i think now i have got a trike to use,once the xs850 is done i a may just do a reliant as there would be no rush to get it on the road its just the paper work and msva that puts me off custom builds , bolton convertion,s are ok and i can think of lots of advantage,s to boltons especially when done with adjustment

zakboy, what do you put on the plate where the axel sits when the u bolts go round.

i weld the plates so they are just proud of the frame underneath so thay are actually touching the axle and the frame tube is just sitting above the axle tubes or near enough so that i can make and place a square of rubber underneath the mounting plate more or less rubber template of the mounting plates so just to lift the frame of the axle so the rubber on the mounting plates is the only contact with the axle just helps to cut down on any vibration you may other wise get though the frame,  i don't put any thing on the unbolts all though you could thread rubber tube over them and just cut it off where the treads are they then just go round the axle from underneath the threaded part then comes up though your holes in the plates and the nuts are then on top of your mounting plates
