    Anyone got any experience with these or DNA products?  Thinking about another project using an old Heritage as a donor bike and mating the rear end to it.  Will set it up as a single seat with a wooden tray.

    They are made by Paughco for DNA and are very Cheap and Poor Quailty, We bought one in for a Customer a when they first released them about 2 years ago. I wouldn't use one

    Hi All
    I am new to this forum, found it by re searching DNA trike diffs, the good n bad, they are certinally much cheaper than the Frankenstein diff, especially with the Aust dollar.
    Have had thoughts cutting down a car diff and using, although independent better, have idea on this,
    From my understanding in Qld providing you leave the origional rear guard and suspension you only need a independent inspection from class ???? Roadworthy to approve.
    For reverse had thought using starter motor on cam with 12v solonoid to pull it in, will look into Nippenesendo reduction drive in the posts.
    Any more info on these diffs greatly appreciated

    Thanks Dave
