    will post better pic of fork later..............not very computer savvy! the fork according to onetonmagoo, is a springer look leading link...what your seeing for springs are nothing but 750 Honda shocks. there is a rocking link that's ties the shocks and the tubes together. larry

    Default rocking link

    [QUOTE=Fowler;392350]I would love to see that rocking link section also[/QUOTE

    I'm having problems compressing files to post pictures.....the first one must have been beginners luck. the link pivots on brackets welded under the fork tubes. the link is 1/2x1" hot rolled mtl. what I call the "hammers" are the strips that tie the shocks to the link bars. this keeps the shocks and bars in position while moving up and down. just a personal preference, but I like this look better than the leading link with the shocks mounted lower on the fork tubes.

    Default fork

    yep that's it! I followed his design.....but made the rocker taller to minimize the "arc" when the rods and shocks moved up and down.

    Default details of rear suspension

ID:	40015steering knuckles are rotated backward 90 degrees and bolted to a dropped straight axle. old school hairpin radius rods locate axle as does a panhard rod.. air bags and shocks complete the suspension....50 to 60 # of air puts the suspension in mid travel.

    - - - Updated - - -

    pic does not show other end of radius rod....it fastens to the lower ball joint hole on the knuckle......the remaining end of the hair pin bolts to the steering arm on the knuckle... the single end of hair pin uses a heim joint bolted to the frame.

    they set out too far. tires are nitto 225x45x18 I'm running about 25# seems about right.

    this winter i'm going to fill in the doors and the quarter sections with 1/8 in stockcar plastic sheet. my plan was to make the trike a 3 season unit......we will see...with radiator behind seat there are of course heating problems.....will try a small scoop underneath and some baffling to direct the air better.

ID:	40579knew there would be overheating problems.......going to aluminum rad helped a lot.....but not enough.. there is a big updraft of air coming up between the rad and the forward part of the engine...I think the floorboards compress the air then it flows up..i'm hoping to direct this air thru the radiator from front to back....anyhow its something to think about this winter!

    I like it, looks really nice. Does it overheat at slow speeds also and how do you like the front forks.

    can't seen to upload pics tonite....scoop is under the rad, air will have to lift 6in to reach lower part of rad. I think it will work. Diver, the forks work very well...steers easy one hand...I have 45 rake and 2 in. of trail.....the only undesirable characteristic is when you back up at a mid to high angle of the fork ......it tends to flop to a sharper angle..so keep a stiff arm when backing up fast!! otherwise tracks well.....and rides well. larry

    My radiator is sideways so air is a problem for me also . On my junk. I had a slight overheating problem above 55 . Now i use a davies craig electic pump and controller and problem solved. .. Use to run one in Florida on my street strip car cooling a pro-charged 555. It will slow or speed the flow up or pulse it to what ever the controller temp is set at. pretty darn neat
