  1. ok , if you are using relays you cannot use a tap , the relays are not enough of a load to make the tap work . if you are trying to go from a 5 wire to a 4 trailer and are using 4 relays you need 1 more relay and 2 diodes the diodes gos between the stop light wire and the rite and left turn wire the arrow on the diodes point to the turn wires . or put a universal 5 to 4 converter between the 5 relays and the 4 wire trl. if your confused you can call me i am a retired r.v. tech and build m/c trls. on the side . good luck is not hard just sounds that way thom 386-717-1816

  12. OK, i have built a few trikes, and i have looked at my 86 vr thinking about making a trike. the easy way to make with a 1g is cut down a rear end to 38 in. brake backing to backing you need to off set the 3rd member about 3 in. get rid of the mono and swing arm . use 11 gage 11/2 squire tubing and build a 4 link to the rearend the top 2 links come from where the the top of the mono was mounted and the bottom two links from where the swing arms were. the drive shaft can be made by using the front of the vr u joint and the rear u joint that fits the rearend . i like the combow air bags and shocks from airride , they cost the most but are the easyest to use or you can use coilover shocks, ones from a heave m/c are best. it is not that hard to make a trike if you can weld and use metal tools you can get the rear cut down at most auto machine shops.the best way to start is to get a old vr frame [ ask don ] and fab everything up before taking apart your bike . use 14 in narrow tires , easyer to steer well this is a start if you need more info pm me thom:parrots:
