front forks on a 82 200E

[oscarmayer]

question,
are all big red forks (mine is a 82 200E) have the break on the left side not the ride when sitting on the trike? if so, mine is backwards.

my trike seems to pull to the right a bit and it's frusterating to me cause i don't like fighting it. it's not like horrible, but it's noticable enough it effects my enjoyment of the ride.

I have seen several pics and the ones i see show the break on the left side. (not sure the year of those trikes int he pics though)

Thanks for the help.

if the forks are right, what do you recommend as far as the pulling to the right?

The brake assembly on my 83 BR is on the right side.
Have you checked the tire pressure in the rear tires? One being lower than the other will cause it to pull to one side...also a different diameter of tires will cause it too.

The brake is on the right side on my 84 Big Red.

Your front brake should be on the right side when sitting on the trike. I tried to swith the axle from leading to trailing ( which i think if my memory serve me well, will put the brake on the left side) but the tire was rubbing inside the fender. I wanted to reduce the wheelbase. You can see on my picture that there is a tabs welded on the fender to hold the brake cable.
