These calipers are readily available and at a reasonable price

That's a rather goodlooking trike!

Thanks Biker Gran, That's very good of you to say.
Main thing is I'm really enjoying the build. Week away next week, so no progress.

Got to agree. I'm not usually a fan of bike/trike conversions, but that sits rather nicely doesn't it.

Thanks Andy.
I did a 650 Deauville last year and TBH this Pan is working out so much better.
I've got the prop parts to my engineer, so fingerers crossed he will get that done whilst I'm on me jolly. Be great to have it running.

That's what you always said about my Gertie - the common factor is the shortened axle, keeps everything in proportion!

I've kept the axle to standard width, due mainly to access to the paniers.
I did shorten the axle on the Deauville, but the Pan is a lot wider to start with.

A little more progress today, no rest for the wicked!
Exhausts fitted, bonus got away with using all pipework from the bike.

Well the fact is it still looks all in proportion!

I remember once measuring the trike to find out why a ferry company wanted me to pay the same as a car, and Gertie was only a few inches wider than a fully loaded Goldwing bike!

A bit more progress today.
Bargain handbrake cables arrived today, £5 each inc p&p from evilbay. Has it's uses.
Also delivered today, flexible hoses with banjo blot and seals, perhaps not strictly needed but just as cheap as buying all the fittings and seals to get me to the same point. £8 each inc p&p, again evilbay.
I've decided to move the exhaust. Going to fit one silencer in wheel well, coming out where number plate was. Dropping number plate and fitting a number plate light at lower position.
This should make a cleaner look and keep under the axle clear. Pic below as an example.
