![]() ![]() We are building our trike with independent rear suspension so the frame work holding the Diff will be made to hold the starter assy. I then turned the outside circle down with a index lip to fit the ring gear and drilled 8 -1/4" holes in the outside perimeter to fit the ring gear. 8 holes are drilled through the plate to match corresponding holes in the yoke. I then machined a disk out of 1/4" plate steel that would fit tightly over the index lip of a modified 7.5" pinion yoke. I removed a 38 tooth flywheel ring gear from a 35-40 hp OMC outboard motor flywheel, they use 8 -1/4" bolts to hold the ring gear on. In my research I found out some trike company's offer a reverse by installing a starter ring gear to a disk attached to the pinion yoke of the 7.5" ford Diff or to the opposite side of the axle where a belt or chain drive is used. Save the money and did not wont to be unhappy after the conversion, because afterall the venture is a fun ride on two wheels.Īs some of you know we are turning our 89 VR into a trike. We have worked part time jobs for the last three years to Yes money is an object and thats why we tried to be very careful who we purchased from. They had no idea my background with DMV until the visit was concluded and we were sitting in the office just talking kids and grandkids with the owners and they asked what we did for a living. The trip cost about 300.00 gas and room but I felt it was worth the effort to see first hand the machine we were planning to purchase. For my opinion this is a quality kit from a quality dealer. i was allowed to take close up photos of the Yamaha kit and look at the fit and finish of the proto type. They allowed us full access to the machine, paint and fiberglass shop and allowed the technicians to answer all questions. We went to the factory and spent the day looking and asking questions about the design and parts used. This kit fit it did not need the bolt holes drilled out or fender washers etc to put it together. Aving spent the last twenty years in DMV consumer protection, I researhed buliders and trikes carfefully. ![]()
