    Jumping out of 4th gear - Gearbox rebuild

    Many thanks to the guy who pointed me at Carl Inkley at Just Rockets , what a star. My 2017 Rocket3 trike started jumping out of 4th gear. Managed to get the summer out of it but by autumn was looking to get the gearbox overhauled. In October I sent the trike down to Paul at Paul Lumley...

    excessive oil usage

    Need some help.I have now done 6500 miles and find oil usage is quite high more than 1 litre per 1000 miles .I bought the 2017 Rocker 3r with 3500 miles .I suspect the first 3500 miles running in were done with a gentle throttle and the rings never bedded in properly . There is no trace of oil...

    Mark2 Chariot Reborn at last!

    Sorry for not posting for so long. COVID, broadband problems. Now all sorted. The Chariot finally went to the weigh bridge last weekend. It clocks in at 480kg. Anything over 450kg has to go to a VOSA testing station for commercial vehicles over 35 hundred weight. Quite a delay in getting a test...

    Chariot rebuild

    Hi Guys, My Mac computer locked me out for about 3 weeks so a quick update on progress. Weather has turned crap here in Scotland so not pushing for an early finish. Paul thinks the end of October but I think that is optimistic. He has made another new mudguard for the front, the 2 rear and front...

    Chariot rebuild

    Latest pics of Trike rebuild, anti roll bar fitted, new front tyre. This is a rear adventure tyre. Should be better as has stiffer side walls and a greater contact patch to improve braking. Still playing with anti roll bar diameter and shock springs :) VIMEO

    Chariot Rebuild

    Hi, guys, Got the ABS tested last Saturday, just at slow speed 10MPH, but it works fine back and front. Only one shock was fitted each side to check for roll. Looks like we might get away with changing only two of the springs, perhaps around 750lbs. Paul is going to consult the manufacturer...

    Trike disaster!!

    Sad to say that the Mark 1 Chariot is no longer. We binned it on the 3rd of June. Total write off, CAT B for the Brits. Ended up upside down in a bog. Oddly enough I survived with chest and neck bruising and Johnny with his neck in a brace for 12 weeks. 2 nights in hospital for both of us! The...

    Advice wanted on good steering damper to fit to a 2016 R Trike

    I want to upgrade the steering damper on my trike. Not sure what I have as it hasn't got a manufacturers name on it, only 5 clicks adjustment. Was thinking of Hyperpro or possibly Ohlins. What mounting clamp etc. I have just ordered a Hyperpro 140 with offset 35 degree clamp. Hoping this will...

    First road test on the Chariot with new leading link forks fitted!

    Did 85 miles with my son Peter on Saturday on a nice windy route from Glasgow, Scotland to Callander and back. New forks are a great success. Before it felt like a workout. Definitely need a roll bar. Big thumbs up to (Paul) Lumley Engineering.

    Trike brakes

    Looking for some way to improve the braking to the rear wheels. Using EBC competition brake pads on standard Ford Sierra discs. These are an improvement on standard pads but not brilliant! Can't lock wheels up. Is the standard Rocket 3 slave cylinder the problem? Maybe the piston is not moving...

    Chariot leading link fork project

    At long last the fork conversion has been road tested and apart from getting the new front mudguard painted it is ready to come home. I am also getting the belly pan painted to match the front mudguard. Paul ( Lumley Engineering ) has second set of forks almost ready. They would require shocks...

    Leading link fork conversion.

    Sorry these are not in the right order lol. Next step is to attach callipers and bottom spring mounts, then get brake lines ordered.
