occ trike conversion
- Thread starter mybike
- Start date
I remember having to alter the rear-ends to fit the wider drop-outs on 2 different OCC trikes me n azvinnie did using 2 different types of bolt-on trike rears
it will be challenging for you to say the least

thanks for posting those pics
that was our first occ trike
we had to remove approx 2" from each side and re-weld the ends to accept the bearings
(alignment is CRUCIAL, or the shaft won't go in or back out)
PS...the brake was really cheap from BMI karts ($15-20), but is very difficult to adjust so it doesn't squeal and has been changed to a disc already

Russell, some more questions.
Is that a straight axle? If not, what kind of setup are usung?
What size wheels are you using?
what size tubing did use to make up the unit?
Thanks for any help

it started out as a stock trike kit rear-end
we bought a whole conversion kit from SpookyTooth (R.I.P.)
the wheels are called 'hollow-hubs'
this is the same rear end tho

Thanks everyone for all the imformation. I'm putting a list together to convert my occ chopper to a trike, figuring the cost of parts etc, where to get what I need and what I can build myself. Considering the price of a differential I may just go with a split axle. I don't believe I would like a live axle although it would be good around here in the winter time with knobbys and studs. Steep drive and hills. I will build my own saddle with sealed bearings, 5/8 axle and free wheel one side. (undecided about that.)
It looks like I'm going to have to buy another chopper bike to get another 20 x 4 1/4 wheel.
Question. What tooth sprocket do most jackshaft use on the engine drive side? I'm thinking of using a 44th in the middle (since I already have one) to drive the 50 th axle or what do you guys recommend for sprockets?
Would upload picture of my bike, but i can't figure out the resize on photobucket. doing something wrong or not doing it right. ug
Will keep posted on what I decide to do.

Hey Mybike,
If you can weld or have a good friend who will do it for you here is a tutorial for a trike rear you can put together for around 75.00

Hey chainmaker, thanks for that imformation. That is the post I was looking for before but I couldn't find it again. My step son does all my (government) jobs at his work place for me. He can weld aluminum, steel, copper, u name it. They have a fairly complete shop. So making things isn't to much of a problem, just time permitting and boss isn't around. Some times even gets the material furnished. Scrap material of course.
