Dude learn how to use a camera then get back to us how do you expect anybody to watch this video you're too close to jumpy seriously what are you 12 years old or what
You would think if it needed a longer belt they would supply that I don't like the way the shock mounts are on that they don't look welded on their good enough sorry to say but actually it looks like the shittiest well done there I would weld it better
Hey Sir, I watched all four of the build videos before commenting. Well done, especially very good job explaining the entire process. I’ll probably do the same kit this winter when I’m stuck in the garage. Did you ever end up raking the trees? Thanks again for the thorough explanation. Dwight
Hi Dan. I'm doing the same conversion on my 1998 sporty. Looks like I will need to swap sides on the rear diff like you did to center the axels properly. How did you get the center section off the axle tubes? Any help is greatly appreciated!
The more i watched these videos, the more I was glad I went with Frankenstein. Good directions, good customer service and they answered my questions in a timely manner.
I recently built this DNA trike conversion on my 2019 Sportster 48. Gotta say your video series was invaluable. The only thing I'm having problems with is getting the brakes to work. I ordered the smaller callipers as you suggested but Would like to hear any secrets or tips you have for that.
Gotta thank you for your DNA video series. I just completed swing arm and axel install and yes, there's no instruction from DNA. Interestingly, I didn't have the differential line up issue, it fit perfectly on my 1200 Sporty. I didn't have to to replace the belt and the adjusting bolts are perfect if you put them in from the rear, so the bolt head is pushing on the axel. My shock bolts where also ok for length. I'm now trying to sort out the brake lines, could be fun. I'm thinking of going with a minimalist flat fender w/back from Amazon. Hope I don't regret that. Well thanks again. Chow 4 now.
Ive watched your build videos 3 times now. Im so impressed with this DNA kit, my swingarm and axle is due here in Leduc Alberta Monday and Im putting it on a 2019 Sportster 48 Special. Thanks for the play by play. 👍
Thanks for this video series. I'm in the process of ordering the DNA kit for my 2019 Sportster 48 Special. Looking forward to it, though have seen some horror stories about dealing with this company. Guess I'll see. Chow.
I am glad to hear that. Sometimes I regretted selling it but I had 2 and my wife said one had to go. So remind her to occasionally grease the differential. There are 2 grease zerts one on the outside of it and the other accesses through one off the slots on the hub. Anyway I am glad she still loves it. Tell her to ride safe...
@@danharrell6200 I had it painted a deep red last year,added a fork dampner, and put some wider handlebars on it. I have all the parts to put it back to two wheels as well. Thanks for the info on the differential
Hey Dan what problems did you have with your brakes I put one of them conversion kits on and I can’t get the bike to stop even with the two cylinder pistons Or do you have stopping problems that the breakdown grab that well
Very helpful videos. I need some dimensions of the rear mounting blocks and the plates on the swingarm, can you help me out? I can email a couple simple drawings of the measurements I need
I just got the same kit but it didn't come with any wheel studs. I've tried to contact DNA tech people but they wont answer the phone. I left several messages and my phone number and they don't respond to them either. Can you tell me where you got yours or what technical terms to use when ordering them?
I recently sold it and am working on a new trike project. I was very happy with it. Handled great. If you look at the credits after part 4of4 you will see who I got the kit and fenders from. Or you can contact DNA in California fo4 a frame and fenders, good luck, I am sure you will like it
I'm seriously thinking of converting my bike into a trike with this kit. I wish you'd taken video of the axle when it was apart as I'd love to see inside it. Are the bearings and spider gear housing sealed or can the grease work its way out? Also, does it come with a handbrake?
Sure, remove the hex screws that hold the hub together. Separate the hub then Remove the pulley, axle and inner differential gear assembly. Near the narrow end of the hub is a hex screw. Remove it. Then I stood up the hub and used a rubber mallet and hammered the press fit hub off the axle covering. You can also use a dead blow hammer or a large ball peon hammer and a block of wood. Work your way around it to work it off. Once both are removed, switch hubs, line up the hex screw hole on the hub with the axle cover. Hammer it back on and line up the screw and hole. Reassemble. If you are doing this because of the left wheel hub is too far to the left when the pulley and belt are lined up, you can always add a wheel spacer to the right side to equal both sides. Try that first and if you are happy with it, it will save you the work of switching the hub around. Let me know how it works
@@danharrell6200 thanks for your help dan,I done what you said,quite hard going doing it myself but got it done quicker than I thought,now everything is sitting absolutely perfect,well worth the effort,
@@bobbycarson5574 I am so glad to hear this, the only other problem that caused me grief was the brakes. I received a beautiful chrome brake caliper with 4 pistons. Did not work because there is not enough pressure to work on them. If this is what you got, do not install them. If you do you can’t rerun them. Call your sales person and get the 2 piston calipers instead.
@@danharrell6200 when my kit arrived one of the callipers was damaged,they are just gineric copys anyway,so I got another pair,slightly different design,but they are 2 pot and they fit,the only other issue i have is the exhaust,I've got the originals on with mids,I might just add a section into the rear header to bring the muffler under the axle
Hey Dan I have the Frankenstein trike kit on my electraglide and I love it it is completely stable ! I have been riding for 5 years no problems just my experience I recommend Frankenstein
Technically, they are "socket head cap screws" "Allen" is a registered trademark, named after William G. Allen, who held a patent. The name "Allen Wrench" has become a generic term for any hex key. I have never actually owned any "Allen" brand hex keys, but my buddy has a set.
Looks like u have older style shock mount,I did and 1st ride out it broke! Weeks later DNA sent me a New mount.like twice the thickness,with heavier gussets.no problems after that.Got mine frm Rebecca also...awsome lady.
