View attachment 110345The welder said this is over kill, I hope he's right. :clapping:

this will stop any bending in the up and down(as pictured) but nothing for right to left or twisting corner to corner. if you put another plate on the bottom of the ribs it would stop the twist stitched around the out side an a few plug welds to the ribs would be good. dont forget some access holes to get your socket in

View attachment 95479Now you know WHY I call this mock up...EDIT: Need's to be changed to a swing arm style? Bellcrank?View attachment 95506Maybe put the control arms/swing arm inboard and the shocks running outside along the frame?

EDIT: This single shock with bell crank is installed on RebelRouser.

OK, I took these photos this morning (iPhone) after fixing the trike table and I could not stand the surface rust on the front fender, so the batteries are full charge and the motor is bolted back down, and...-I am really getting tired of fighting with this damn Chinese wiring...Sooo guess who is also looking at a HF gas engine with electric start. Now I'll play with Papa Zs tool bar.And this is the West wall I made for keeping my toys safe, notice the double doors. I hope this kicked up the property value a lot...
