to convert irs to swing axle is it just a matter of pulling of theirs arms and spring plate and fitting a swing axle spring plate and cover?

to answer your question, yes.

I'd try to stick to IRS. I have seen IRS bon-trikes.

Yes. But why? IRS is much better, especially with wide tyres that most of these trike thingos seem to run

I tried telling him that but he insisted he needed the swing axle suspension?
