All Casarva Trike kits feature Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)

The Casarva “Brute” family of Kits are made in 31.75mm (1.25″) 2.64mm walled British Steel Tube which is very strong.

All of our DIY IRS Shaft Drive Trike kits are ready to receive the BMW 5 Series E39 Differential (just tell us which side your bike’s shaft is on for configuration).

Scroll down this page for a list of what is included with the kit and below that for the rest of the parts you will need to build your trike.

You will need access to welding and machining facilities to mount the kit to your bike. We will give you advice and photos on the same or if not similar bike to trike conversions we have built at the Casarva works to help you with that.
