axle lugs question?

[vqbigpapa]

Hello everyone it's been a while since I posted last, been occupied, wondering why there's so little aftermarket stuff for my freewheeler ... That being said, I was wondering if anybody thought about switching from a 4lug axle to a 5lug, there seems to be no whole axle available, just some adaptor plates which in turn creates a whole other set of problems, like fender/tire fitment issues bearing plate issues witch DK Customs have an option for that, But I haven't been able to find an axle company that makes an axle with 5lug that I can just swap out the whole 4lug axle with. there seems to be more 5lug rims options that would look killa on the trike...Anyway, any info would be nice. thanks guys....

Pull your axles bring them to a machine shop & have them drilled to whatever bolt pattern you want , Have them press in new studs .

If you change you will have to source new rotors
