IN THE SHOP

I dissassembled a pair of Showa shocks to shave of all the brackets. First I cut off all the brackets close with the bandsaw.

 Then put them in the lathe and roughed in all the bracket areas.

 Then started taking full length passes untill I got the leg turned smoth.

 Then I blended the flat areas with a grinder. Then put back in the lathe and worked with a file Then went to 80 grit emory, then to 180, then to 320.

The finished product ready for polishing. These are going on my friend Big Bs VW trike. By the looks of it this is not going to be your run of the mill dub trike. I will try to get progress pictures posted soon.
