LA Choppers sells a couple of different 3-3.5" Pegs (The picture below is their Extended Delrin Shifter Peg P/NLA-7200-00B) as well as a shifter peg extension (LA Choppers P/N LA -7201-00). Pingle also has a shifter extension that puts the shifter length at 3" (Picture below) Pingle P/N 62167. I had the Pingle one but kept hanging my toe up on it. I am not a heel toe guy, so I am sure it would be different for somebody who is.Originally Posted by MDO
It looks like weather in my area will be an issue for a few days with rain/ storms as some of my favorite riding routes flood. Everyone be safe.

Stereo Upgrade
I had a handlebar mounted stereo system on my FW for a few month - Just didn't perform very well - So , I bought a 180 watt unit ( 4x45w ) that came with ( 2 ) speakers - I used the other ( 2 ) outputs to run 3.5mm headphone jacks for our helmet speakers - Unit really performs well - It was easy to mount on the on top of the fork cover down under my windshield bag - Speakers look good an sound good - FM Radio picks up stations nice - Even came with a lighted remote ...
When it warms a little more, I am going to drain my clutch & differential (currently using Lucas 20W/50 high performance full synthetic motorcycle oil) and give HD Formula + a try. I have 2 quarts of it I can't return & want to see how it works over the summer. I will say I am very happy with the Lucas. I am also going to try Castrol Actevo 20W/50 in the engine over the summer.
In the fall, after my 2,200 mile round trip to the 4-Corners Motorcycle Rally (Labor Day Weekend) in Durango, CO, I will drain all 3 holes & give Redline a try.

Jack, just so you know, this is not an oil thread...This is more of a "What did you do to your oil today thread'"

Drain fluids
Differential.factory sealed. Do you mean primary clutch housing?
It is Spring, time to bring the sleeping Trikes out of hibernation
Many will need fluid changes
A great time for an oil thread

Tomorrow is the day for my oil test. After a fun warm up ride, I will drain all 3 holes & put HD Formula + in the primary & tranny & I have Castrol Actevo 20W50 oil for the engine. After about 4 to 5,000 miles, I will be back to Lucas & Red Line after this experiment.
I am really looking forward to trying the Redline Shockproof in the tranny. It has a great reputation.

I'm too cheap...I don't want to waste the Formula +Put the Redline in NOW
You know what though, you got me thinking, maybe I'll just use it in the clutch cause I change it more often. Redline Shockproof is going in the tranny tomorrow.

Sissy bar
After bending the stock bar an installing a wrap around arm rest setup ... I have made arrangements have the bar extended about 18" up for cosmetic appearance ... This will also give " Sweety" and hand hold for climbing on an off - I will post photos once done.

I got all done with the lube changes. On my warm-up ride I went to my dealer (Doc's HD) to get a derby cover gasket.You will never look back
I figured I had never changed it and would be nice to my baby. They only sell it in a kit with the 3 drain plug "O" rings, which I don't need, as I bought a 10 pack from the hardware store. Doc's gives me a 10% discount on everything, so it was only $5.30
Back home, after pulling the plugs, I pulled the cover and the gasket looked great, then I remembered that it got replaced at the end of the year during the clutch recall. Oh well, now I have a spare & I got a cup of coffee out of the deal.
The drain plugs for the engine & tranny looked great, along with the Lucas oil, the primary plug & fluid looked nasty.
I guess it's the material from the clutch plates.
They had all the new colors on the showroom floor & I like that denim red.
They also had a used 2017 (black) with 725 miles marked down to $21,000
Overall, a fun day, but storms are coming tomorrow, so I will have to wait till Saturday for a test ride.
one other thing, I could never see the Lucas on the tranny dipstick, it was hard to read...That is not a problem with the Redline.

I didn't retire from the Navy (Submariner), just a bit shy of 11 years of service, with over 18 months under water.
We were professional ball busters.
