irs to swing axle conversion?
type82e - May 13th, 2003 at 07:03 AM

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?
(A friend is building a bontrike and I have a rear torsion cut of a superbug but he needs a swing axle setup in the trike)

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?
