Looks good. I'd imagine that would make the engineers squirm in their chair, and the warranty people sweat. But it looks like fun too. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Have pics of the 'makings' in progress?

Yes, finally, the old shoulder joint has been giving me a lot of problems so things have slowed down here, but I have been doing a little at a time, just finished this morning so haven't had a chance to get it on the hillside yet, but it will be a lot more stable I'm sure.
SnoFalls, I hear the old Honda three wheelers would float too, but they had a tendency to flip belly up, afraid that might happen with this too and the ROPS probably wouldn't help in that instance. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif JerryG, maybe BXtremeGoat /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
beenthere, since the warranty is long gone, I'll just have to keep an eye out for something to break, I got a few pics when I put the rear wheels together, but I have since took them apart and shortened the spacers so they would be closer together, when I take the fronts off, I can get some pics of how they are put together. The front wheels are held on with bolts so I had to make studs to put in the axle flange, I then used a connector nut to hold the front wheel on. The connector nuts were about 2" long so they were long enough to use a piece of all thread to extend out to hold the outter wheel on. I had to make a 1and1/4" spacer to go between the wheels, that was the hardest part to do, but it was fun work.

Milkman,
Look forward to seeing some detailed pictures showing how you did it!
I have a set of turf tires that I could put on the outside of the bars on my BX, to add stability on hillsides...if I felt the need.
Now you got me thinkin'...a dangerous proposition for certain... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
