"trike axles" plural? you planning on starting a business? there are quite a few out there. you want just the axles or axle/swingarm setups or are you looking for the full fiberglass kits?

Hi Grimm
I am just wanting to trike a few trikes for myself and some friends. I live 10 miles out on a nasty gravel road, my wife rides also but really dislikes the gravel road. She would like to have a trike. I would move closer to town but they frown on 200 pair of cows running around in town. No sense of humor these days they get grouchy when the cows graze on the golf course! So i am looking just for the axles I will build my own swing arm set ups. And as for the fiberglass we will build as needed.

well, as far as naked axles, you will find Mystery, Santiago, Exile and Frankenstein. I'm sure there are more, but i can't think of them.
I have the Frankenstein 30" rear end. works flawlessly. excellent tech help and looks freakin cool as hell....

Grimm pretty much sumed it up with the axle suppliers and they also supply swing arms at reasonable prices. Don't think it would even pay too weld up your own. All the figureing and testing has been done for you. Time is money. Buy the axles and swing arms and then customize the rest of the bike as needed..........best thing would be contact them and see who would be willing to give bulk or wholesale discount......
Good luck...
