Glad to hear you're enjoying!

I'm sort of digging those lower fairing bags...might get myself a pair. Not sure what I would put in there, but I'm sure I would find them useful...maybe my night time riding glasses...easier than getting in the Tour-Pak for them.

Those fairing bags are the bomb for sure. Put them on my '17 CVO Limited in September 2016. Then I transferred them to my '18 TG and now my '20 TG. They are great for holding small items. Kevin I've not tried them for glasses but I don't think they are quite big enough. I'll have to check that out. In any case it's no problem finding things to fit in them. Wouldn't want to be without.
Yesterday and today I've been working on my new Aluma TK1 trailer. I picked the trailer up last Monday, February 17th, and the weather has been sucky since then. But yesterday I did get the chock installed - a Wheel Dock. Yeah I know it's probably overkill but I really, really like the Wheel Dock and wanted it in the trailer. Then I installed some X-Track rails along the side so I can tie it down to keep it from any possibility of moving side to side. I'll try and get some photos in the next few days.
New parts
Just add A few new parts like.
S&S TC3 Oil Pump & Cam plate Kit S&S 557 Cam Kit S&S Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner S&S CAM BEARING S&S Complete Push rod Kit Cometic AFM Series Cam Cover Gasket
and finally replaced the header pipe with Vance Hines power duals form Keven. Thanks man!
Now all I need is a nice day to brake it all in!!!
Yes they are.
Yes, they are very handy and you will probably use them more than you think. Had them for about 2 years and glad I purchased them. Very easy install.

I completed the installation of the Wheel Dock chock and the X-Track rails in my new Aluma TK1 trailer over the weekend. Yesterday it was raining all day so today I had an opportunity to take it out for a shake down cruise over city streets, two lane county roads and oh yes, interstates. I am really impressed with the quality of this trailer and how well it pulls. I hardly know it's back there. And my wife is the one who noticed that it was less than half the price of our most recent (in April 2007) Bushtec pull behind trailer. In any case our trailer pulling with the motorcycle / trike are over and we're entering a new era where we'll pull the trike to our destination . . . that is when we're going on a destination ride and plan to stay in the area.
Here are a few photos:
Yeah, I know . . . it's probably overkill with the chock and strapping. But I don't want nuthin' falling off there, lol.
VERY NICE
Well that is a fine looking trailer and trike. You are going to love the TK1. Looks just like mine except I don't have the X track yet, but I think I will add them. I did mount my spare up front on the tongue about 1/2 inch from the box.
I saw a lot of post a couple of years ago where some guys said the side mounted tire throws a lot of rain water coming off the tow vehicle up on the side of the trike. Congrats on the fine looking combo!
BTW, what size and type screws/nuts etc. did you use on the X Track install. That is a lot of hole drilling.

Screws are 1/4-20 x 1. I used a fender washer and lock washer also. Yeah it is a lot of holes - 48 per each track. Yikes.Well that is a fine looking trailer and trike. You are going to love the TK1.

CORRECTION: 24 screws per each 2 foot long rail. 48 screws in all.
Thanks for the info about the spare tire. I just mounted it where I saw some photos on the Aluma website. If it's a problem I can definitely move it.
Rake Kit plus
So I was thinking about Zook doing the rake kit on my Tri in April. I got the bug up my b$tt to see if he could swap out the bars for a set of the Khrome Worx 2+2 sweeps ... don’t care if the wires are internal or not, more into the function. Randy is looking into what it’s gonna take.
I figured while he had the faring off ... what the hay... might as well get it all done at once. I was worried about scheduling it, but, as usual, Randy was very accommodating.
He’s so good at customer service. Even when the customer is a pain like me
I am soooo jealous what a great looking rig. I just love the color!

Get the bars switched Alan you will not regret it, mine are great improvement. Not just lessens the sore back, neck and shoulders they add leverage. I ride with a straighter back and shoulders. more comfortable than I ever was with OEM bars.So I was thinking about Zook doing the rake kit on my Tri in April.

Yesterday the ride to and from work was in the balmy 50's.
This morning, it was 40 degrees...not bad, except it start sleeting about halfway here. brrr.
Just went out and covered my seat cause now it is up to a whopping 41 degrees, but it has started raining. Rain should stop before heading home later today.
