Started with an old wing....
2110 Stroker VW and tall gears.
Now I am building a springer style fork for it.
Y'all have any suggestions as to main rocker pivot dia/size?

Thanks for the replies.
I have looked over the threads.
I am good on the geometry that I want and I have the ability to build most anything I want to.
Just looking for some first hand experience with trike forks.
I am gonna build short and stocky and in stainless steel.
I also treat mine pretty rough, it is my toy. So it needs to be fairly robust.
I am thinking about the size of the primary pivot pin.
How much oversize for a trike that gets hot rodded?

I would , if building it myself anyway , consider a girder or a hossack for a trike instead of a tele or a springer ! Much stronger and easier to build in the geometry you need for a trike !
