BMI sells complete rear axle kits. If you aren't interested in purchasing an entire kit, you could at least find out the right size parts in the list description. http://www.bmikarts.com/Drift-Trike-Axle-Kit-with-Tires-Rims-40-Chain_p_3306.html

Was the trike build from years ago blue with a wood bed?

I like the proportions with the 6" light, especially with the tape on the lens. It reminds me of a rally race car; which matches the rest of the bike; and gives the entire bike a beefy, racer look that is super tough. Awesome looking bike!

Thank you, sir! There's roughly an 1/8" between the brake hubs, brakes and sprockets mounted. Calipers will have space between each other; but bolting the lower mount will be kooky.

Looks like an early ES engine. They are all labeled Subaru now. Great engines; smooth and quiet.

Awesome. I love it!

Problem#2... Simple. Drill new holes! Here, I have already drilled the holes into the disks, and getting ready to drill matching holes into the sprocket. Schweet!!! I ordered the button head bolts from ebay in a not-so-common 5/8" length in a 1/4-28 fine thread bolt, but was sent 1/4-20s...

As far as the knockoff, I finally got around to filling the knockoff with Amazing Resin and casting the hurricane nuts into place. Interesting, the hubs on the rear wheels are not flat. They dome a little bit; maybe built that way, maybe spoke tension causes it; I'm not sure. The issue this...

Dude. Are those skulls on the INSIDE of the chainguard?!? Nasty.

So nice, I liked it twice!!!

To add, the final tubing/pipe size will be bigger. The top tube will be roughly 1-1/2" od (1" rigid alum). The lower will be either the same, or 3/4" rigid alum which is roughly 1.2" in od.

Been a bit on the broke side lately, and wanting to explore the possibility of mounting the disks inboard necessitated some funds. Parts are finally ordered, here's to hoping that it works. In the meantime, to provide a proof-of-concept (and a reason to show a picture, lol) of something I am...

Btw, awesome choice on the pattern for the direction you are going in. Some of you guys building here leave no stone unturned; and that level of attention to detail is inspiring.

10-4. I was interested in how well the home rigs work, but having a friend that does it certainly trumps that idea. That whole process still seems magical to me.

Do you own your own setup, or having it done?
