Yes, the entire weekend was filled with great riding.
Weather was perfect too, ranging between 65 and 75 F, which Mary much prefers than some other weather we've ridden in.

Yesterday we got up and going around 8 AM a breakfast ride, we totaled 121 miles, no wind and around 80 degrees, it doesn't get much better than that.

Question
Hay Jack, what’s involved in checking the rear brake master fluid on a 12 tri ?

Brake Fluid Checking
Not a whole lot, clean the cover before removing, once the cover is off look at the level and color of the fluid, if it is low you can top it off or I prefer to suck out as much as I can, wipe the inside and bottom ( where the compensating port is) real good with a lint free cotton towel or a clean Q tip.
Then you can refill the master, use a couple of slow half pumps of the brake pedal, if it is firm and does not fade, you are good to go, if it is spongy, bleed the rear calipers.
One of these is a very handy tool to have for checking your brake fluid.

Thanks Jack , I can doooo that . Thought it would be a bear getting at the cap to remove .Not a whole lot, clean the cover before removing, once the cover is off look at the level and color of the fluid, if it is low you can top it off or I prefer to suck out as much as I can, wipe the inside and bottom ( where the compensating port is) real good with a lint free cotton towel or a clean Q tip.

Turn the light on
What a stunade I am . The rear master is in front of the pedal . And here I’m looking under the exhaust by the brake light switch. If it wasn’t for my age , I’d of seen that emeditly . And I’m told it only gets better !

Master cylinder and brake light switch
A very bad design, who puts a brake light switch and a master cylinder behind an exhaust pipe right?
Harley did and bad JUJU happens every time
If I had a nickel for every master and switch I have replaced I could own the MOCO

broken bolt.
Went on a 285-mile trike ride a few days ago. Beautiful weather. 85 degrees. Got home. Backed up in my garage. Dismounted the trike, I used my driver's footboard, like I always do. The rear bolt of the mount broke off. Had to take into the dealership to get the remaining part of the bolt. I would think it would be under the warranty. But, no it wasn't. Granted that they had the trike for a day and a half, the price wasn't too bad/ $75.00 Never had I ever had this problem before. Now the weather went to crap. Have to wait a few days to ride again.

I take it that the free battery location is the same as on tie tri. I made 2 loop pulls using crimp terminals. Then secured one to + and the other to - . Pull out old bat , install new . No finger pinching required .i zapped my battery when I was removing it on my Freewheeler, luckily no damage to any components
