    Experience with Slip Streamer Windscreen??

    Anyone have any experience with a 33 inch windshield?? Made by Slip Streamer??? Its made of Lucite I bought a National V Stream a few years back and have never really liked it. I scratched the heck out of the OEM one and a new one from Honda is ridiculously priced. I though about the Plus 4...

    Clutch adjustment??

    Is there any way to actually adjust the clutch tension?? Or friction point. I didnt see that anywhere in the manual. I dont mean the 5 positions on the grip. I have never really liked hydralic clutches much. I prefer cable driven myself like my Yamaha R*s. I still have that slight issue...

    Oil change and overfilled it a touch maybe???

    As I have to go through coniptions to jack up my Motor Trike with running boards to change the oil. I got a tad lazy and just jacked up the front enough to get at the oil filter and the drain plug. #1 changed it cold. #2 after I drained it, filled the filter with oil and put it back on. #3...

    Weird skip in rpm in 5th gear at about 2100 rpm.

    This is my second post on this particular oddity. In the 1st post I described it as feeling like the clutch is slipping. Going along at a steady pace keeping up with traffic. Instead of say downshifting. I give the throttle a slight twist and get a rise of say 200 rpm feels like a slip and...

    RPM skip in 5th gear only

    I mentioned this a few weeks back and its still doing this. Running down the road at say 55 mph and in 5th gear. Engines doing 21 to 2200 rpm. Give it some gas rather then downshift and the engine skips a beat for a 100 to 200 rpm. Fells like its the clutch slipping. It only does this once in...

    Odd engine maybe clutch behavior

    Recently but of course not all the time and I cant make the bike do this on demand. In 5th gear and at approximately 2000 rpm. Cruising along minding my own business. I give the bike some gas gently rolling the throttle. It skips a beat. For about 200 rpm then is fine. It feels like a clutch...

    XM Radio Suggestions

    You don't say what year your bike is. But in my 2010 GW in the left side pocket. Take out the tray and the Auxiliary radio hook up for the radio is in the harness under the pocket cover. I also connected the holder to the pockets cover. Not the best but only place I could find that doesn't...

    I might need some new rear tires

    Ive just had my 1st flat on the trike. I ran over a roofing nail someplace but got myself home on 8 pounds of air. The trike came with BF Goodrich TAs. They are fairly close on the right side to the wear bars. I managed to plug it myself using a rope type of repair. Its seems to be holding...

    Ghost shifting ...........again

    Last September I had a small post about what I called at the time ghost shifting. In my case occasionally it would shift itself from 4th to 3rd under acceleration. No biggy just a little surprise and all was well. Today not so much. This morning while on my ride to work. Stopped at a light. Then...

    Avon Trike Tire I hope its all its cracked up to be.

    Title says it all. Took the plunge yesterday and ordered the trike specific tire. I hope its ride comfort is all that's been said here. Havent heard much about the long term yet really here. Other then the one long running thread. My MPA is so cupped I cant take the bouncing around anymore. Shot...

    She's here!!!!

    Exactly what I originally wanted to end up with as my trike. I had bought a non running 99 Valk. Spent 7 months a lot of money and then had to sell it as I couldnt find anyone to make a reverse for me. Yours is just so pretty to me Im jealous. Enjoy the ride and have a great Holiday Season...

    Stupid question of the day.

    Does the Gold Wing have an oil change reminder light or warning?? Just asking as I have no owners manual. Ive found MT disconnects a few things during their conversions. I do not change my oil at regular intervals. More like when I feel its been long enough. Or as Im now well over the 5k mark...

    Im Impressed.......new battery. 500CCA of joy.

    Guys Im usually not wowed by much with anything about a Gold Wing in general. The bike part is so dependable, we all know its boring. I have to say my new battery impressed me. So yes this is an inadvertent on purpose add for anyone needing a new battery. I have and did consider a few Lithium...

    Ride-On from the horses mouth at last

    As a few here know I swear by Ride-On. Its saved my bacon on several occasions over the years. A while back I sent CS an email. Finally got my answer. My basic question was time over mileage. What to do. Im darn close to the 6 for my bike. 4 years for the trike. Here is the reply for you all to...

    MotorTrike-Unsafe at any speed?

    In my case I did notice something not right with the driveshaft. When giving it gas from a dead stop not a sound. But 2x accelerating on the ramp in 3rd shifting to 4th at about 55mph. I felt a bang. Like metal hitting the frame. The 1st time I thought maybe I ran something over?? 2nd time I...

    Ride On how long does it last??

    Ive emailed Ride-On about this a few times with no response. For alot of us. Age of use comes before miles or a new tire. Ive been wondering if Ride-On needs to be for lack of a better word "recharged"?? In both my trike and bike. Im in the 4 to 5 year range since adding it to my then new tires...

    Some advice on the Air Filter Servicing including the Dragoon tube too please.

    Some advice on the Air Filter Servicing including the Dragoon tube too please. Ive had my 2010 for going on 4 years. 14K miles 24K total on the bike. I know that I have to eventually take a look at the filter. OP was a Texan who put on 10K in a little less then 18 months. Do I really have to...

    Open exhaust on GL1800 SOUND

    When I got my 99 Valk. Which I bought to do a stock rebuild and use as my trike. It came with a set of 3 into 3 pipes for each side. While sound was nice its drone could drive you crazy. I ended up adding some baffles to each pipe. Sound at highway running still droned like mad. I was told these...
