Drive shaft
Hi. FYI I had a 2013 wing with 45000 on Roadsmith conversion. Had a high speed vibration at over 60 mph. Turned out to be a bad universial joint. The needle bearings were all gone in one of the caps. This was on end closest to rearend, very lucky didn’t come unglued. They don’t have grease zurks on u joints, I put them on when I had the shaft repaired. Just bought new Roadsmith on new 2017 1800, no zurks either. High speed vibration-check u joints, had 1/4 play in joint. Thanks

Had similar problem on my drive line, U joints were in really bad shape even though I kept them greased. Also a differential oil weep on the left side wheel seal. Think the guy who changed the differential oil did not follow my instructions to fill it only where he could touch the oil with his finger, and over filled causing pressure and the weep.

My 2010 wing (triked out two seasons ago) [B]DOES[/B] have grease (2) zirks.. I'm leaving for a five day trip tomorrow, so I did crawl under the trike (yes i had to use jacks to lift up bike) and I shot a wad of grease onto the shaft...
