I believe, but I have been known to be wrong, that Ford put out a differential that could do the job. Well, that is what they mainly use for the 1500s to trike. You should check it out, it is either a 7inch or 7.25 inch, the Ford fraternity will know which vehicle it comes from, and you should be able to pick one up at a wrecker's yard.

Hi I would like to know if you progressed any further with the Gl1000 Trike conversion as I have just had the spark of an idea to build one for my other half as she was put off riding her 650 Nighthawk when she slid on a cow pat in the lakes and almost hit the back of a Range rover.
I told her it was a testament to her good riding that A) she didn't fall off and B) that She managed to miss the Range Rover LOL.
Anyway I have just acquired 2 GL1000 motors that I hope to make one good one out of and than get a donor bike or frame and carry on from there.
Any info would be most appreciated.
John
