Casarva Harley Dyna Wide Glide FXDWGI christened  “Sacre Bleu” by the owner, is built in full Stainless Steel with a Reverse Gearbox and our Independent Rear Suspension system. We were commissioned to build this trike entirely in Polished Stainless Steel with a bespoke Rack, Sissy Bar and Armrests. If you know anything about fabricating in stainless you will know how tricky that is on something like this.

We converted the final drive to chain from belt to allow us to extend the wheelbase and fitted a reverse gearbox to the side of the engine. To ease the steering ewffort raked triple trees replaced the originals.

“Sacre Bleu”It features a bespoke seat, Casarva headlights and Casarva Flip wings with stainless side panels and flame cut outs. and has custom paintwork to match the original Harley Davidson Limited Edition (this is number 14 of 200 worldwide).

What is Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) on a trike?

Casarva IRS (independent Rear Suspension) trikes handle better and and are more comfortable to ride than those with a solid axles. The tyres stay planted in the road surface giving you maximum control if the road gets a little tricky because each side has its own suspension system which are connected by an anti-roll bar made in spring steel. This assists the shock absorbers in keeping the rear end planted, reduces rider shock and assists with steering.

The drive line irrespective of being chain  (like this Casarva Harley Dyna Wide Glide trike), shaft or belt driven, has a differential which allows the wheels to turn independently of each other via half shafts which have been tailor made to each trike and there are options on the track width and wheelbase length to make sure that the trike is set up to be the best it can be. Tyres and wheel size are selected to works best with each trike – one size definitively does not fit all not fit all.
