Nice work, Mate!

Are you using the same rear axle assembly on all of your trikes and what make is it, if you care to share that info...?

[zakboy]

Hi there the axle i use is a reliant axle and have used it on every conversion i have done its light so wont ware your gear box out, i alway press out the tubes then press a tube in side of the original tubes to beef it up a little then press s/s over the outer of the original tube this is after striping the axle of all its original brackets the ratio is 3.23 they come in 3 different ratios the other two being 3.54 and a 2.78
