T-man's Reverse Trike ( Full Video Build )

[bighead]

boy I hope so, I wana be driving it.

T-man. Can you flip cut the muffler and spin it around to change the angle of the exhuast?

Not saying do it. Just wondering if that would work.

 

[T-man]

big , I just went out and tried it. the exaust port is off set to much. I took off the exaust and rotated it 180 and the port and pipe dont line up good enough. Its not a " O " , its more like a " D "

NO NO, I ment if you cut the pipe right between the exhuast flange and muffler. There is about 4 inches of pipe. If you cut the pipe in half. Then spun the muffler around and re welded to the same pipe. Would your muffler tip then be pointing another derection?

Your never changing how the pipe that is bolted to the engine. You just cutting that pipe and rotating the muffler. Perhaps this will get out from between your legs. You can also cut it closer the the exhuast port/flange. And then angle the whole stock muffler down and out of the way just by changing the angle.

Do you follow me?

I am sure your setup now will work good. I just like thinking of things to do to try to help. Also the kids that will build this will be able to cut and flip the muffler easier than making heat shields. Sometimes simple things like sheet metal will run them off. More so when you used that fancy sheet metal cutter. Maybe cheat and show using your wheel to do a cut. Then do the rest off camera with your sheers. Fancy tools will make this build scary to some. Stick to the basic vintage style your are so good at. Thats what draws me and I am sure other builders.

All that being said I do not even know where the tip will be pointing even if you spun it. LOL I love sitting on the fence playing monday moring quarter back.

I'd use the TC with the correct belt size and just build some chain rails out of nylon.

Out of curiousity, what size is the crank on that clone? I most likely have some spare cent. clutches laying around I can just send you for the price of shipping.

 

[T-man]

I think its 3/4 shaft . if I could keep it a cent. clutch set up .. it would make me feel better when the neighbor kids drive it. some time I let the neighboers oldest drive the manco .... man watch out, a TC would give those kids to much power.

 

[fowler]

mount the jack shaft on the 45* bar behind engine and the lift it to right height

or rather than a nylon rail put a tensioner sprocket there so chain tension isnt resting on nylon

 

[gokart14]

dont u need the jackshaft to be at the pivot point? so thechain going to the tire wont slack during suspension travel

 

[88s10Durango]

My belief is you`ve done so much work and designing to this Tryke >> wait , get the money , and go with the driven behind close to the motor , 1 to 1 that to another jackshaft at the pivot point , then to the wheel .
Hopefully you`ll have a cover over the TC 30 also , don`t want a leg or clothes getting caught in there ...

Yah but you would be able to use throttle stop with a TC.

88: if I can't set it up with a cint. clutch. then I'll have to go with idea 2 . i realy dont care about a super fast take off. I want this to have some speed.
