Goldwing project

Post by Jimbob120781 »

Hi, My father in law had a 1984 GL1200 converted into a trike and it covered less than 10 miles before the modified swinging arm broke. I'm trying to help him out by repairing it so he can sell it but it's currently on a robin reliant fixed axle, is it possible to run this set-up or due to the weight does it need independent rear suspension ? I will upload some pictures tomorrow but any help would be great thanks

Cheers for the welcome lads, I've not had chance to get the pictures up yet but will definitely get them on in the next couple of day's. I'm still a bit unsure about this solid axle but we need to get it done and sold as the missus old man is in poor health. If anyone is interested in it as it stands let me know please
