excellent build log
I will try some of your ideas myself
(I wish I had the skill/confidence to build a 'brainfork'...have had the plans for a couple years)
Itz actually quite easy Mr Brain has done wonderful
job on the plans, i like the style better than the onez available from ChoppersUS TBH...
Update
Battery decision business aside...i finished the modz on the trikez rear end, trike is again in rolling status

The shortened axle housing has done the trick as far as chain alignment is
concerned, chain alignment from sprocket to the 1st gear on the freewheel is scwheet
the derailleur isnt needed to keep it over in first gear, im hoping now under full load
ie.quick acceleration take offs the chain will stay on and not flex the derailleur and drop it
into second gear...
Some may have spotted the lower ride hieght yet increased clearance for the sprocketz ;-)
Trike is also ~50mm shorter...this has worked out excellent one of those thingz that
happened but wasn't planned--> I can sit on the trike and easily wheel it around pushing it
like you would a wheelchair i might get a small vid of that in future ;-)
i reckon i could make a couple of kilometers on it, would take a
awhile no doubt but now an option i didnt have before if/when i break down
...OH...larger 3in tirerz look the business i thinkz ;-)Might have to follow ol'
safes
lead in respect to joining a couple of rimz together and lace em up, the larger tires would
flatten out more... shall keep a keen eye on how safe goes with his attempts at this,
i think it should work very well, make for a strong rim to i guess with possibly t
he added benefit? :: shrugs :: of running two tubes in the one tire :: wink ::

Just the derailleur to bolt on (
need to make a lil extension for the mount)
Chain on brakes hooked up..i i bought 10 extra long brake cables from
ChoppersUS so i'll never be caught without again hahaha along with these
i got another 20 foot of the braided brake tubing/housing thang ;-)
So...new ride height, increased sprocket clearance shortened wheelbase with excellent
chain alignment ... YUPz...i do believe itz has been a worthwhile 'modification' I :: wink ::
I suspect the cornering will be improved even more too.....
Off to continue working on terrible hang over :: sigh ::Back soonz...
