I bought a set of Rhino ramps to help with my maintenance as my Pit Bull lift is limited now that Pearl is triked. I used 1 on the front wheel to drive up on and changed my oil & filter. Once up on the chock I kicked the chock to the side (lesson learned from forum member)!
Made for easy removal of the front of the belly pan and removing drain bolt and filter! I use Rotella T-5 15W40 and a Pure one PL16410 filter. Milage at 92,574. I put both chocks behind rear wheels and backed the trike up on them. I figure with me at 260 and the wife at 15^ish and all the backing 2 up and with a trailer we've done it ain't hurting the starter motor! Went up and on no problem with me off of the trike. I installed a chrome bumper and Roadsmith mud flaps and adjusted shocks 2 up from bottom. Experimenting with shock settings and tire pressures. 30psi in rear for 2 up seems to work best and 40psi in front Cobra. I have Traxxion cartridges and springs in the front and a Kuryaken fork brace.
So far I'm liking this kit but am thinking of either lowering my footpegs or removing them all together and putting my 13EE's on the running boards as my knees are to far up in the air for long rides! I also need to invest in some highway pegs.
Anyway I've picked up some valuable "how to" tip's on this forum that have made owning and maintaining my trike much easier and I want to say THANKS to all that contribute!
