Like the rear tire ... got a beefy look without being huge. The rim has a great pattern to it as well.
Thank You, I look at that single rear tire as we would a trike with 2 tires, 2 6" wide tires on the ground equal 12" of traction, You/We know there will be a time or two when we have to SLAM on the brakes and pray we stop short of the problem, damn I hate saying that...

what i do is put one or two pc of manila folder in there then u dont have to fart around w making bushings... with that setup i bet it will pull enough to get the a arm back in.... if it werent for the rubber i would weld it up solid as is yes a tad overkill.... my moto.... build it strong
u wont go wrong.... unless u are racing then u have to draw the line some place
Upper frame rails are being dialed in for jack shaft and engine clearance...
This is going to take some time and many headaches? Back to flatness problems again with 60 degree bends or cuts? Ordered a flat 46T Harley painted sprocket, I will counter sink the mounting bolts for a closer fit to the swing arm. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving holiday weekend and wife is out of the country with relatives SOOOOOOO!!! Home alone and many drawings and glasses of red wine, ME2

Time to do some mock up on the jack shaft diameter or how many teeth per diameter? Or remember that big pot hole that almost bottomed out the car, I think a 4" would ease my mind now to figure the teeth for a 530 chain (Harley) 2.75 dia. sprocket = 16T, so I am GUESSING about 25T and I'll try to use the same size engine sprocket. I have a 37T and it is 6". Wheel sprocket will be Harley 46T.Now the up and down travel is less at the swing arm mounting as the rear is greater...Edit, There is a site for sprocket diameter to the number of teeth, 530 chain, 20T = 4" and 15T = 3" this will really help out for my jack shaft...

Yeaaa! eBay's snail mail is here, one day late, Harley sprocket 46T and flat head bolts for recessing to get a little closer to the swing arm side.
Dropped off at the machine shop for countersinking, This is why I bought a painted sprocket, did not want to cut up the chrome, so I'll just paint it the trike color RED, should be finished tomorrow then set up the wheel to swing arm and then back to the upper frame rails...
