Re: Trike info TH350
Sorry Guys, I am wrong about the TH 350 NOT having a lock up T/C. My best bud Frank says that they had Lock Up T/C since 1968. My bad for thinking. Paul H TH350 transmissions were introduced in 1969 and didn't have a lock-up converter until 1979-84, when GM introduced a TH350-C with a lock-up. 4L60...

Re: Questions: Independent Rear Suspension Trike
Hannigan converted our 2011 Street Glide,two years ago,and its ride quality is better than any other trike I've ever ridden. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s6/sherryle/Clint/11056631_1012100138813738_8070806096776558477_o%20trimmed%20600x362_zpsptzcagmu.jpg Our 2006 BH trike w/Arnott air ride wo...

CA Boss Hoss Trike Cover
These are very nice covers,made from a satin material,designed to fit a Boss Hoss Sierra or 57 Chevy trike with or without fairing. Sherry and I only used it a few times and it's been stored away in its own custom carry bag. IIRC,we paid over $200 for it,w/shipping. Click on the included link and sc...

Re: Bike / trike changes we want the Factory to address
I really like them,both. Paint jobs are a subjective thing so whether people really like that element is not hugely important. Lots of little details on both I really liked;the tasteful black-out treatment on the bike and the KM trees & rear wheels on the trike. Not a fan of the plain chrome LS ...

Re: Bike / trike changes we want the Factory to address
My 2012 Gangsta with Kewlmetal rides great riding down the road but I do get a lot of wobble at slow speed with bumps or pot holes Our 2006 57 with them never had any headshake. I didn't install them for ride quality which was a good thing as they didn't improve it,at all. Greatest benefit was the ...

Re: Bike / trike changes we want the Factory to address
Trike triple trees with similar rake & trail numbers as the KewlMetal units. Power steering without any headshake. Nicer running boards. The standard units look like an afterthought. Offer a few board options. More wheel options for trikes. Offer a wheel/tire delete option so customers can insta...

Re: Buck Passed Away This Morning
Dean just called and told me about this,Billy. Sherry and I are both in shock. Damn,this is just so hard to comprehend,right now. Our prayers go out to Susan and the family.
Buck and I just talked about Daytona a couple of weeks ago. Godspeed,my friend. See you on the other side.

Re: Canuck down and out for a while
Sherry and I have had some pretty serious health issues over the last couple of years so I certainly understand,Barry.
We're both doing a lot better now. I retired from PPG yesterday so now she and I can have more time,together.

Re: BH trike rear brakes
Our 57 had drum brakes. They worked ok but were not very linear,hard to tell where the lock-up point was,sometimes. I rode a 2012 trike and its rear brakes were very strong & linear. Don,if that's true about the Crown Vic rotors,it's possible I might have the origin of the brake components,backw...

Re: BH trike rear brakes
Ron,check out the rear disc brakes on the later BH trikes. They have larger diameter,vented rotors and huge calipers. I think the rotors are off a Ford Crown Victoria and calipers from a 2005-later Mustang GT.

Sorry to hear about your illness,Mike. Good luck with the treatment. You will be fine. I fought an advanced case of prostate cancer from 2002-2005 and am still here to talk about it so I know you can beat yours,too.
Treatment ain't no fun,though.
