OK here are the salt plains nearby, about 30-45 minutes from Wakita OK. Not recommended to take the road here on a bike unless you are OK with going 5-10 MPH for some stretches. It is basically an oilfield road that is used for access to the area. From what I'm told, this is the remnant of the great ocean that used to be inland to the states in prehistoric times. It is quite exotic to think that ocean life existed nearby when this state have been landlocked for millennia.

No, you don’t HAVE to change it, I just like riding better than pushing.

Hey all! I wanted to give an update on this and toss in a few lessons learned from the experience in case someone else has this issue. I got the slave cylinder replaced, however couldn't get to the oil gasket, that thing is in there deep and I couldn't find a pick that would reach it, so i did as close of an inspection of it as i could with an endoscope and it looked good, so i left it there. Lessons learned: - buy allen sockets. just freaking do it. life will be a million times easier. - after you pop the clutch line off, pop it out of the holder under the bike and unscrew the other holder that's further up. this will allow you to move that line out of the way. - remove the bleeder screw before you try and wiggle that thing out of there. do the same to the new one before you try and wiggle it back up in. - after you've gravity flushed the line, you are going to pump the clutch lever what feels like a thousand times before it builds the pressure it needs to actuate the piston. it takes forever to build the pressure, this isn't like the brakes on your car that have a booster. - a 2x4 under the kickstand and the handlebars turned far right will get you about as close to level on that reservoir as possible without a stand. just be careful, it's awful close to tipping point, so don't go pushing on anything, in fact, i did all removal and install without that 2x4 'cause it made me nervous, but definitely used it when keeping it full during the bleed. - when you're pulling that oil drain plug, position your wrench so that you're pushing towards the kickstand when trying to break it loose. I was laying down on the floor pulling towards me, away from the kickstand, and when it tried to lift up off the stand from my efforts, i had one of those moments where i wondered if I was wearing my brown pants. Anyhow, HUGE THANKS to everyone here for helping me get this sorted out. took it for a 100 mile shakedown after changing the cylinder and the oil, no leaks, fluid levels look good through the sight glasses. hope to see ya'll on the road! -Russ

Joking Mike. Been running T4 for years.

I wonder where the body is?

Thanks for the pictures

If everything goes as planned, then trike will head to its new home in about 20 minutes. The buyer from Michigan is supposed to be here somewhere around 8:00. This is a beautiful machine and is one that I'll likely have regrets about selling. With my wife's health though, it just never gets ridden. I think I've roust a Toal of about 100 miles on it this year. She doesn't seem to be getting any better and I just can't get my mind around going off on a rider and leaving her sitting her alone. So, I guess it's time.

And now it’s gone.
