That looks like its gonna be a very narrow rear axle. It doesn't look like you can fit a diff in before the axle clamp. You gonna be able to lean that like a solo?  How wide is the rear end gonna be? |

Same thing on the first trike I ever built, an XS750 Yam. I'd narrowed the axle on one side to line up with the bike engine output, so when I had to flip the axle upside down, it was twice as far out of line. Had to start all over again. The majority of bike engine props rotate the opposite way to Reliants, so hope you've checked it mate. |

I thought I read something by desperate saying you didn't need to flip the reliant axles as you can open the diff and swap the gears over?

Someone here has mentioned that in the past, but as one side of the casings is much deeper than the other, wouldn't that involve flipping the casings anyway?

Being a Honda Goldwing it's probably similar to my Silverwing final drive output shaft/direction,which was the same as this one, anyway, if not you can flip the internals of these axles as the planet wheels are still contained in the main casting area, Morrag

hi reading all comment on the prop shaft rotation. the goldwing is the same as the reliant axle. when i decided to build a trike i had it on the bench for about 3 mts working out how i would do the swinging arm convertion. making templates out of ply to keep it as compacked as possible.checking the prop rotation ect using string lines levels to keep the axle square to the frame.before cutting the axle and swinging arm.then made a jig for the swinging arm and axle to sit in so i could cut the box section to fit
