Thanks guys. It's getting there slow but sure.

And you will know your ride better than most people do ...

 

[Dirtydan]

Yep, pretty much every nut bolt and fitting. What works and what doesn't.

 

[Gorilla]

can hardly wait for the final product.

 

[Dirtydan]

Trust me I can hardly wait either. I was so happy when it fired right up as I had never heard it run. Just in an ebay video.

 

[Dirtydan]

Well I took it out for a test ride yesterday. Just a short ride around the neighborhood. Handled crip n clean. After all my brake bleeding fiascos it's still mushy in the rear. Front is perfect. Hell even the hard to bleed hydraulic clutch is work g well. Now I just need to finish up some wiring, install my amp n speakers, air ride, reverse and hang the body. Oh and bleed those damn brakes again. Argh!

Well she is a little naked here.

love the look of your trike. i talked to champion yest and found out they use the vic reverse. do you have it on yours? we want a top box and i only have a cross roads
so i think im back to csc. their truck will be in central ill
in may so we will get to ride one. cant wait to see yours done. the back end on a cham-lehman is the best looking one out there.

Actually I just installed reverse Sunday. I still need to run the wire loom for it. Not really that difficult of an install. Psulie at Honda East has 20% off all victory parts. I know he has a couple sets of lower fairings hanging around he wants to move. Might have a trunk too. I agree as to the looks. Champion has the best looking body for the Victories. That was my final reason for ordering one. Mechanically they are excellent trike conversions.

 

[irv]

i know you are on the victory forum, like me. honda
east gives an extra 5% for forum members. have
to give paulie a call. just got some stuff from them.
a vic dealer about 60 miles from me does lehman, csc ,
and motortrike.

 

[Dirtydan]

Irv,

Have you considered a nice used Cross country for your conversion? You would gain a fairing, lowers and a trunk. just saying.

 

[irv]

would have to sell mine and i know how it has been treated.
dont really need the fairing. my shield and lowers are a lot larger than most. had 7 jurok make it off my pattern.

 

[Dirtydan]

Nice. As long as you're happy with it that is what counts.

I have a Kewl metal rake kit that would work for you Irv.

 

[Dirtydan]

Finished my reverse today. Pretty slow but it's sweet none the less. Time to get my amp n speakers in and start installing body parts.
