|
|
I remember reading somewhere about doing something to the axles so they sit straight when the engine is on so there is no chance of a tire tucking under after going over a hill or big bump. But I cannot find the article now that I need it. I want to be safe on the roads. Besides I hate the look of it with the axles hanging down, and the tires tipping out. _________________ Ride it like you built it! |

|
|
Anybody out there with a great kit for a homebuilt trike. There's one out there called a bad ass trike that uses a mid engine VW design and someone is selling the plans book on ebay. Anybody else out there with some input? I'm new to this site and there's probably a whole section on trikes. |

Not really too many kits out there for trikes, if any. I know this company sells plans:
http://www.avgeng.com/
But I've been told the plans are not the best.
This guy is supposed to have one of the best sets of plans:

This guy can build ya want ya want if you don't wish to do it yourself.

A search on google will show a bunch of sites that show how.
