New start , when we set up for a frame we haven't

14 Jan 2013 02:04

done before we do one for the shop and test it out and beat it up . So started a rigid 1000 cc kicker motor trike frame for Kate the other day and here it is out of the jigs .Starting to mock it up for a front end . 45 degrees in the neck with 4 in forward stretch and 2 in up stretch . Will take a DNA rear diffy with disc brakes and 4 piston calipers . Pics are here .

Wheel treatment ? thinking something cheap aluminium from Jegs with skinny tires . 205's ? Really no idea , never built anything with more than 2 wheels before ! Springer pics up now . Tank , want to see how stuff fits over the top of the motor once it's in the frame .

Those were actually normally used as front wheels,a set of torque thrusts might look better on the rear for the look youre after.
Ive got a set of 8.5s somewhere in a box for one of my 55 chevies I bought years ago

Something like these might look cool on there,these are the same style Ive got

Nice work!Who makes that rear axle?
Do you use any kind of triangulation to tie rear axle and frame together to keep if from twisting?
