Kevin the alignment went without hitch as I posted else where the supplement doesn't mention disconnecting the panhard rod but a third grader would see it must be off to move laterally. That is when I found a worn Heim joint so I replaced both. Magnetic Laser Levels made this job simple. I'm waiting on a few other things I ordered before re-installing the body. It will be interesting to see how close the spacing is now on the fenders I have always had more space on the left side of trike (primary side) we shall see. I believe everyone with the tools and time should at least take the body off and look at what they are riding it's really neat to see, I believe I have a better understanding of what makes it so much fun. travel safe Fred

I just got my trike back today from the dealership. They did the 15000 mile check-up. They also did the clutch recall. Being from Iowa, I never got a chance to try it out. 5* out today. Been a record winter this year. Snow and cold. That rodent better be right about an early spring. Just saying.

It was good talking to you Jeff, thanks. Your Mighty Mites are on the way.

Had an Avon Cobra Trike tire installed and flushed/changed the brake fluid.
They didn't have the kits for the clutch recall so I will have to get that done later.
Was able to ride it for about 45 miles and the tire rides and handles great.

Big Improvements
Did a few projects today. First it was 15,000 mile oil change time so I installed my DK Custom oil filter relocation kit. Very easy install. Next was a Kuryakyn Velociraptor Air cleaner kit with servo motor cover and throttle body support bracket cover. it came with a K&N filter and rain sock. I picked it up for $110 on a Facebook page I belong to. I need to order an external breather system next.
I couldn't figure out how to remove the stock unit so since YouTube is my friend I did a search for a video and the one that came up just happened to be Granite City Riders video of a DK system install with external breather. The video was very well done and they gave the DK products great reviews. altogether a good day.

Another 100 mile lunch ride, great weather.

Purchased a buffer
Sometime ago I mentioned about getting the swirl marks out of the finish on old Shiney and I thought the project was done natta. I happened to position a work tower light by the trike and holy crap it looked like someone washed it with River sand. So off I went to purchase a buffer. After a little advise on how to use it. I tested the new toy on my old dodge truck which needs it as badly or worse than the trike technique mastered I have the trike under control looks much better in any light. Buffing seems to be a time consuming job but it is still mid 20's here today. I related then better but not as good as it is going to be well we are almost there. I still have a few chips on the body right below the tourpak latch years of use.
