New Trike
VWBuild,
You don't necessarily have to replace the wheel or the neck to get front brakes. First, find out what Harley the spool came from and look at the rotor(s) for that spool. Then check out the calipers for both the Harley and GL1100. Here are pictures of the front end that is going on my mid-engine trike. It consists of a GL1500 Easy-Steer triple tree, CBR900RR forks (45mm dia), CBR900RR calipers, and a Harley VRSC wheel and rotors. I had to fabricate an axle to go from metric (25mm) to SAE (1 in)and some caliper repositioning plates to get the Honda calipers correctly positioned on the Harley rotors. You can probably use the repositioning plates to adjust the caliper to rotor fit.
