Still coming along. Ground effect cornering lights are not working. They will call CSC on Monday.

OK, for those of you that read my earlier post, my trike was delivered ot me on May 5th. There was a problem in that the clutch was slipping - was not properly adjusted.
Well, working with my installer and CSC - they took the trike to my local dealership and told them to so whatever was needed.
The dealership was really backed up - and, my trike is finally done. Seems like it is pulling the way it is supposed to and for the first time, I put about 20 miles on it. Going to rain on Friday but, Sat-Sun-Mon and Tue are suppose to be really nice. I'll probably take a few short trips to make sure all is done properly.
In addition, I had the oil changed and an XM radio installed. All is sounding well.
Thanks -and I want to share - CSC and the installer really and truly stepped up. I send the a copy of the bill today and understand a check is already on the way.

Good news for sure, what did they end up replacing in the clutch?
Good news - actually great news.
For the clutch, they replaced everything - an entirely new clutch basket. The service manager explained that the clutch adjustments on the 21 Harley's changed from the way they were done in the past. There is now a spring loaded adjustment instead of the screw/nut adjustment.
Because this was not properly done, it completely burned the clutch up. All of this happened is about 15 miles. So caution, if you have a 21 or newer, please make sure you fully understand how this is done. Also, if going into the primary, please make sure you know what adjustments might be needed. Since I don't, this is all the more reason for me to keep away from this.
By the way, clutch cable was just fine
Also want to add - this thing rides really nice. So far, I have only taken it from the dealership to my home - but still have a nice ride feeling. Wife and I are taking that first little ride on Saturday - supposed to be a really nice day. .

Yes, the NEW spring adjust on the cable is a POS, however, there is still an adjustment ( same as always) for the clutch basket
Get familiar with how to do the adjustments, there are already reports of the cheap spring loaded cable piece breaking. H D is already supposed to have a new and improved cable, tho I have not seen it yet, have a look here at a better repair
