You have a cornering light! How does that work, is it brighter the faster you corner?

Not quite. on the goldwings they have lights in the front on the lower part of the fairing one each side when you indicate say left that light comes on to help see the road! A US thing in some states. I have wired them so they come on with the ignition as marker lights that stay on |

Update. I have decided to reduce the width of this axle by 10" giving a 4ft 9" over all width
Got the axle on the work bench working out the wishbone and shock mountings

Ooh IRS ..that will never work on a trike ?   and some even said a reliant engine will never turn that Jag axle? One word for those fools  So how are you going to do the drive shafts ? The width of my rear end including tyres ( outside to outside ) is 64 inches |

The width of my rear end including tyres ( outside to outside ) is 64 inches The jag axle just right for the trike for fitting and gearing. mine is 67" over all With the drive shafts i am going to sleeve and plug weld them also will fully weld around the ends of the sleeve |

While I'm waiting for some materials to come. I thought about the shocks and the setup going to try the air shocks and have them more upright. this is what I am looking at wont really know until its setup on the trike then i can sort the top mounts out
