Only 6 weeks to arrive, after they received my swing arm for conversion.
After removing all the shrink wrap, and setting the body off to the side.
Opposite view
One of the 1st "issues" I have found.
Looks like they had to "modify" the mount - using a cut off wheel grinder...
I have nothing against "RVT", but, when you get it all over your hands, gloves - go wash them, or change gloves!
Also, you will see my next "issue". The axle "hub" is...a little crooked.
I was advised by American Trike / Extreme Trike, that there is a bearing inside, and that it is straight, and shouldn't be an issue.
Um, okay....yes, I will be checking and watching this through out the build...
Checking the alignment for the drive shaft
"Test" fitting to the bike / Trike.
Checking side to side and centering.
looks good, so far.
Now, I'm just waiting on wheels, then can mount the body and trim to fit.
Then send out for paint.

So, as you can see from my previous post, I have a bit of "cleaning up" to do.
Then Paint.
Then can get back to assembly of this.
No instructions, no pictures - lol Just gonna have to "figure" it out...
Anyone have a "starting point" for the preload on the rear axle?
Think I saw somewhere to put a 1" thick board under both rear wheels,
Loosen all bolts,
Use a floor jack to "level" the trike - mostly the oil has to be "level".
Then tighten everything back up.
Sound right, or close?
