Hip-Hop Rap Artist will.i.am Custom Trike
Published by Cyril Huze April 8th, 2008 in Builders, Customs and Editorial.
There is a band that I like very much called “The Black Eyed Peas”. I you don’t know yet (how come?) listen to “where Is The Love”, “Don’t Phunk with My Heart”, “Shut Up”, etc. The front man and producer behind the multi-platinum group is will.i.am (you saw his “Yes I Can” video to support Barack Obama over and over on your preferred news network) . To his 18 million albums worldwide, 3 Grammy Awards and 10 nominations, he can now add a trophy custom trike just completed by Austin Weiss at Streamline Designs. Not better quality pics than this one, for now. But I can rap for you a short tech sheet. Hand made frame, gas tank & fenders (23" front, 20" rear). 124" brushed S&S engine. Baker 5-speed brushed transmission. Avalon front end from MeanStreet. Solid brushed wheels from Renegade dressed in the front with Avon 130/70/23 and in the rear 2 x 280/40R20 tires. Pinstriping by Chuck Llewellyn. will.i.am is now on its way to Australia for the shooting of the movie X Men. During this time, Austin is extremelt busy working with other members of the band (Fergie, De App, Taboo) and also for rapper Lil’ Jon and comedian Carlos Mencia.
