i will when i have finished the tweaking, i made a computer mount today to fit on one of the water bottle bolts the lights are all fitted just waiting for the helicopter tape for the right cross arm so i can finish the chain tube mounting.
with the peddles being a bit higher i am felling it doing me good, i have been hovering around 16 to 24mph on any road remotely flat; down hills i am about the same speed as the trice with the screen on this will be because of the more reclined seat, on the cat making up for not having the screen on.
the ride is better than i thought it would be, i have not lifted a wheel yet! throwing it in to 90% bends outriging is a blast, i think it would be vertically unridable with twist shifters, with the searing response from the direct steering being so light when at speed, trigger shifters would work well.
you certainly have to watch what you are doing at 40+ mph.

Mark, You say you are using trigger changers? I agree twist grips are really not on for any kind of speed with direct steering. I'd guess you could get used to it, but why would you want to?
My Trail is more stable at speed, I hit 39mph in a downpour on my first ride. The main problem I've had in learning to ride the Trail smoothly is that the steering gets heavier as you slow down. When ever I get back onto my QNT I'm surprised by how light the steering feels at low speed.
How's about a picture?

no i am on bar end shifters.
i have sorted out the mirror, i have made a shim that fits in the steering bar and really holds the mirror solid.
i did a 30miler again today.
now the threat of flooding has been put to rest, i can relax a bit.

no rain it was the sea wall i was fretting about, keep up will you!
here i am trying my best to inform and educate the masses and he is sat at the back reading a magazine
i did not notice the wind on today's ride i did get passed over a trench in the road by some work men, the road was closed and it would have been a pain going around the 7mile detour so they helped me over the trench
it is for the power lines from the new wind farm on top of mar hill, i did ask when they are putting the fans on and could they point em ovur arr way t'ut give us a push hom! but apparently they dont work like that and the wind turns them around to make electricity, this was explained to me in a slow clear way as being on a trike i am obviously special needs.

There must be a market for a clockwork bicycle. You could wind it up at one of those farms.

the hand bike has been in service all this week, there is one section of the road that is being resurfaced, wee! free full body massage.
next Monday "my day off" i have to go in to work and have my photograph taken for a new security badge, now do i go goth or glamrock? a full face henna tribal tattoo?
on the consent form there are boxes to tick if we give promotion for the photo's to be used in publicity relation to the council, this makes me a bit uneasy i already get recognised in the street, supermarket ect, as a seleb i do value my privacy, i think i will tick all the no boxes.
the tweaking goes on i have shortened the handle bars about 2.5" so the bar end shifters are not as high up and make gear chaining a bit less effort not having to lift my hand all that way up.
i wonder if athletes foot cream might be and good for fungus frogs?

I'd advise you tick the no publicity box. Why should the good people of Rotherham suffer?
