Hello all!! I'm a newb here...and I really like what I see in this great Site!!
I have an Idea to make my own IRS rear for a lighter weight trike such as mine.
My scoot weighs in at about 700lbs.
It would have spider gears in an enclosed pumpkin, with short drive shafts,a disc brake on either side with about a 9" rotor...utilize wilwood brakes and have a set of Airshocks...one per side.
I have rough sketches on the drawing pad...but they arent presentable to post.
When I price out these rears,I see price tags of 7 grand plus!!!
I'm a poor boy living on a disability pension from the VA.(disabled Vet)
I'm a pretty fair welder,have access to a machine shop,have some machine tools myself and I love a challenge!!!
Eventually I'd like to fit up the rear for my own trike and perhaps offer detailed plans for anyone interested in doin one themself.anybody have an Idea or three?
