  1. Load it, balance it, weigh the tongue weight to around 3--35 lbs, I see no problems.
  2. We would all like to find one for $10K.
  3. I am min my 3rd year running the Commander rear tire on the front of my trike. No complaints. Enjoy!
  4. Sounds like a bad gremlin, I hate those. They can be hard to find the little suckers will run from one place to another making them hard to isolate. In reality if you start checking the ground side of the system I am sure you'll find the problem there. But the ground system is hard to trace.
  5. Very low pressure, I think it is around 7 psi max.
  6. I just received my Baggershield a couple of weeks ago and got it installed. So far I like it. I previously had a Tulsa Tall tinted windshield. I used it for a little over 100,000 miles. I loved it. It would shed water excellent at speeds over 30 mph. The reason I installed the Tulsa windshield was I had had them exclusively on previous Goldwings that I had owned. Again they shed water unbelievably compared to any other windshields that I had used but the biggest thing was I had fewer complaints from the backseat passenger about her shoulders hurting and her neck hurting from wind buffetting. Since I no longer have a back seat passenger I an trying the shorter shield.
  7. I would like to put an auxillary tank on my Motor Trike conversion. Does anyone know of a tank that will fit my Motor Trike. Any pics of tanks where they are installed, size, dimensions, or anyone that can weld up/fabricate a custom tank. All help, constructive ideas, etc. is genuinely appreciated. I already have secured a fuel pump to utilized. I love my 2nd gen. and I love my trike conversion. I like the fit and finish of the Hannigan conversion better than the Motor Trike. The sad reality was I got the last Yamaha conversion done by Motor Trike and Hannigan was not building conversions at the time.
  8. I sometimes wish that I had opted for the sidecar instead of the trike. I wanted to have the sidecar so I could take the wife and the dog along. Now I have no wife and still have the dog. I just can't seem to teach the dog ( a great pyrenese 40 inches to the shoulder taller than me when she is standing on her back legs and 130 pounds) to ride in the passenger seat.
  9. I think it was Kuryakyn that made the 6 into 6 pipes for the Valkyrie's those were great pipes. You know the Valk was originally marketed as the F6.
  10. The TCI units and coils seem to be failing with about the same frequency as the ignition switches, and rear shocks. The sad part is Yamaha can and should be able to turn out a better product than this. All Mamayama will do is deny that their are insufficient failures to declare a problem as they have done previously.
  11. What do you want for it mine quit?

    I had a bunkhouse from B&F specialties. By the time we got it loaded with all the gear, ice chest a/c etc....... it was almost 450 lbs. The bike pulled it fine. Braking required a judicious use of the brake on the bike. Fuel mileage suffered tremendously. It cost less to pull the bushtec and stay in a motel.
  13. Pinwall won't seperate the brackets from the boards and they have the boards and brackets priced @ $139 each. I feel that is a whole lot to much.
  14. I am searching for the brackets that attach the passenger floor boards to the bike. I have searched the wrecking yards, they have the brackets and will only sell the brackets with the floor boards. I don't need the the boards just the brackets. If anyone has them I could surely use them.
  15. I was wondering how the angularity of the drive shaft turns out. As the folks at Motor Trike and Tri-wing have rotated the 7.5 ford rear bell housing 180 degrees to obtain the proper angularity of the drive shaft to minimize vibration.
