yes its very steep Merv but the only B stamp axles on ebay when i was looking were £275 and £250 i was very reluctant to pay £230 but i definitely wanted a B stamp this time so it was a case of having to pay the price  Smiley

i went out with a freind sunday who has a reliant trike with a b stamp, mine has a stamp, he could stay in 2nd when i had to go to 3rd, and had alot more accelaration because of this, i cant go over 3000rpm as im running in but even round town he could potter round without gear changes, i know there expensive £250+ seems the normal going price,but if you can find and afford one its a well worth while investment i think Wink

yes i agree Bandit for £230 it will be a good investment it will suit the bike engine a little better than than the A stamp but could have lived with the an A stamp if the B stamp had not been so readily available on this occasion   Smiley

yes you can swap the cuts chewie, but the guts on there own are a bit difficult to find  Smiley at the moment vmax1200 as got a reliant kitten axle witch is 3.54 ratio (not the ideal ratio for a bike trike) but he is hopeing eventually to get the guts out of an A stamp axle to fit in, for the mean time we will put big wheels on it and see how it goes

if hes triking a Vmax then 3.55 is fine, fitted with 17 or 18 " alloys to get tyre height to the same as the bike original rear tyre it will be ok, can even afford to go slightly smaller

Vmax final drive is 3.667

or is his username not a clue?  maybe I missed something and look a wally now LOL


aha just went back a few pages and read it all again

yes an XS750 will be a bit of a pain on that ratio

XS final is 2.909 so the 3.23 ratio would be better

best ratio is 2.78 B stamp vmax1200's must be off the 750 kitten van witch is 3.54 no stamp on the axle just the number so split the diff and counted the teeth on the crown wheel and on the pinion and divided
