Due to a dishonest vendor on e-bay i now have to re-calculate the gearing ratio .If i work on on a 109 top speed for a solo cx would i be a bout right aiming for 94 gearing top end for the trike ?.(with ford axle)

Also i sent off the cx log book to the dvla telling that it was a three wheel tricycle and they have sent i back duly changed.Except for the taxation class.
As it will be off the road for a while yet i have sorned it ,should i be doing anything else / and is it easy to change the taxation class.

Thanx

109 mph for a solo CX500 - fuckin'ell you'd be lucky wouldn't you? mine used to scream at 90! I found out a mate of mine stuck an escort mk3 axle and TVR wheels on his CX trike and it went faster than standard.
