as I have said before my uncle is 94 years old. He drives a 2006 goldwing that he had triked in 2014. Well bike had 130,000 on it 2hen he converted it, bikes now has 286,324 miles. Well he wore out right side cv axle, kit is a lehman monarch 2 lls independent suspension.  Well lehman is out of business and champion who bought them is also gone. Good thing for Google and good old phone calls. Finally found a guy in Arizona who has most of parts needed for this trike. Well got axle, finally found axle seals as he did not have those. I also learned near the end they used whatever, well brake set up caliper and pads of an acura car. Have not found rotors yet, don't need right now. The gentleman I am dealing with says when needed replace everything with what belongs on there. Got trike together after 2 weeks of findng parts and the time. Well uncle is upset as he just had caderact surgery in one eye(I said uncle first eye problem in 94 years thats awesome, his remark is but matty its cutting into my riding. Lol. Well I have trike back for 2 rear tires and I am surprising him as i been cleaning and buffing the old girl out.
Thanks for listening

If, you're looking to adopt any more Uncles, I'm available.

What you've done and are doing is a great thing.   cooldude

D&D Discount MC bought out Champion trike. I presume this is your AZ source, but if not, get ahold of them for help.
