Re: Starter cable size
That cable size should be perfectly fine, I wouldn't go any smaller, no harm (only cost) in going bigger. Car Builder Solutions do a range of cable sizes for starter motors, maybe worth a look. I also found this on the web which may be pertinent. Moto Guzzi starter motors (Bosch/Valeo) typically dra...

Re: T4 Build: Clutch
Are you thinking of replacing the clutch because there is a known problem with it or because it seems like a good thing to do as part of the new build? If the latter then it might be worth considering how many miles the donor bike has done and how many miles a year you would realistically use the Ty...

Re: Ammeter
The ammeter measures the amount of current going into or out of the battery so it needs to be wired in series with the main feed from the battery to the electrical system (though not the feed from the starter solenoid to the starter motor). You will need to investigate your particular wiring setup t...

Will it be possible to park a towcar and trailer onsite or nearby do you know?

Re: 33rd German Threewheeler Meeting, 04-07. Sept. 2026
The hotel booking link isn't working properly as it shows no room availability for those dates (although the actual hotel website does). I've contacted the hotel directly to book a room but hopefully it's just a glitch...

Re: New Triking owner, advise needed please.
Congratulations on joining the club! In order to gain access to the tunnel for the fuel hose (and the gearbox linkage) your best bet is to safely raise the whole Triking up as much as possible, otherwise you'll be on your knees, bending right over it. There is limited access to the tunnel from under...

Re: Body fitting
If it was mine, I would grind off the inside of the body so that it follows the curve of the lower chassis rail. Whilst the fibreglass can be flexed and possibly have the flange forced round, any prolonged force can cause gel coat cracks to appear, spoiling the paint finish. You will still be able t...

Re: Horn at idle
If you're using the steering column horn push you definitely want it through a relay as the wiring is really thin and won't pass a lot of current. On my Trikings, I installed an 80 amp relay operated by the ignition switch. The switched feed was wired to the starter motor connection which is directl...
