No experience, but Sprocky was using one when he was building Jake.

Re: BMW BACK axel
Aren't most Bimmers independent rear ends? A BMW live axle must be REALLY old now and can't imagine diff ratio's will be suitable for bike engine builds? Sorry I only think hardtail LOL!

Re: BMW BACK axel
Twisted's Pan trike is a BMW rear end. I know they have many different ratios for diesel/petrol and engine size.
This two would be a good rear ends.

Re: BMW BACK axle
A bit late for this thread as I have only recently joined. But I have a BMW rear end apparently so I hope they're not all scrappers lol. I am very green when it comes to anything trike, but I'm loving learning and riding
