Hi everyone, my 1st post so go easy
Bought this trike off eBay without viewing... Stupid stupid me.... Anyway now that's behind me, I'm gonna get it sorted .... Properly.... Its my 1st trike (my missus has epilepsy and has been ordered by the doc that she can't go on the back of the bike)...
Its reliant engine and axle, was told Suzuki gt 250 front end but not 100% as gt's aren't twin disc...
The wiring is quite frankly dangerous (considering it was MOT'd literally a few days ago before it arrived)
So far my list
Usual refresh of oils/filters/fuel and radiater hoses,coolant, etc
Wiring....
Forks and front brakes (thinking of a better front end)
New pedals (clutch/rear brake) there s**te, nuff said
Seat adjustment as my leg is sitting on the air filter....
Rear brake strip and re-do
Put the handbrake on the left side and so that it is operable and that you don't have to get off it to apply it....

Cheers bud, here's all the pics I have at the minute, haven't even been down the road yet, the gears seem rather vague (as in you can't tell if your in gear or not) unless you set off after lifting the clutch...
The engine as far as I can tell is good, its just all the little bits that are bodged...

Ha, once I get the diff,engine and gearbox out it's free to anyone that wants it...  Well I've bought a nail and gonna need some advice, can't say how much yet, I have no shed or garage so can only work on it in nice weather (yay for tarpaulin) One question , the handbrake does it have to be on the left? Mines on the right, bit it's an ass to use since you have to get off it to operate.... ? |
