Just a small update . The 650lb rear suspension unit is a little too soft . Replaced with a 1000lb unit and it's spot on . Swing arm is done and sprayed . Had to put build on hold as Arthritis got bad . Started building a custom wiring loom for headlights , rearlights and indicators .
Not sure yet , I am thinking of behind the seat or maybe under the seat . The controller will be mounted near the front suspension . I may think about a small 12v lithium battery pack ( soley for the lighting curcuit ) I have tested the setup just using a vehicle starter battery pack and perfect . I bought all the lights, indicators etc from Amazon and Ebay along with silicone wiring as its way better than ordinary off the shelf wire/cable . Looks like I won't get to ride trike this summer/year as utility bills are getting a joke and everything just increases . so having to save money where I can and it's taking longer than originally planned
Just an update . Not really done much since last posting . Arthritis has trully set in and having so much pain and poor movement I have had to "down tools" for a while . Really miss my hot tub as it was a great way of pain relief , but as the utility bills have sky rocketed . Had to drain and clean it , and switch it off untill electric bills come down to a reasonable level as I cannot see disability payments going up inline with cost of living . I hate this time of year . If I do find that I can do a little and worth posting some pics etc . will keep this thread updated . I do apologise for my absence as life somethimes throws a spanner in the works .
