As the title says, I have a few questions about my trike, specifically changing the triple tree out.

OK, let me rephrase that since I got such an overwhelming response.
Anyone know where I can purchase a 6* raked triple tree?

I sincerely appreciate that "tip". But the unfortunate truth is, I've had the desired 6* triple tree on order from that site of almost 6 months. When I first ordered (by phone), I asked when I could expect the triple tree. Was told about a month. Waited 5 weeks and called, was told then that the triple tree hadn't been produced so, how long, about a month. Waited another 6 weeks or so and called again, was told the same response. On the next call after a few weeks, several reasons were given and was told about a month to six weeks to get it. To be very honest, I would not be looking now if, I had been given a reliable date of manufacture or shipment. That has yet to happen. Now, I can't even get the manufacturer to answer the phone when I leave a message and have never gotten a call back. I have had to change plans several times on planned trips and on some maintenance I wanted to do at the same time as installation of the new triple tree. I didn't start this thread to bitch about VTXtreme but, the fact is, he's not following through on his promise. I'm simply looking for another supplier. Rams |

No idea on quality of manufacturer or the operation, but looks like this guy in The Netherlands makes and sells 'em: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153888454011 |

Thanks, will give them a shot.
I don't even care at this point if I have to get a used one. Have found two 8* degree triple trees, I need a 6* (I'm told). Passed on the location and contact number to another member looking for the 8* tree. He's happy now. Shrug.

Does anyone know if TBR [ Two Brothers Racing] still makes triple clamps ? It appears that they don't, but, I didn't call them. I don't remember the specs, but, I bought one for the Valk soon after I bought it.
