Getting Started

[Paul B Blues]

I know the kind of thing you are taking about Trike Lady, and that style is available over here too. The Trike Shop make their own back ends to suit the bike they are triking. For me I need the more open style as I need to put the rear wheel in between my wheelchair wheels. That allows me to get close enough to lift onto the riders seat, grab the handlebars and haul my ass up and onto the seat. Getting off is just the reverse of course. Here are some examples to look at.

Now those trikes look cool and different.
I'm so used to seeing the full fiberglass body trikes.

Here is their latest show trike, they called it "The Bitch"

Now that's different, looks like the rear wheels are set closer together than a standard trike axle.

Well at last the new diff has arrived and is now being added to the back end and the frame is being welded.

Looks like 2 levers on RH side of bars. Interesting! Wondering how that works,,,

To me, it's too dayum cool to safely get folks out with their 'knees in the breeze' when 'conventional' equipment might not won't work for 'em!!!

Got a guy here in Houston I see every now and then on a Spyder. Zippin down the road just as easy as you please with his chair on the back. All I can say is HELL YA!!!!

SWEEEEEET!!!!!

Curious,,, as it appears you have a wide range of final gear choices,,, what 'direction' are you headed in? Do you want to end up with as close to OEM Honda as possible? Little taller? Little shorter?

Wheel size, GVW, all are factors, and you've already had an excellent 'taste' of a comparable powertrain/final set-up with your Rune.

There are days when I wish the GL final drive was just a tad higher. (less rpm at higway speeds, but only because I seem to 'run out' of higher gears to shift to at about 40 mph! LOL!
Certainly no issue with the flat six running 'whatever' rpm you need,,, and I do like the wide power-band,,,

Probably wouln't make much difference either way, but if I had to choose something different, I'd probably wish for 'higher' instead of 'lower'

I'm sure you'll be running a taller tire than, OEM,,,, What tire / final ratio will you be running?
