Front end swap (650-500)

The frustration.. continues.... discovered all three brake lines plugged.... thankfully we have a local spot that builds them..... the 500 gauges mount to the 650-gauge bracket... the center dash cluster on the 500 mounts with two horizonal holes.. the 650..two vertical holes.... break out the drill... with the wide dual forks... the lower triple tree steering stops (blocks) need a small section added (welded) to prevent the upper fork touching the fuel tank. Thankfully I know a welding guru.

As a retired muffler-brake guy...I know a little about brakes....I was going to swap to full size drums brakes... a easy project.... I ask'd our local warehouse brake parts outlet about the Cj (4?) rear brakes .... " discontinued " ..... I ask'd local junk yards... " crushed years ago "....I ask'd local 4x4 shops... " they may have them somewhere in Texas.. " .... the trike stops well for city.... but at times I do get on the freeway and the braking wasn't great. Yesterday I got the discs bled... checked the fluids .... fired the trike up... been sitting two years.... it started straight away.... rode it 15 feet forward and backwards.... this weekend trailer it to my weld'n buddy...... today visit the local cycle boneyard and see if they have 650 headlight ears..... if not... Mike's Xs sells slide on replacements.... ( photo is the day I got it )
