Re: Vulcan 900 Trike Build
I ran into some fitment problems tonight getting the fiberglass body and everything to line up. Kinda looks like the axle needs to slide back a few inches and the only way that will happen is 1. Buy a longer drive belt, or 2. Replace the oversize pulley with one that matches the OEM diameter. I've sent pictures and questions to the kit supplier. I hope they have a quick and painless solution.
Here's pics of the problem: The last picture shows it best. The wheel wells are touching the front edge of the tires and there is a large space behind the tire plus the seat is still not down as it should be and the touring trunk is hanging off the rear of the fiberglass base way to far. I checked the pulley diameter difference again and it's over an inch different which makes the circumference over 3" difference which just might be the entire problem. It would actually be simpler to put a longer belt on it than to swap the pulley out for a smaller one at this point but I'm sure nobody is going to want to buy me a new belt and they might swap out the pulley. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
