Well i just finished my trike progect it didnt take long maby 2 months of working on it 1 or 2 days a week for a few hours a day. I started with a suzuki jr50 frame i got from a yardsale for 7$ . I cut it up about a year ago to put on a honda engine but i did it very poorly yet it worked. I spent maby 3 hours total fitting the new engine. Then i got this idea to make a trike because i had all the pieces for one. I even made a brake for it from a crotch rocket. The seat i made myself and pretty much everthing on it exept the front end from the jr50. It came out awesome and it has tons of power with the big sporcket on it.

looks good - differential looks pretty stout - what did it come out of? does it work? looks like it may be pinned solid from one of the pics - i'm using one of those n.h. northern diffs. - rated for like a 10h.p. - does good with the 16h.p. briggs - not sure for how long though --

the diff is from a lawn tractor. I pinned it solid because it slips too much with it being a trike and all. It should hold up however the last diff i pinned solid was the one on my jeep and it broke the shaft where i drilled it. I pinned it so it goes better in the snow. I just replaced the shaft from another junkyard diff and it works fine now but i didnt drill it again. The jeep has alot more tourqe and bigger tires on it becuse of the low gearing it has with the transmition. I doubt it will fail on the trike
