How We Started
Before
we started to make the forks, we sat down with the engineers to see how we
could jig the making of the forks, so they would always be exactly the same,
as a standard set here are used for the V8 Trikes we build.
The forks are made using
3 different jigs, which will only allow exact duplication, otherwise the
fabrication will not fit on to the jig for welding, the parts of each
individual fork are tig welded for strength, by an experienced welder, after
the item is completed it must then be checked by a craft man before the item
can be used..
Here is a view of the forks from the side, see how the shock absorbers and springs are parallel to the forks, allowing travel without resistance to the fork member.
Here at threewheelsmad, we only use brand new components, when we manufacture these leading link forks. Looking at the front view you can see we always use brand new shock absorbers and springs Note the distance between the axle shaft and the pivot shaft on the bottom arm, this distance is critical to give smooth braking and deter steering wobble when hard braking
