Trike is at 70%, yellow chop at 90%. I don't believe in assembling parts and claiming a "build". I do as much as I can from scratch. Not being a machinist, I am limited.

What's the rear end off of on your trike?

A mistake. I used a Toyota Carolla rear, bad choice. Most everyone, I'm told, uses a small Ford rear, not sure which. Since you cannot run rear lube with a chain drive you need to run sealed bearings. I had to have a bit of machining done because bearings with both the correct ID and OD are not made. If you use that certain Ford rear, it's no problem. Just toss the pinion gear, replace the ring gear with a sprocket. The spiders don't do anything unless you are cornering, and then don't do much. Trike guys tell me they don't really need lubed, and last many years.
