Check this out... It should allow me to keep the trike vertical and ride on a <edit> 15 degree slope also.

I have an anti-sway bar on it, and it worked well for what it does. The biggest problem is my front track width is only 41 inches outside to outside, making It too narrow for the height of the center of gravity, so when faced with a turn (even at low speed) it wanted to tip or bring one of the...

Rainy Saturday during quarantine season continued.... I scarfed some angle iron off my home made bending brake. Made some 1/2" studs by cutting the heads off bolts and ground tight fitting holes with the cutoff wheel. Used the max heat setting to weld the bolts to the angle brackets...

I marked and trimmed the triangle brackets. Added some nuts inside the axle tube where the pivot bolt threads into. Squared up the tube and welded it to one of the triangle plates. The other plate just bolts on. Here's how the new shock mount is looking in place. The trike is still supported...

This is the stock upper shock mount and the pullow block bearing. Here is a cardboard assisted design template. I am keeping the stock shock width and ride height +- a few mm. The caliper was used to get the measurement from the shock mount to the center of the bearing pivot. Here is how the...

I've been thinking about how to do the most practical mods to make this work as a reverse leaning trike. After a few sessions on the search engine and oggling through CAD drawings, Pinterest YT and a few GB of images on the topic, I have a plan... I have decided to chop out the upper shock...

I had a visitor today, my neighbor just bought a Honda 4Trax 450 4wd, so we talked and took turns leading a few laps around the yard track. So the 4x4 quad was definitely better through the turns, but no contest anywhere there was room to use the throttle and another gear. I saw him get on...

Thanks guys. I made a quick ride video today using a dash camera. Its awkward to watch compared to some of big name YT channels, but I'm trying.

Easy fix on the shifter bolt, It spun on through when I tried drilling it out. I got a longer stainless steel bolt to replace the stock one so that if it breaks again, I can grab it and turn it out. I hooked up a USB power box to the battery to power a dash cam and hope to produce a riding...

Got most of my yard work done for the end of summer, and took the trike out to burn some freshly cut grass. I was having diffuculty trying to use my GPS speed app because several times I knew I had a good rip through 3rd gear, but the app was stoped or asleep and not recording the speed or...

I use rubbing alcohol to clean the parts before joining.

Have you tried a silicone sealant ? Silicone stays flexible, bonds to metal and rubber and will take the heat.

@landuse - Its definitely easier to "control" off the line or ripping straight through the yard. I was hoping I could muscle it to the inside of a turn for some dirt track style power slides but the weight and geometry is not right to lay get the rear to kick out for a good powerslide. (could...

I have been wanting one of these for a while. There is a metal table that is really cool called port-a-band saw table but it does not seem to fit the Bauer from HF. I may try to make one from metal one day, but I immediately started this wood table before ever using my new Bauer. I watched a...

Working on rainy day projects and decided to try to install a 23mm Chinese Mikuni swap onto my stage 1 Predator 212. First issue out of the box is the carb flange bolt holes are threaded. Next, I take off the stock (but jetted and working) carb and see that the bolt holes on the Chi-Kuni are...

How time flies.... I have had the new heim joints for the sway bar a month but dont have them mounted yet due to other line-jumping projects. In the mean time, I had found a DIY style ignition upgrade is available for the CBR1000F engine, so I ordered the used parts to get that going. The tip...

Nice work keeping those old quad parts out of the junkyard. Was it a Yamaha ? I chopped up a 350 Warrior and made two projects from it, a kart/buggy (no cage yet) and a reverse trike. There is potential that you may see an issue I am having with my kart/buggy since the engine is mounted to...

To use one sprocket with one chain to the axle, you would need to have both driven pulleys on a keyed shaft so there would be power transferred from the second TAV. That may be more of a challenge than running two chain/sprocket sets. What about keeping the backing plate and add some bearings...

Sounds like the shroud bolt would be a small one (?) What happened to make the process not work ? was the extractor turning inside the bolt or did the threads get messed up or something ?

The EZ Out or Easy Out screw extractor set offers a low cost way to remove the remaining part of a broken bolt. I had to do this repair on a broken bolt on my CVT driven clutch the other day and thought I might have to scrap my 212 crank, or replace the motor, but everything went well with the...
