    FJ1300RT Reverse Trike Concept

    Yes the cost and procedures in Aust make it difficult - to get a VIN number adds a further complication and around 4 mths waiting for one to issue AFTER presentation for registration - the ADR book is about 4 inches thick and is for full compliance for new vehicles which an ICV or homebuilt is...

    Yes rear suspension - standard bike side view shows +ve rake of swing-arm if you have mounted nose of bike lower then std for a lower profile ( as I did ) you will have a negative swing arm angle. If you notice a lot of the newer fast bikes have a pronounced +ve angle - talking to a MC race...

    Item 6 has me worried - try and stop at "Little" - great to see you are progressing so well many talk a lot but produce little - Well Done !

    FJ1300RT Reverse Trike Concept

    OK - the gearbox proposed uses same bolts to mount - you could literally cut back the 3 tubes going to your bolting bracket plate and replace same with the gearbox and use it AS the bolting bracket- the box is quite substantial ( 4mm plate ) and I think would work. If your current system...

    Sorry again missed your reply on cut out on corners - in 3000kms of very hard testing on track and road never had a problem with cut out even on the track - better look at other problems maybe - Alan
