I've wanted to do this for a very long time.
The innocent victim awaits.
The rear wheel, the rear fork, and the rear caliper are history.
New rear fork installed.
Side bar: As I was preparing to torque the pivot shaft of the new rear fork to 75 ft-lbs I was straddling the bike; left foot on the 1 1/8", bending over to the right to keep the 1 1/8" socket and the torque wrench squared up. The Lady came out in to the garage on her way to the office and said, 'I guess you plan on a face plant today? Get on the right side of the bike!' Being the deviant I am I needed an image. She held the combination wrench while I got the 75 ft-lbs on the right side. She's a good sport, that one Some times you need an extra set of hands; sometimes, you just need a gal in heels
This level of carnage is always good!
The Frankenstein 38" Sport Trike rear. This is some seriously, very well made goodness.
The 15" wheel with Hankook 265/50-15 tire installed on the right/brake side.
Drive line axle installed in the billet housing.
The drive line star plate and axle removed to install belt pulley.
