this is a view of the propshaft , hope the angle is not to tight , let me know what you think, I had the jag boss turned on a lathe and married it with a hardy splicer from a reliant , then bored out the center to take the bikes drive shaft ,

Looking good. I would box the lower shock bar. You can remove the center stand & rear crash bars now, don't think you will be needing them. Use the bags & some trailer fenders, then add in the middle. The Jag is a good starting point, what is the gear ratio?

this diff is 3:1 , and i think the bike was 2:9, ive had it moveing , by putting the bike on stands and letting the clutch out all seem fine , im not tolaly happy with the propshaft , think i will do as i did with the other trikes , i drilled the hardy splicer that goes on the engine and taped it to a 8mm and used a grub screw. sorry it's a bad picture , i took 5 (bad light) and this is the best one

hi skip , what did you mean , when you said you would box the lower shock bar ?, all ideas are welcome, i got some fibre glass mudguards off ebay , and i spent all afternoon getting them on  it frame is under neeth the mudguard i will fibreglass the frame to the bottom of the mudguard , when it's all painted  this is the mudguard on , not sure if i like it ,? may have to trim it ? these mudguards are 12" wide so the gap in between the pannier and the mudguards is around 4" the door still opens , i would be useable

Yes it 2.93:1 By the way, I like that BIG garage you have. Are you sure the trike will fit after you put the tires on? What I did was moved the diff. over a little more in line with the driveshaft, then shorten the axle. The shock mount don't look very strong to take a good pot hole with all of those hoses in them.

you right to laugh about the size of the garage  , its a hut in my back garden , we have been having a lot of snow here in the north east of england , but last week end was nice , so i thought i would push it outside in the small amount of sun ,!only to relise it will not come through the door way it's 6" too wide , ha ha , not to worry it has to come apart to be painted , and then put back together properly, , yes i think your right i could take another piece of angle turn it upside down and weld it to the bottom shock brace , this would make a box shaped tube, good idea

Good way to shorten the axle. You could us angle iron to help suppot axle as you weld it  Last edited on Sun Feb 28th, 2010 03:55 pm by skip20 ____________________ USMC, Vietnam Combat Vet. 69-70, GWRRA 78111 PGR 255645 1st Bike Honda Dream 150 Dream Bought in '68 1st GoldWing GL1100 1989 GL1500/6 (NEW)Still have runs GREAT 1993 Gl1500A Trike Build SOLD Now:1993 Gl1500SE Future Trike To many projects to finish |

Yeah, Barry, you need to size the pictures to about 640x480 at a minimum so that we can see the detail. Optimal size is 800x600 to fit the PC monitors that most folks have. Larger than 800 pixels wide will overlap the screens for a lot of folks.
