starting my 3.8 v6 super charged trike build

[irmagoo]

well I decided to add second brake rotor to front wheel- this is going to be heavier than my side car rig and I use front brake all the time on it ,,,,sure I will on this trike also so can't have to much brake!!
I will start building the insert/adaptor for the side of wheel that had the belt pulley and rubber compensator ??? not sure what they called it??? it will house another bearing to keep things aligned for this process and have a lip that aligns/centers the rotor,,, the adaptor will bolt to wheel and the hub cap that I already made- the hub cap will center up on the lip that aligned rotor also- the hubcap mounting bolts will/should add to strength of set-up :xzqxz:
well that's my story we will see how it goes!!!
got all material for brake lines for front wheel $230 bucks and change!! its the small stuff that adds up , also got a inner 2013 road glide fairing coming so I can get to work on that tooo!!! I am thinking at this time that i will use a single headlight outer fairing I got time to think about that-while I do brakes and handle bars and shift linkage and and and
oh yea
I will post a few pics as this right side brake as it comes along and it will come along!! just maybe not fast I think it shoud !!

I agree ... more brake is way better than less.

ok I have been away from shop for a couple wks. so this morning I worked on front wheel
1. trim .200 off hub
2. trim .050 off fingers so the .050 step I put on back of hubcap will fit tightly again.
3.trim end of fingers off and true up inner hug area where my hub to brake rotor adapter will go:xzqxz:..
4. just a little closer shot of area.
so hopefully I have time over the next couple of days to make the adapter and install it in wheel!!
my fairing showed up-more work!!
so more later!!

1. shows adaptor bearing location bored this for bump fit for 3ed bearing
2. shows bearing going in and 5 taped holes with 5/16 bolts that hold rotor in place..
3. shows the 3/8 bolts that hold this piece to wheel hub.
4. .just shows things as they would look when installed.

well fuzzy if you remember back it always had a hubcap-made it when I went to this wheel had to have something to cover the fingers that I didn't need !!
so just need to open up center to 3.900" and its a done deal!!

ok wheel is ready to get tire mounted again !!!
here's what I did to get it finished up!!
1. rotor adaptor installed
2.the hubcap modified to fit new setup!
3.hers a look at it now did have to go to counter sunk 1/4 bolts for this application.
4.rotor installed I machined center so that I have 1/16 space between back of rotor and face of hubcap.
5. this is what it was all about!!
glad my buddy T-bone @ bonified cycle shamed me into figuring this out many of you guys out there have talked about wider wheel & tire on front well it can be done on a budget... used wheel and tire and and a few bucks for supplies,,,,,,some shop time and I am on my way!!

[irmagoo]

well been caught up in life,,,
just got new wheel spacers (4130 steel) made and wheel back on trike front end
think i'll have to call this a success, time to move on!!
I will add caliper mount to right side of link/rocker next, also have new 25mm chrome plated axle material so will make final change there
1&2. shows the new rotor
3. shows the existing factory installed rotor.
I am also excited to get my fairing mounts made and fairing mocked up should give us an idea as to what front end will look like and one steep closer to getting title work done- got to have lights installed and working .

awesome

I am true loving this thread ... :clapping::clapping:

 

[irmagoo]

well a couple pics. of fairing,,,
I think it needs to be a little lower 2-4 inch closer to front tire ???
I'm about through messing with front end think I'm going to concentrate on wiring- get lights on it and get this thing started up,,,, and titled

Doing a great job ... got the wheels in my head turning ... but I'd have to have the machine work done ... that's gotta run into some bucks.

I agree with the fairing being a little lower.

 

[irmagoo]

I agree with you both!!
just getting ant-z want to hear some noise out of this motor!! maybe move the trike my other shop more room to work on body- less priceless junk !!
what's left to do on front end is minor so guess
i'll get er done!!!

[irmagoo]

ok I think the fairing is look'n better!!
1. is before and 2. is after if you look at fork tube brace you can see the change
3. before and 2. is after- bottom of fairing just over shock mount- way cleaner look to me but my eyes are as old as me:xzqxz:,,,,

[Gorilla]

yes yes yes much better

 

[butchvoss]

yea i like it lower . looks great.. What is that faring off of?

 

[FuzzyWuzHe]

The only issue I see lowing the faring, now the trees are way above the faring ... :Shrug:
