You can see the steel seat framing.
|
We began cutting the plywood into our wild spiderweb design.
|
|
Most of the cuts have been made. It is really taking
shape now.
|
The view from the front.
|
...and a view from the rear. We had to incorporate the
wiring for the brake and tail light assemblies.
|
|
We started to apply the foam padding. Note the cutout
for the suicide shifter that will be incorporated into the
drivers seat.
|
Shaving the foam for a perfect fit.
|
We sculpted the drivers seat foam into a 3-dimensional
spiderweb.
|
|
Grinding the foam is a messy job but the results are
spectacular!
|
All the foam is in place. Ready for stitching and covering.
|
A trial fit. This machine is as comfortable as
it is wild.
|
|
The seat panels were designed, cut, and
stitched.
