Hi Phil.
Great news, the CD arrived today, Tuesday.
It's Fabulous. I can only liken it to an old masterpiece. You
know what I mean. The more you look at it, the more detail is
revealed. I highly recommend this guide to anyone who is any way
interested in trikes or in building their own. They would be well
advised to sit down and study the guide in depth before they even
sweep out the garage in preparation. I have read and studied it
in depth and now feel perfectly able to tackle this project with
confidence......
Thank you Phil for an invaluable set of drawings.
Greatest regards, Terry P. (Knockavallig, Duagh,
Listowel, Co Kerry, None, Ireland)

Howdy,
I'm from Oklahoma, USA and just ordered the CD on how to build
Big Yella. I've looked at a lot of options on building a trike and
came across Phils and decided that it was a well planned and
built trike. I like Phils fork concept and the frame.... I
can see from the basic frame design one can let their own
imagination go wild. I own a 2008 Harley Davidson and enjoy working on
bikes and this is a project that I've always wanted to do and thanks to Phil I can make it happen.

Hi Phil,
I’m Alan from Malta. Thanks to you and your good care to
show all the details on the CD off A Serious Guide to Build a VW
Trike.
It’s just arrived and I spend a hole day watching the files up &
down. Every body now would like to buy a very good guide.
There is only 1, the BIG YELLA. Thanks to
PHIL PARRY.

Hi Phil,
Thank you for the download link.
All went well as expected. From Monday I will be out in the
country for two weeks with my Laptop studying the detail in my
spare time. No work on the project though, but all in good time.
Thanks for the courtesy extended
to me as well as the speedily response to my initial e-mail.
It is much appreciated and recommendable.

Hello Phill,
Stuart here. Just got your email about the forum. Look
forward to talking to you and others. I think (I know) you have
done a fantastic job of the BIG YELLA story from design through
to the forum . You have helped me and probably many others to
make a dream become a reality and for this I thank you very
much. Would like to meet you personally one day........

Hi Phil,
Downloaded the book and have
already bound it into a workshop folder. From what I have read so
far, you have done a good job. Thanks for the other
information and the news on the forum. We are planning to
collect all the bits first and then start on the project in late
August.
Thanks Andrew W. (Portland,

Well done Phil, I got my CD last week - looks great! I am
digesting what's involved. Kind regards from a rainy London (actually
I'm about 40 miles north of London!)

brain working overtime. Cheap at that price.
Thanks again

Hello Phil
Received the CD today and it looks great at first glance. I
have purchased a number of items to build the trike, including a
trike that is a write-off for the parts. It looks like I have made
the commitment to commence the build. As you have gone through this
process before ........as it is a bit hard to source the parts I
need in little old Tassy.
Anyway thanks for the CD it will be a great help. I will keep
you up to date with my progress, but until then all the best.Tony

Phil,
My guide arrived today. Checked it out on the
computer and I just have to tell you that it is Fantastic,
Awesome, Great. You name it and that'll be it. I'm very
pleased and look forward to building the American version of
Big Yella.
Thanks Again.

Phil,
Your CD is terrific. Would not have been able to start
the trike without it.
Progressing well. Dismantled a VW, engine now working on frame and
brakes, etc. Would recommend this for anyone contemplating
building a trike. Very good insight and pictures.

Hi Phil,

great! Everything you said and more. I can't wait to
build one!
Thank You.

Hello Phil,
The CD got to Bahrain, and it's a good one. The CD is nicely put
together, pictures are clear as well as the instructions and I
really appreciate the plans at the end. In summary, a very nice
CD indeed, I am glad I have it. The project should be on its way
in a couple of months, to get it on the road for summer 2008. I'll
keep you updated, if you wish. Many thanks and very best regards.

I received the CD and everything
looks great! All the information, diagrams, and pictures
will be very helpful with this project. I am wondering how the
finished project rides/drives...we have a lot of curvy, mountain
roads here, and ......
I
am in the process of trying to find a VW to convert and can't wait
to get started! Thanks for making your experience and expertise
available.

Hi Phil,
Your answers are extremely helpful, and have opened the
door much wider for me to start this “Great! Big Yella” project.
Thank you again for taking the time to listen and reply to
my questions.

Thank you very much for the swift delivery
of the CD. I have had a look through it and I am very impressed, although
I am not building at the moment this CD is going to be an
enormous help if I ever decide to build. Once again thank you
very much.

Have only just had the time to look
at CD, Looks good so far and simple to follow. I
have started the process of looking for a VW to destroy which is
hard in Tassie. Congratulations on producing an easy to follow
instruction manual.

Hi

Hi Phil,
I received your disc yesterday, fast delivery to good
old Wales. What can I say, fabulous disc, full of all the
information you could ever want, you have just reinforced my
plans to complete this project which started 2 years ago but just
faded away. The cutting and grinding discs were busy yesterday. Thank
you, and I look forward to sending you some pics when completed.

