The Chopper Compendium

Thanks man. The differential is a Dana 30 carrier and gears. I think certain Jeep front ends use them. I just picked it up off ebay though. Cant quite remember what I used for axles but as long as they have sufficient meat on them...you have to turn them down and shorten to fit anyhow.

Mark.....get off your ass man! You are rivaling me in slow!

They are Bob...well actually designated as light truck....but truck nonetheless.
Gonna start back on this project soon. Been way too long that it has been sitting here.

Scott....I just noticed this thread man. The trike is looking killer! Keep at it man as an inspiration for the rest of us to get off our butts!

Maxthegardener....I almost missed your post. sorry man. Yes there is a piston in the hydraulic clutch cover. In the piston is a tiny thrust bearing and oil seal. They are almost too easy to make but sure look cool. sometime this week I will try and post a simple drawing of how to easily make a simpl...

Always loved watching your bike come together man. Great looking scooter!
