Above 60kph Hair Raising Drama :

The trike had an 18" wheel and side car tyre but proved to be a real wobbling handful above 60kph, so I decided to fit a 15" X 4" rim to the CX500 wheel.
This meant cutting down the spokes & welding wedge shaped sections to the rim.
The hub and spokes was inserted between the 5 wedges & twisted, the spokes were then drilled and cap head bolted together.
I added a brace to the swing-arm as well.
