Here's a clip from a different position showing more clearly the suspension at work, this is with the ARB set at its softest position. I was taking a passenger for a ride which does help a little on left hand corners but not nearly as much as pre ARB. The tR1ke seems to create more than its share of interest from people wanting to have a passenger ride which is nice.

How much was the kit to add the anti roll bar mate? And might you assist on fitting one to mine mate? ;D

Hi Nick, The ARB kit cost £175, peanuts when you consider the difference it makes. Though if you're not going to be doing trackdays I would save your money as the std setup works fine providing you keep the centre of gravity as low as possible. You sit quite low in your seat considering you have padded seats, your helmet sits lower than the roll loop which is good.

yeah i'm not really that bothered about track days, so might not bother, yeah my seats are mounted on the floor at the rear points, and on posts at the front to give some lift. My centre of gravity is helped by my large middle tire......

Thanks Kevin for the great help with my Tr1ke build today at the show. It is invaluable to see another trike and where to put what, plus your build is a great one to see as it is tried and tested which gives me the confidence to fit mine in similar ways. Once again cheers, hope to catch up a ya track day soon.
Ian

Just play that last blast video of mine on a loop in your workshop as a reminder of what you'll have when its on the road

Funny enough I did go through your videos again and I am spurred on, not sure if the end of the month but I am sure it'll not take long. Thanks Ian

I would love to use mine for work but as I'm a plasterer it would be a struggle to carry all my tools, bags of plaster + cement mixer

Oh I don't know it would look brilliant turning up to a job in your tR1ke maybe with a small trailer:-) or just tow the cement mixer as they're on wheels aren't they :-)

I'll have a think about it, I know a man who makes tR1ke trailers... and maybe adding it along with my other upcoming modifications

Yesterday I took the tR1ke out for another thrashing at Blyton, a proper trackday with all sorts of weird cars, mind you they probably thought that about mine There was Porches a skyline, radicals and even 2 reliant kittens with defo not std motors plus the usual 7s. The clip is me following a MNR hayabusa
