    I dont know anything of this swap but I would love to have fixed pegs. In certain situations (steep dunes) I want to be pushing back against the pegs and they just fold up. Also, like most trike pegs, they are too thin. Good job on the progress, its looking great!!

    My concern is the tight trails and stump jumping FOB and I find our self in. I know the folding pegs have been a good thing on more than one occasion. Plus these ones look all new and shiney now.

    Today's progress

    Here's what I got done today. I still need to put the big axle nuts on and get a couple washers for the hubs, but other than that the rear axle is 99% completed.



    I'm still thinking about those mojave pegs too...

    Looks good. Are those 13 spline hubs? Or 24 spline? Only have seen them in 13 spline so far...but that looks like a stock axle.

    haven't counted the splines but they are the skinny ones, so i'm guessing 24

    here's how the frame is looking. I've not been looking forward to the work ahead of me as it involves a lot of polishing.

    That looks nice. Is that rear shock a stock rebuild? If it is you did a good job it looks like new.

    Thanks. It had a leaky hose that I replaced but the seal head was good, so I just cleaned it all and put in new oil. I polished the shock body and reservoir, then had the spring powder coated. When I got it, it had a White Bros. Suspension decal on it (that I would like to get reproduced). Other than the spring it looks like the oem shock I have. I'm think White Bros. probably added that spring and revalved the shock.

    here's my best attept at recreating the decal:

    The latest progress. I finished polishing the top triple tonight. First thing I did was removed all those nasty casting marks. 6 hours later (because I'm slow) this:
