    Inline fuel tap for my 'adventure' trike

    I know this technically isn't an adventure bike, or a bike at all, but riding it is an adventurous experience!





    ~$100 invested so far so trying to keep it cheap,

    Does anyone know the best place to get a cheap inline fuel tap as it has a leaking accelerator pump which will drain the tank in a couple of nights...

    Anyone brave/stupid enough to test drive it over the holidays would be more than welcome!

    Looks more like $150 to me

    Vice grips on the fuel hose will do the trick.

    Cheap...but I'm picky and like to look like I didn't do the crappest job possible! If nothing is available this might be the winner!

    Would definitely add to the comedy value...as it is I've managed 15 seconds on two wheels. seat can be folded out of the way...maybe it needs hand controls for more cunning stunt options...

    Done, $21...I guess that's not a lot of petrol...I've made up for it with the light switch 'kill switch'...

    Belated xmas do...? Unfortunately not as kid friendly as the original concept, but as long as there's a big kid at the wheel and Nordie on camera duties what's the worst that could happen?!

    In all seriousness anyone coming past is welcome to steal it/trailer and take it somewhere for a play

    Nice Will, thats somthing special you got there
    I can picture you now with a sack of toys on your back and a red hat on, roaring round the 'hood.
    What's it like on the hills? perhaps you'd better bring it out here.

    Ha yeah that's an image...hills are fine, capable of going way faster than is sensible...only rear wheel brakes downhill could get a bit exciting. Probably not going set any track records on your course!
