Birth of a Trike
All Trikes are custom built in a jig.
The story begins:
Remove the topbox and all panniers, the supporting frames, rear mudguard
and light units, shock absorbers, rear wheel and diff, swinging arm and
propshaft and rear braking system. Then modify the rear swinging arm
bushes to accept the new chassis.
Chassis:
Constructed out of 2.5mm thick 40mm x 40mm Box Steel, it is jigged and
mig welded to the highest standard.
Axle:
The prop and drive shafts are custom made for Baron Trikes, the donor
dif housing is from a Ford Sierra, rebuilt with custom made gearing.
Suspension:
Purpose built fully independent rear suspension (based on a racing car
design) with fully adjustable racing shocks and coil springs.
Brakes:
50/50 split using Sierra rear drums/shoes and a racing Master Cylinder.
The handbrake is an exclusive foot operated electronic Park/handbrake
with push button release.
Wheels:
Alloys, made by T.W.S./Wolfrace, wheel spinners are also availably.
Trike:
The new chassis assembly is attached to the bike at the swinging arm
fixing points and shock absorber points. The fibreglass body and extra
side panels are sprayed to match the existing base colour of the donor
bike and carefully mounted on the new structure. |
