im a noob at front suspension and 16, im trying to get into building my own trike soon but how do you mount the front wheels/ whats it called and did you attend a college, if so, what was your major?
hi Tink what kind of steering knuckles did you use? I am going to be building one of my own and am not sure wich to use ATV or CAR parts? I am planning on 18's in the front and a 20 in the back
Sorry mate been to busy at work and doing the house up lately but should have something in the next month or so, so keep an eye out for me and take it easy mate.
Hi the steering will be direct when i get it done, the spindle/hubs are from a Vauxhall Corsa with home made top ball joint mounts and the shocks are from a Triumph Speedmaster
Hi the rear arm is shorter than the front one if you look at this video at about 57 seconds in you will see Thanks for the comment though and the inverter its rated for a motor of 50 HP or 37 kW it all depends on which part of the world you live in ok AL. Reverse Trike (TNX-RT2) 2 you need to search for it it wont let me post a link to it ok
tinks, I notice your caster is straight up, need to slide your upper A-arm about 2 inches back to prevent too much jolt on your steering and it will keep your handlebar straight even if you let go!
Hey Tinks, I live on the GOLD COAST (the ONLY place to live in Australia). Took the Kids to Threadbo in New South Wales 3 years ago 'cause we don't get much snow here. I grew up in the USA (near Washington D.C.) so I had snow as a kid. I wanted them to experience it! All the best, Rod
@skbg59 Hi sorry not done a lot on the RT2 for a bit because of work and home commitments should be starting again shortly so may have some vids soon. Tinks
PS like the snow boarding vid didn't know you got that much snow in Australia, where abouts are you?.
@itsawhosit Hi Its a gs 750 engine well it started out as a full gs 750e which had been stood for several years all the chrome had gone dampers, forks, wheels and tin work where shot the ally had gone all white so i thought i would have a go at building a reverse trike as i sold my last bike (a gs 850) years ago because i developed psoriatic arthritis in my wrists and elbows knees and i couldn't open the throttle or pull in the clutch so a trike with foot controls it was.

I have a few questions.
Is the steering direct or does it have power steering?
What are some cheap good spindle/hubs for the front?
What are those shocks?
