THE DFT
DIFFERENCE
The D.F.T. independent suspension system starts with a
differential mounted in a two-piece case. The case is 'O' ringed
and sealed at the drive axles and mating surfaces. This serves
as the adaptation device that maintains the motorcycle's
original drive location and provides a mounting for the brake
rotor. The drive spool is then mounted in a pair of main
castings that are the foundation for mounting and placement to
the motorcycle, lower suspension pivot points, upper shock
mounts, brake caliper mount, drive spool and inner half shaft
bearing bosses.
All steel components, such as the lower arms and drive
shafts, are T.I.G. welded and plated in zinc dichromate. The
lower arms are fitted with tapered roller bearings at both the
main casting and outer carrier pivot points for long life and
smooth suspension movement. The half shafts use automotive type
universal joints equipped with grease fittings.
The outer wheel carrier employs a sealed, double row ball
bearing hub that mounts a 5 bolt x 100mm bolt circle, 16" front
wheel drive rim available in numerous styles from many sources.
The four shock's coil-over shock system provides tunable stance,
balance and vertical position. To complete the system and
enhance cornering and steering, a sway bar is provided. It is
easily adjusted through a turnbuckle and locknut arrangement,
and is mounted with spherical ends enabling a quiet, smooth,
positive operation.
The DFT trike kit is an easily installed, versatile and
adjustable, bolt-on package. What this means to you is a good
handling and extremely smooth and stable three-wheeled
motorcycle. Let us build one for you and experience the
difference an independent suspension can make.
