Title: Long shot - anyone buy the unused final drive from the trike conversion?
Post by: Martin#30 on June 18, 2015, 06:59:09 PM
Evening all,

My final drive has started leaking (at the red arrow - picture not my bike, far too clean  :mfr_lol:) after 65k miles, and looking at the workshop manual, this is going to be a fairly difficult, time consuming job to replace the oil seal. If one is leaking, it would be sensible to do all of them at the same time to be honest and that means all sorts of left hand threads and bearing drivers needed by the looks of things.

I recall a couple of years back, there was a complete unused final drive assembly for sale from a trike conversion. Don't suppose anyone bought it as a spare did they, and possibly now want to sell it on  :ohplease:

I have a diff from my 1400 that was written off last year.
If you are interested I will put some pictures on here. It has done less than 20,000 miles .

Thanks all for the responses. I have seen the various used ones for sale, but none list a mileage of the bike they were taken from which puts me off. I really want to try and find a low mileage one so I can be confident that it has plenty of life left in it.

@doebag, if you could share a picture showing the condition of the diff and let me know how much you are looking for it, I could well be interested. I would need the whole rear bevel/diff assembly (as shown in the DK link that OC shared).

Martin.

Doebag,

Thanks for taking the time to share the photos. Pete's selection of spare parts was just too tempting for me, so I have bought those. Thanks again.

Martin.

ps: If you have the radiator, gear lever pedal and front footrest rubbers available from your bike, please let me know.

The radiator has been re-homed. The gear change lever was a write off. I should have the footpegs if I have a look around.
