I don't know why you don't just give it up and get a nice BIKE based trike.

You'll get better mileage.

So if young Sean has his fingers stuck in his lugholes, who is steering the trike?

[Deep Diver]

I think one of these would be better.

And yes it has to be fitted that way up.

I've got four spax adjustable on mine they are just right with the weight i tow or when mad Bob gets on but they ain't to hard when solo not sure on spring weight as I brought them second hand that come of a v8 trike . I tried two standards as I didn't think it needed four but it was way too soft

are you saying im a little on the heavy side

No not that. Just that your wallets so heavy.

Had a chat with a great guy at Dampertech today.
To cut a long story short, gonna send him loads of measurements of my existing set up, and maybe send him current spring, and he will match me a proper set up for the weight of the trike.
All in, should be a shade over £510.

Before I can do that I need to get the brakes back together (The company is sending me a second set by UPS, which should arrive Wednesday), then I can get the trike back on the ground.
Then I can weld the brackets lfor the fuel tank, as I am moving this to the back, instead of between the passengers.
Then, I can get some measurements of unladen and laden measurements on the shocks.

Oh, and need to cut the existing seat mounts (welds) so that I can move it backwards. May even get a new dumper seat for £50.

Once the back is done, I move on to lifting the engine and gearbox out as I have leaking gaskets\seals.

Should keep me busy

Did I mention it needs re-wiring too?
