Not yet. The guys at Namz (Badlands Modules) are working on one but it is not released yet. I volunteered to be a guinea pig, but the took a pass on the idea. The United Pacific Sequential LED Light Kit was not compatible either. So the outer two are running lights and turns and the inner four are running lights and brakes.Originally Posted by Jack Klarich
WOW!!!! That looks insane!! Those tires and wheels really stand out (no pun intended). As you get further in your build you get me motivated to get mine finished. Waiting on second tire to be delivered and going to measure for the hubcentric rings. Did you get a set for between freewheeler hub and adapter AND between adapter and wheel? I have the same wheel in a 10". Lets see that bad ass sissy bar!
Yes I did I turned down a piece of tube stock to make the inner sleeve for wheel to adapter (see picture). But my adapter design required it. Then the hubcentric rigs went from Trike hub to adapter.
Thank you. Have the same adapter also. My Calipers won't fit inside the wheel to measure hub! Going to call Cragar for the specs. Hoping to have this issue taken care of in next 2 weeks. Weather is changing here in Vegas so need to be on the road.
Sorry.... I duplicated my post trying to edit it....
Calling them is a REAL challenge. I never could get a real number. I used the tech line email thing.
I run a machine shop in my factory, so it was easy for me to get an inside mic. Do you know a machinist that can lend you one? Or take the wheel to a machine shop and have them measure it. They will usually do it 'cause "those wheel will be cool" on the trike. I only suggest this because I bought something that did not work based on the tech line guidance and had to make one. Maybe you will have better luck
Free Bird, would you mind posting a side view of the back of the trunk, I am looking to do a license plate mount like yours on my Wifes Freewheeler and she wants to see how far it is off the body. Very cool build by the way, I tried to get her to let me do wide tires on hers but she isn't buying it "yet" hahaha.
thanks Jason
Just to see what they look like. Hopefully mounted and on the road next week! Having trouble uploading other shots.
NICE!
Nice work Jeff.....
Absolutely stunning....
Here you go Jason....
Here is the sketch with dimensions I used...
Very Cool!!!!

Thanks Kevin
I used your machined rear bearing retainer plate for a little extra help with the loading of the wide tires. Much appreciated.
Here's the sissy bar trikejones
I dressed up the M8 with Kuryakyn Precision covers.... very shiny now. I also dropped the badges (tank and box) as I like the clean look
Looking Good ... if that's your wife in the background ... she doesn't look happy ...
Yes...it is.... I have already gotten the message that I should not have posted the bad pic of her .... She likes it just fineLooking Good ... if that's your wife in the background ... she doesn't look happy ...
Wow!! She has come together big time!! Sissy bar looks great.Here's the sissy bar trikejones

So I am stumped on the wheel mounting part. I'm not following something here. I ordered a hubcentric ring to go from trike hub to inside face of adapter. Where do the off center washers go and is something you had to order separately? What size lug nuts did you order? Sorry for all the questions but I'm at a standstill here and want this done right and safe! Thank you again. I appreciate your help.
No problem...
The sequence is:
Trike Wheel Hub ---> Concentric Ring ---> Wheel adapter---> 1/2-20 short length lug nuts ---> Turned ring ---> Cragar Wheel ---> Offset Washers ---> 1/2-20 Cragar S/S lugs.
Washers come with the lug nuts (got mine from JEGS). The adapter you use dictates the need for the adapter-to-Cragar ring. Mine needed it. An I wanted the offset of the Cragar to match the offset of the stock HD Wheel... so that was a design choice given available adapter options.
Hope that helps...
PS
Put just shy of 100 miles on the highway Sunday and I am guessing about ~30 in the city stop-n-go since I bolted them on. No issues holding torque or vibrations
I was just lookin at the pics again ... I'll bet the thing will fling some water in the rain .... hate to be riding behind you ... LOL
