Tri Zinger with BW80 front end

**blue27** · 04-17-2011, 07:21 PM

This is Bandito90's Tri Zinger (used to be mine,lol) and He just installed a BW80 front suspension on it. We heard it was a bolt on but it is not. Looks good, should work good, just a fair amount of machining to get it on there. Now we need to decide if its getting a front brake or not.

I know this is an older post, but I am interested to know how the BW80 front suspension rides? How much higher does the front sit compared to stock? As for a fender, how about a BW80 front fender? BW80 rim and tire too?

The trike has not been riden yet, its apart for paint and rebuild. Sits about an inch higher, but if you go with the BW80 front rim and tire it will be much taller.

I'm interested in how it rides.....Please update this thread when you get a chance. Also, what about using a PW50 fork? How would that work?

I don't know how I missed this thread, but that's a sweet little mod for sure.

That is fantastic! Any updates on this? Was the front wheel ever centered? Did you get a front fender on there? What exactly was the process to getting this front end on there?
