So things now moving on again. I have put it all together except the mudguards and rear lights, Brakes blead and park brake working. Took it to the end of the lane and back, No steer wobble and brake work fine. Hopefully I can fit the mudguards and rear lights this week then take it to my local weigh bridge. I have noticed that the rear suspension can bottom real easy. This is probably due to U/S shocks and springs or the more probable the extra leverage due to extended swing arm. I will have to sort this before I book the MOT. Will probably fit uprated springs and shockers as the mounting are in the exact same place as on the swing arm.

So the trike build is complete, I ended up fitting y coil over adjustable shocks on the rear and they are perfect for the job. I had t narrow the fixing eyes top and bottom then swap over the bushes. Today I took it to the council weigh bridge to get my weight ticket. It came in at 320 kg on the dot. Its booked for M.O.T on Wednesday.

I may be wrong but as a 'bolt on' you don't have to do anything - you are riding a 3 wheeled motorcycle so you can keep your current reg. plate. That's the whole point of a bolt on, it can easily be converted back to a two wheeler having the same reg. No.