Phil,
I ordered my CD on (4-21-2007) received the CD
today (4-29-2007). Lots of good info. It will show me how
to get started. I think it will be cool when I get this project
done.

Hi Phil,
Received your CD and was buzzin' with anticipation
of the contents. I have to say that one can not be disappointed with the
info and photos that you can zoom right in on, top job. I
have been working on a VW motor, box , irs rear, etc. to start my
own trike to join on rides with mates. I've been searchin' the web
for a bloody long time looking at trikes with a lot of head
scratching. Upon finding your site and getting the cd, I have
found many questions being answered (YAHOO!). Just a
question - where did you get the 2 front shocks from 'cause the ones
I've sourced look too heavy (spring) and longer, your's are nice
and compact?
Thanks....Mike (Pukekohe, New Zealand)

I replied too
soon. When I got home from work it was waiting in my mailbox.
I've just done a quick run through and it looks great. I
really like all the photos. Definitely worth the money.
Thanks. I do have one question, what type of welder do you have?
I need to buy one and ......
Thanks
again it looks great.

Hello Phill
Stuart here from TAS. Got your CD ok. It looks great
and very informative. At first I thought what the bloody hell am
I taking on, but the more I studied it the more it sank in and
the more it became clearer. Took me ages to find the check lists
(I was looking in the wrong place). Look forward to hearing from you .

Hi Phil,
I received the CD and I'm just now getting a chance to
go through it. Pretty good! I really like what I've seen
so far. I have a question about the steering head. Do you have
any bushings or bushing washers between the steering head and
the.... I appreciate you giving both metric and
inches on the machining stuff. I'll keep in touch and again I
thank you for all of the work you've put into this CD.
Thanks,

Hi Mate...CD turned up this morning (poor bugger
forgot it on his deliveries yesterday)...excellent detail, well
presented and great pics. Well worth 50 bucks.
After looking thru it is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to
use a VW disc brake conversion ....
Thanks again Phil

Good Evening Phil,
I received the CD, in perfect condition. I have been through the complete assembly, I
have found the CD to be of professional quality, well detailed and
very informative, I will present my recommendations on the BTW
site this evening.

Hi Phil
It (CD) arrived here faster than the space shuttle.
Absolutely brilliant! You have covered everything in great
detail and if I can’t understand anything I will be sure to
contact you. It is by far the best looking frame out there
as I have been looking around and seen some shockers. Some of the
earlier style bodied ones look like soap dishes gone wrong.
...might I add it is great to see someone who is eager to help
others with the same interests instead of other’s who would treat
any information as a national security secret. [you know what I
mean]
Also your fiberglass section is excellent.
For those with no fiberglass experience this is great as all the
information you need to tackle this project is included. As a
matter of fact, all sections were excellently resourced even
down to the ADR’S for Australia. No doubt I will be talking with
you later....

Hi there Phil,
My Mother purchased the CD for me because she
knew I wanted to build a trike and I need help with all aspects of
it. I know this CD will be of great help. It is of
professional quality and content. Lots of pictures, which is a
good thing. The transaction was smooth and quick. Phil is
a great help and he replies to all my e-mails in a
professional and timely manner.
We are happy with the CD and would recommend it to anyone taking
on a trike building project.
Thank you again Phil, great work!

(Extract from BTW site)
Good evening Folks,
I have come to the conclusion that trike building requires a lot of
information, and technical assistance from a whole bunch of people,
like the guys we find here. And we seem to always look for
information on frame building and motor assembly etc.
Well I came across a web site a couple of weeks ago... I have
purchased the CD, from Australia, and received it today.
The CD is of professional quality, it is very well presented,
with tons of pictures, each step is well documented with
pictures to assist. One section I found very interesting is the
fiberglass fender making, great information, from the
mock-up, to the plug, to the mold to the final product.
I recommend this product to anyone, from the beginner to the
intermediate, or for someone wondering if trike building was for
them.
IMPORTANT NOTE
I did pay for this CD, I am not affiliated, in any way, shape or
form to Phil Parry, or the Big Yella project, but figured that since
this type of information is hard to come by in this format,
that it was worthwhile bringing it to the BTW members and
non-members attention.

Hey Phil,
The cd arrived on
Monday a.m. Only got to check it out Wednesday evening as I've had
to do an out of hours work. You've done a great job producing the
disc, congratulations and thanks heaps it is gonna help me out
immensely. I intend to go through it in more detail on the weekend,
but on first glance it's great!
John B (Salisbury Park, S. Australia)

Dear Phil,
I received the extra info
Thank you. A quick browse through the CD shows it to be very
informative and well written for someone like myself looking at
building a trike I currently own a 2002 xxxxx Highway model. I
am looking at building one so that I can reduce the height at
which the rear passenger sits. My wife finds it cold sitting so
high in the winter. I have been a mechanic for nearly 46 years.......
