Hi I am new to this forum, I am planning on building my own trike, my brother cant ride his bike anymore so i am getting it, it is a 2001 Suzuki intruder 1400. Now i know it would be easier to put "training wheels" on and call it good but i hate that look! I have a few questions that some of you may be able to help me with? first thing is i am not using a kit at all what i am going to use is the rear frame out of a 1999 subaru legacy out back.
it has independent suspension for my bad back and i am getting that cheap from my cousin, i will fab the frame work to mount to the bike my question is the gearing, the motorcycle has a final gear ratio of 2.66 and the car has a rearend ratio of 4.11 i am not sure what size tire i will run but close to height of rear bike tire. i am not sure what gears i can get for that car rear diff any suggestions?? and the other thing is if i run the stock calipers and rotors from the car will the master cylinder of the bike be able to sustain adequate pressure to the calipers? I plan on using braided brake lines. thanks for any info you can help me with!
