Hello, I recently purchased a 1996 HD Lehman Trike with drum brakes. Can you send me your disc brake conversion plans?

Nobody at Lehman or any dealer could not tell me why they offered a kit, but would not produce it. No way was I giving these people 4K for a set of disc brakes.......so I built my own. If anyone is interested in making a disc conversion for a drum brake equipped Lehman, I can guide you through it.

Parts will cost your around $350-$400, depending on your sources. I am not a machinist, nor do I have a lathe. I did do some fabrication in my garage and had some minor machine work performed on a pair of rotors.
Lehman did everything humanly possible to prevent anyone from figuring out what parts they cobble together to manufacture their rear end. I certainly don't fault any company for protecting confidential information. Everybody knows us Harley nuts and we will make every effort to build a better mouse trap. It took me a while but I dug it all out. Just for pure joy, I will share "how to" with any interested party.
Email is rodserrao@yahoo.com if you can send me the instructions
