This is a Casarva Moto Guzzi Trike based on the California 1400 Vee twin. it is fitted with the Casarva Shaft Drive Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) trike conversion. The owner also selected the Casarva Elite Reverse gearbox option. This means there are no areas you can ride in to that you cannot easily ride out of. So you can effortlessly deal with high kerbs, cambers and steep driveways. It works using the engines power to pass through a manually selected reverse gear. This trike has custom made raked fork yokes to make steering lighter. To take away the exhaust we made a stainless steel twin exhaust, rerouted underneath to bottom wishbones.
Alloy wheels – Avus Multi-spoke silver alloys (which are a good match to the front wheel), have mudguards painted in the same russet red of the donor bike. The conversion steelwork is in 1.25″ diameter steel tubes (the same as the bike’s frame and is blasted, zinc primed and powder coated in black to match the bike’s
What is Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) on a trike?
Casarva IRS (independent Rear Suspension) trikes handle better and are more comfortable to ride than those with a solid axles. Tyres stay planted in the road surface giving you maximum control if the road gets a little tricky. How? Because each side has its own suspension system which are connected by an anti-roll bar (ARB) made in spring steel. The ARB assists the shock absorbers in keeping the rear end planted, reduces rider shock.
The drive line – chain, belt or shaft – has a differential which allows the wheels to turn independently of each. Half shafts are tailor made to each trike. There’s track width options too. With all these options and more each trike is custom built to meet the owners needs.
