Hi all, this is just 1 of the MANY questions that I will need help with. I in no way can afford to buy a trike kit, but I am capable of building my own with the help of you riders on here with answering my questions or steering me to someone who can. First off when you buy the "rear end kit" is it longer than what the original "swingarm" would be? I know that it will be wider (common sense) If its the same length then about 1/2 of my battle is won.
I will be using a chain drive, is it necessary to have a "pumpkin" rear end? I want to go straight axle (custom made) and mount my original rear sprocket onto it. I have read both pro and cons on these 2 set-ups. Will this cause any unforseen problems, Also I will be making my own "rear end" for this it will be rigid. Luckily I know about fabrication, but could use an answer about the length and any other tid-bits that some of you may have picked up. I really don't won't to go by TRIAL AND ERROR system. I won't be buying a raked triple tree I will be raking my frame 6 degrees but can't quiet figure out how much longer my front end will have to be any suggestions?
