Re: The President

I have absolutely not changed my mind. President Trump is the first political outsider of my time to become president. IMO he has done a fantastic job. Will be voting for him again in November. In the US, we have career politicians that spend their time, power and resources enriching themselves rath...

Re: The President

I totally agree with Ricky. Trump takes action rather than just talk about it. Also, he calls a spade a spade. Quite amusing at times :usa:

Re: WANTED : speedo for 2007 model

Take a measurement and look and see if Speedhut now has one that fits without the adapter. If not, I have an adapter ring I will send you. They have added several items over the years. Seems like I remember someone buying on that was a direct fit.

Re: Leaking Fork Tube Seals

With regards to the lower leg seal leaking, there is a fix that is quite simple. With the front wheel off, unscrew (not all the way) the offending lower fork, exposing about 12 or 14MM of thread. Clean with brake cleaner, apply "medium strength" threadlocker, then reassemble. This was a tr...

Re: Balancing beads

Some of the tire balancing bead bags are meant to go in the tire as a packet, then as the tire heats up they break apart. Had those on my truck. Shook like hell for the first 4 or 5 miles then smooth after that. If it is not a bad imbalance, give it a nice 30 or 40 mile ride at highway speed and see...

V8 Chopper Trike

Recently, I have purchased a V8 Chopper trike. Wondering if anyone on this forum has V8 Chop experience and can provide any do's, don'ts and other advice about this beast? It is the "Sport" model with the Dart 400 SBC.
