Sorry ended up with a few health problems. Had to put project on hold. Now retired would really like to do my project now. Does anyone know where to get a replacement trailing arm set up for trike conversion. Any info or photos gratefully received. Thanks in advance DJF57

They ain't going to be common - sort of 'built to order' type thing. If you can't do the work / fabrication yourself then it'll be a trip to a specialist!

The problem I am having is where you attach frame to end where drive shaft comes out .It is a reliant axel as you know the diff is not in center do I leave it of centre when i attach to frame or do I centre it and take more off drive shaft tube to get angle for drive shaft any info would be good
Thanks

Hi kit, i've done a couple of Reliant axle trikes, the latest being a Yam XJ900 Diversion which is nearly finished. I put the diff in line with the bike's output shaft on both trikes & then shortened the half shaft & axle tube to fit. Looks neat & has the advantage of keeping the width of the rear end down. Having the diff central in the back end makes the drive shaft sit at an acute angle, while this isn't a problem due to the UJ's, in my opinion, just looks odd. Hopefully you'll come up with a solution that works for you. I've put a couple of pics on here of the shortened half shaft, fitted in the axle & the reworked swingarm to take it. Good luck mate.
