    Most chinese tripples are steel, most. Either way, you just need to figure your width, cut the tripples, add the necesary material and re-weld. The way it's cut and re-welded it's crucial to the strength of the parts. Be it aluminum or steel. It all depends how much your willing to spend.

    You can widen aluminum or steel tripples. Actually you have to (If you wanna build a trike). Aluminum it's just more expensive to weld. A 90 or 110 what? Bike, ATC?
