Hello everyone,

1st post and a huge fan of the site and Honda trikes!!!!

I traded for a 350X with engine in the frame as you could say a "roller" but allot of parts, bolts and the brake systems that were stripped off to paint the bike came in a handy to carry 5 gallon bucket of mess.

My issue and reason for the post is the rear brake stay bracket and the two bolts that go threw the bracket are about a 1/2 inch of from center on the bolts when attempting to bolt it up.

I have the Honda shop manual, understand the 85-86 rear brake difference, bought a different caliper, and brake stay and still am off from being able to mount this.

Since the brake stay from the bucket and a different one I purchased are the same I am thinking that who ever rebuilt the rear axle may have, could have put a different rear axle bracket on? else it just does not fit and I would have to drill the brake stay bracket about a 1/2 a drill bit out, and i do not want to rig it since I am trying to make it a restored trail king.

I can take and post pics or email people to explain what the heck I am talking about but hope someone else has figured out this issue and can help me out.



email is Bullyinflorida@yahoo.com and I again can try to post or email pics or a video of what I am having an issue with

Thnx
