Wish I still had a picure of a wheelchair trike I saw at one of our gatherings. It was really cool. The guy pulled himself up the ramp and the chair locked into place, ramp came up behind and was ready to roll. IIRC the brakes were both on the handlebars and shift was jockey style.

Looks good but something aint right about the huge gap between the rear tire and fender. The shocks look like they are 250 but the gap seems too large.

not sure what the gap should be at all. Any help in finding out what it should be, the adjuster is set at 4 and its a nice stiff ride, give me some pointers please. I think on 1 its a soft ride and the higher the adjustment the harder the ride (right)

You got a sweet deal on your bike.
I have run into the same question on the 450 rebels. On my rebel it sits lower over the rear tire than the last one I sold. I called Jack at the rebel warehouse and he didn't have a answer for the difference. My rebel sat almost 1 1/2" lower than the gray one I sold.
It would be nice if someone could come up with the answer.
Maybe I should start a thread on this. Has anyone else noticed that some rebels sit different over the rear tire?
