have fun with that trike i love my dr

[Quickonstep]

the hardest part about doing the swingarm/rear was putting it back together (and not to mention taking those swing arm pivots out and the rest of the stuff that fought me the entire time) lol but it was fun and worth it, and now waiting on the exhuast :D then itll be complete..

Btw my headlight doesnt work, but the bulb is good, is there a fuse anywhere in that circuit? just curious

I restored mine last winter.It was very fun.It was my first resto.Check the plug behind the healight to see if it is plugged in.That might be what's causeing it.

[Quickonstep]

nah, its plugged in, ima go out with a multi meter and see if i can find the culprit... i was thinkin about makin a extended swingarm, but then with the shaft drive, thats gonna be a bit of a challange... dunno yet, im still just glad its back together and running.. and that old fart starts everysingle time with just a tap on the start button weither its 30 degrees or its 80 degrees

If you want to extend the swing arm just lenghten the part of the shaft between the u-joint and pinion gear. It's just a solid shaft with splines on each end. I have an extra I will sell you for $10 shipped.

[edog]

Tell me more on how to extend the swingarm?

[Quickonstep]

all you really have to do is cut it in half, add some metal in there, extend the driveshaft, and whala, done deal...

But i have a better idea... i think ima build a 100ish hp v4/v6 outboard powered 3 wheeler this winter :D
