Mods feel free to move to the more than 2 wheels section if that is more appropriate but as an active build I thought this seemed a more fitting place. After determining my Snow Bike build wasn't for me and not having any luck selling it I've decided to use parts off it to build a drift trike.
I found a bike off Craigslist to use for the front end.
I ordered a drift trike axle kit, tire sleeves from OldMiniBikes, some steel from my uncle's weld shop and a pipe bender from Harbor Freight. Time to build....
Breaking the bead on my Snow Bike tires so I could use the wheels. I wanted to use the tires but I couldn't find sleeves big enough to fit.
New 10.5 x 4.5-6 tires mounted on my 6.5 x 6 wheels from my Snow Bike with drift trike sleeves from OldMiniBikes.
Rear axle assembled with bearings, sprocket and disc brake. Can anyone tell me if I have the locking collars in the right place? They came with the kit but I'm not real familiar with go kart live axle setups.
Starting to plan. The seat is a tractor seat from eBay and the engine is the original Tecumseh HM80 from my Snow Bike. I was going to put it on a Fox Trail Tramp project I have but for now it will go here.
