2006 Motortrike vtx1800 N .... IS my next ride.... YES
Its OURS.
Couldnt find how to edit first post to change subject line. :mad: But i did figure out how to manage attachments.. :p
Had not done anything at time of pictures but take the trunk/luggage rack off. Rolled it into the morning sun.
Spent all day yesterday fixing, cleaning and polishing chrome. Still have to get aluminum polish for the wheels, but they look like they were cared for before.
The trunk support WAS a used cutting board, and had MOLD where it sandwiched on luggage rack. :skull: Looks SO nice with the large black trunk off.
Have to clean the double sided tape and stick on LED strip off the rack, but will put it back on. It looks like the chrome is OK.
Carrier (2005 Chariot 13' tandem) and Camper (2006 Phoenix Cruiser 2350) in the background. Fit right in with the 2006 VTX! :clapping:

Pretty sure it needs a new front tire, gets a shake to it at speed. The left exhaust was not put on well, got it on for now. Going to have to do some work to get the tips to be symmetrical, but it is close for now. Hoping these get the sound down to 'stealth' level. They should fit behind the end caps on my tailpipes, and easily removable.

To respect the 'but loud pipes save lives!!' statements that will follow, I would like to add this for alerting my fellow motorists. (Not to mention maybe a relay..maybe add an aux battery. 18 amp draw! ) This horn is 139dB . Straight pipes are ~125dB, and the horn has a perception of being 'twice as loud' :xzqxz:..

5 x 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 deep, have to scout out a good mounting spot. But WOW would that work, and not piss off my neighbors when I take the trike to work at 3:30 AM.
Want to get more of the front floorboards to make Mrs V an entrance step, and to replace the pegs. It is quite the time getting on the back with the tiny 'bird perches'. :laugh: And i could use the entrance step also to help the hip out.
TONS of wasted room under the stock rear fender, and behind the trunk. Aux battery mounting could be easy. Likewise extra storage.
Not happy with the rear brake action. The rear master applies part of the front brakes, and the drums in back. The cylinders are working, and look like new inside. I took off the drums and observed the shoes move when I pushed the pedal. But still, I dont feel they are working to capacity, at least to the degree I want them to. More testing needed.
Thats all so far, headed out with Mrs V for a short Sunday ride. (Ride #2!)
