What did you do to your Trike this week?

Things I’m doing this week

This week I put my new to me Venture trike up on stands and am going through it back to front. Repaired the e brake, new front and rear pads, flush brakes and clutch, coolant, new plugs, repacking front bearings, deep cleaning everything followed by a clay bar and a good wax. Also replacing a wrapped fairing with a NOS fairing. Sync the carbs too. Not bad for an old man.

Finished my maintenance project and added a Wagner grill

Wrapped up my maintenance and cleaning project and rebuilt a Wagner grill. Found it on eBay at Pinwall cycle. It was damaged but some JB Weld did the trick.

2005 RSV Hannigan trike. After pricing real striping I bought some pinstripe tape and some pre cut kits from Twisted Chrome and gave it a shot. Some were pre cut and some were freestyle. Came out pretty good. At some point I may go with a professional striper when discretionary funds become available.

Coming back from camp today I stopped for gas ⛽️…And as I always

pay cash and so I was trying to get an even total I wasn’t paying attention and the gas was over those plastic spines you couldn’t get another drop in… And when I zeroed out the mileage numbers I noticed that it said to reserve 288 miles?…And then I drove 45 miles to home….And then the miles to empty read 243 to empty. And the fuel gauge just started to come off of full mark..? I don’t think there was that much extra air space in the tank?
 
Peter A says: Care to share any of those NICE numbers with us? Plus you may have to refresh our feeble minds with any engine mods…….thanks Chief!

Cam: S&S 475 C, HP: 118.7 @ 5490 RPM , Torque 136.19 @ 3650 RPM 5.5 Injectors, S&S Intake manifold, No CAT, V&H Trike Mufflers, DK Air Cleaner

 
I rode mine Saturday first time Cence beginning of October, it was 38 in the AM warmed up to 56 in a few spots it was a great ride, left mass went to Vermont then New Hampshire SOUNDS LIKE A BIG RIDE BUT WERE IN THE CORNER OF THE 3 STATES 150 miles. But it was so dirty lots of Salt in spots when I got home my black trike was white. So I had to wash it Weird it looks new. I had changed my Intake Manifold its called A Venom Plenum it's a 90-degree manifold that moves the throttle body out about 8" away from original manifold, Great improvement lots more low end torque .
