OMG, they are realy nice mate. I want 2 sets for sure. Chuck a 'sickie' and slap them in a box. lol
Now if you will excuse me, I'm taking those pics and a tissue and going to have a few moments of 'personal time'.

I almost feel guilty posting these but here goes anyway
Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmentClick to view attachmentI think the feeling will pass after a quick ride

At the moment all sets of clamps are spoken for but if anything changes i will let you all know
Still haven't found anyone to make axles unless i want 50! so if anyone has any leads it would be much appreciated.

The forks are 620mm long from the axle holes to the top of the forks. Adjusted to their lowest setting they should even suit a stock 70 without lifting it to high. I just got them from eBay, no brand name but not the cheapest i could find either.
Would be great to get axles sorted

At the moment i think it's only
- Tank
- Seat
- Pegs
- Rear Axle
- Handlebar
Currently i am looking at changing the handlebars and making come custom step guards so the list will get even shorter

Cool, thanks for that. I will see my mate about the axles before the weekend. Fingers crossed he can do some for us, although he is a very busy guy.

I just took my 70 front axle to an engineers shop and got him to turn a longer one for me, cost 60 euro.

I had a few spare minutes tonight so on went the new rear shock that finally arrived.
Looks good, but it only just fits in there
Click to view attachmentI am going to make a small bracket to clamp the canister to as i don't want to just hose clamp it to the seat sub frame
It has a 1000lb spring in it at the moment but that feels quite hard, i may have to look at getting a lighter spring down the track
Mardy
Jul 28 2010, 04:33 AM
Looks sexy....
With that cool new suspension you could have the trike in the ute, drop the tail gate and start it up and jump out the back without using ramps...... like they do in movies......
If you do it, I want to see it on youtube!!!!
vortex
Jul 29 2010, 12:22 AM
Looks Good. I have a Fastace BS58AR 550lb on mine and its perfect. The guy in the shop said the spring lb rating should be roughly the weight of you and the bike.

Got some bad news, after much back and forth no second run of triples.

I know there were a few of you looking forward to them and I am sorry to let you guys down.
Would love to have some pics of my trike all finshed but all my projects have been very neglected, hopefully the new year will bring more time to play and less spent working

Wow long time no see. Glad to see you are still around. No problem on the triples. Here is a horrible pic of the ones you sent me. By the way how many sets made it to the US.

Wow!!! this is a great build!
MuckUte & Mardy, I will be in country the begining of May, trying to see if I can extend my trip a couple days to meet up with you and take a spin on a 70. It's always great to meet up with other 70 nuts, even better if it's on the other side of the world!

Nick, mate, where you been? Was getting a little worried.......
Thats bad news on the triples, such a shame. Nothing we can do about it??? Cash up front before the order? Send some heavies over to the guys workshop?....

How about begging and groveling??? I'm good at that, I am married after all....

Mardy- Not out of pocket, just sick of excuses about why it's going to be another week or two weeks, month etc.... still a slim chance but
Stugots- Only one set made it over there. Your bike looks good, need some better pics, I like the rear fender, is it an original or does someone do a replica?
Matt86- What part of OZ are you headed to?
Has anyone setup EFI on their trikes? I Found
THIS. It's not designed specificly for a honda or clone motor but it seems like a few people have got it to work quite well on their pit bikes.
Noticed they also sell turbos

Oh thats a shame.that I have the only set in the US
That is a original A+ fender , but I do think they are making the reproduction of it if you really want one pm me and I will look into it for you.

Jan 20 2011, 06:30 PM
That efi setup is very cool! You need to start a seporate thread for it so more people see it.

I did get the run around off a couple of metal places, but managed to get a 1/2 length off a mate.I have 10 blanks here, all cut to 345mm, ready to be threaded.

Was hoping to get some ride time with the new EFI setup this weekend but spent most of it modifying the swingarm so it had some adjustment in it. Couldn't get the chain tension right even with a half link so out came the grinder and welder. One bonus of this job was that i now have bearings on the swingarm pivot also.
Didn't get to snap any pics tonight but will put some up soon. Best part is chain is now perfectly adjusted.
Just need to tack on some mounts for a chain guide and i can get some paint on it
