Hey. Long time since I was on, but I got a project I have to get done. My dad was trying to get back on two after 25+ years and failed his class. between his feet and knees he is finally admitting being two up is out. So I'm planning on building him up a KZ police trike but I got some mental road blocks.
I need to get it down some so it doesn't keel over on a turn when triked. How much am I going to be able to lower it? I can can do an up-swept the swing arm to lower the rear and put on shorter shocks to keep angles right and the tires will soften it up some to help it glide a bit nicer for his aging bones, and dropping the rear is less issue with no tire in the fender. But with the front how low am I going to be able to take it without scraping every time he leaves a lot or comes across a speed bump. I can work the exhaust a bit running oval or rectangle pipe underneath. and the bags can be lifted.
Does anyone know the distance from the drive sprocket to the bike center line?
gotta get a spec before I go buying an axle. I'd like to use an old Harley unit as they can always be found, but I need to know it'll fit.
Pop is beating the hell out of himself. Gotta show him the world hasn't ended for getting back in the wind.
