    i would shy away from rod ends for wheel bearings.. they might last forever in this application... but this is not what they are mad for! checked the speck and i did not see any speck for rpm.. usually if something is meant to spin there is a speck... as i said with a light load an low rpm they might last for ever but personally i wouldnt want to zooming down the road an have one fail

    I’m not questioning your design,just curious about the layout of your shocks. In every application I’ve noticed it seems shocks were usually in the vertical position. On a few applications such as the IRS on the CSC Trike they incorporated a mono shock in a horizontal position above the rear differential with the left and right side upper A-Arms attachments to opposing ends of the shock. In my limited knowledge I don’t see the rear suspension benefiting from the design pictured. Again l’m NOT questioning your design, just curious.

    PS,,,,, I enjoy watching all your threads on your builds.

    another consideration is the fine tuning of a heavier shock/spring into a lighter one by laying it over at the angle that gives the right support and travel to the suspension.

    Hi David, thanks for stopping by, The reason I am leaning the shock is for looks, It will help give it the wow effect as will the bicycle springer up front, the batteries will go under the shocks and the seat above. I thank all you guys for your support on this build and the others... TrikeMan did you see my 1st trike in "Introductions"? Red fiberglass body sim to yours all hand made, yes it took a while, EDIT: And don't be so hard on Tn.
