</div>I keep a record of everything I do to the trike. I used Sylvania standand bulbs, about $8.00 each. The brighter bulbs they sell seem to burn out faster.

Hope you like it.
It's all about the journey.
Awesome pinstriping! It's nice to see that kind of talent is still around. Very classy and stylish. I'm considering some striping for my trike soon, wish I lived closer. Enjoy the new machine!!!
Tried to were out the roads in north west Arkansas (those around eureka springs anyway).
Thank you very much for the video, it was great.
Never wear out the road, just put more miles on the tires. Eurika Springs roads are great to travel, I've heard.

After having 2 close to wreck expieriences last year.
Fitted leading link forks,175 x 15" car tyre.
Wasp motorcycles here in the UK built this set up and what a difference lots of traction,one hand lightened steering,R1 brake calipers for excellent braking.
Towing trailer is now not a scary expience.

WOW, what size tyre is that on the front? Does it steer harder than the previous set up?
How much rake did you have put on, 4, 6, or other degree?
Thanks for sharing the photos.

No luck skuuter!
Had a new alternator put in, shop (not my regular) told me the tabs on the fairing were broken and it was going to cost me $500 for the lower fairing. Tabs were not broken when I went in because they were holding my air wings. No since in arguing with them, since I didn't see the work being done. OK, brought the trike home.
All the wiring which connects various items, like my XM radio, my night lights, in both left and right pockets were disconnected and because they didn't rout the the same way, I had a hard time turning the handlebars in tight turns...AAARRGGHH...
So, I had to do the wiring all over from the pocket to the items, like I had them before. Took me a couple of hours to do, should have charge them for my time.
They also lost a piece of the right pocket lock mechanism inside the fairing so they had to order another one, couldn't say it was gone, because it was working.
Now comes the difficult item, how to fix those tabs so I don't have to spend $500 on a lower fairing, for two little plastic tabs. I took two dry wall push rods which open as soon as they go through to hold various item. I reverse the screws so the long stud was sticking out with the tabs being held open. Since the fairing holes were not big enough to stick the folded tabs through, I ran a wire through the holes and electrical taped the end to the stud to the wire, so I could bring it through the holes. Needed Janice to hold the studs while I ran a nut on the screw so they wouldn't fall through the hole back into the fairing.
Put the lower fairing back together again. Made sure the open dry wall tabs were below the broken tabs so when you screw the air wings on they were holding on the the back of the broken tab. Made sure the screw were longer than needed so I had room to work. Screwed the air wings on tight using blue lock tight to make sure the nut would not back out. It held on great. Took a small file and cut the screws off so the chrome cap would lock on.
Did a short ride one day, then a 200+ miles the next day and they are still tight. SAVED $500 and it cost me my labor (2 hours) and $7 in parts.
A little home engineering and sometimes it pays off!
