Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

i'd say it would be no trouble to it having seen the abuse that they get when offroading. tip across to www.4xforum.net, register there and ask for an axle over there. there is a lot of suzuki heads over there and most if not all would have a samurai or 410 rear axle (i'm on there as serious3, same as here) register as octopuss2 and i'll approve you asap:D

If you ask a question on any of the forums at btwireland.com, btwukonline.co.uk or britchopper.co.uk, you should find some useful and knowledgeable answers when it comes to trike building. There's a guy on the btwuk forum who calls himself Thunderace, he's an engineer and serial trike-builder - really knows his stuff, is pretty good at replying promptly and has helped me more than once with technical stuff. Those forums are free to join, but you'll need to register first. The btwireland one is worth checking out in terms of the legal and insurance requirements for registering a trike in Ireland - I strongly recommend you check that stuff out before you start building or even buying parts, as it's not as easy/straightforward as in the UK.
