Hi Zakboy I read your thread and found it very intresting. Some very nice idea's . Question how did the trike ride?.
I see you kept the wheel base the same as the original when most people lengthen to help with stability.
When useing rose joints (sphirical bearings ) they are designed to move in all directions. As the shock absorbers are rubber mounted I would have thought the axle would move side ways when cornering. Did you notice this?.
Did you use CDS tube?.

Gents, this thread is 8 years old.
Saying that, zakboy did log on in June last year. Maybe he will log on again or get a notification of an addition to this thread.
