Title: Trike axle upside down ? Post by: kapri on March 13, 2014, 09:49:41 AM I've heard you guys talk about flipping the axle over .I take it that's to do with motorbike engines running in reverse rotation to car engines ? As part of that does a Honda CX engine need the axle flipping to work correctly ie engine rotates differently?

Kev on the Hondas you don't need to flip the axle over, as the out put shaft on the engine is on the O/S and the rotation is the same as the reliant axle Title: Re: Trike axle upside down ?

Post by: kapri on March 13, 2014, 11:39:01 AM I know Stumpy as used to have a few Civics ,that's why I asked about the Honda bike engine. I'm looking at starting on the reverse gear set up but don't know which way round to mount the motors and gear wheel etc.
Terry I know there are ( were) a couple on here with CX trikes hence asking, you can't beat hands on experience :) Title: Re: Trike axle upside down ?
