[Notgrownup]

New oil n filter,stock filter and NAPA 15w50 full syn . Trying the new primary fluid this time. At first test it shifts smooth and find neutral easy. Loading it on the trailer and going to Canada Thursday. Will ride around there for a week.

Added a 12v power port to the tour-pak

The attachment bolts had way too much blue lock-tite on them and the threaded inserts in the speaker pod spun in the plastic. Had to remove speaker and put vise grips on the insert to keep it from spinning. Also used a small wire brush to remove much of the lock-tite from the screw ends.

Replaced my fuel filter. It didn’t look as bad as I thought it would. About the easiest thing I’ve done too.

Are 2016 in the tank or elsewhere? If in tank, did you buy the special tool to get the ring off or did you use a punch and hammer?

In the tank, you can use a punch and hammer if you are real careful and protect the tank, or you can buy the tool designed for HD tanks( it helps you keep tension on the lock ring equally)

Nothing much My normal morning coffee run …And a lunch run….Also in a little while a pizza run….

It's in the tank and I just used a brass punch. The tool seems to be out of stock everywhere. I didn't even fully remove it. I just pulled it out enough to separate it and changed the filter and o-ring and reassembled. My beer was still cold when I started the trike after completion. I probably spent more time cleaning under the dash panel than doing the actual repair.

Edit: that filter has almost 50k on it.

Amazon lists the tool, but I think too many$$ for a few times use. I've been called a tight wad, so there is that.. Thanks for the info.

I'll agree with that. The only one I could come close to finding in stock was the Jim's and it's way too much money for something to be used a couple times. I've worked in industrial maintenance my whole life and have plenty of tools to get pretty much anything done. I have way too many punch sets. lol.

Took a neighborhood cruse to check out last nights storme damage . Then stopped at a neighbors to sponge a few beers and use his pool .

I did notice that when I left out for a club ride this morning, I almost can’t hear to fuel pump pressurize now when I turn the trike on. It’s a lot quieter than with the old filter.

Installed DK Custom's 13" NewGen shocks and then went on a very long ride! It was like having a new trike!

Had a new S&S cam and lifters installed yesterday, after developing a slapping sound in the bottom end.

Installed primary vent kit. Found out my bike was transferring oil from transmission to primary.
