Guess I should back up and tell some story about the trike.
I'm going to use a ATV axle, which goes against the rules because of it being a live axle, but who cares.
The plan is to keep it narrow and long, which will make the turning radius large, which should help the skip factor with the live axle.
I have to rake the neck to get the trail back in right. And rake it a lot!
So on with the photos....
The front end will have a type of leading link setup. So I got some big fat heavy tubing for it as the forks will be kinda long.
And now for the seat support.
I still got to make the plates that attach the seat support to the axle. I have rebuilt the carbs but haven't tried to fire it up yet.
The wheels and tires are for a golf cart, and the tires ARE DOT legal. No funny business there.
So if you haven't noticed, I'm a bit ADD. Part of that stems from the fact that I have lots of ideas for things, but rarely do I have the right tool to do it. Other parts come from something big getting in my way and I get discouraged. So I bounce around projects a lot. But it makes it fun for the friends and family since they never know what I'm working on now
With that said, the trike got put on hold with the new engine in hand.
