I'll 2nd this. Larry

Nice bike Brad. I knew it was only a matter of time ( & $) before you got yourself another 2nd gen. Larry

Same here. Also house is insured with them too. Check them out you just might catch a break. Larry PS: OK I see this is a resurrected thread but still as DJ says it's that time of year. My ins this year went up about $35 for 2 bikes

My thoughts echo what many have already said. I'm just happy for the both of you in finding and resetting your course in life together. That takes priority over all else on what goes on here. I'm sure many of us can honestly say that we all have at one time or other have gotten sidetracked with our lives. Then getting back again. God Bless to both of you and that you continue to prosper together. Larry & Joyce

Welcome to the 3rd wheel world. Give it some time to get used to the handling quirks, to realize all of the advantages of having three wheels under you. Hope to see pics soon too. Larry

Good things happen for good people who give it their all. With some help from the folks here and above. Hopefully this will be the last time you'll see bottom in your lifetime. Larry

Wheels look great. Are they a 5 lug bolt? I thought Hannigan used 4 bolt hubs/axles? Larry

This is what I and a couple others use. https://www.denniskirk.com/emgo/chrome-universal-rectangular-mirror.p392718.prd/392718.sku They are much larger than stock and give a very clear view, solidly mounting to the bike with no need for adapters either. Larry

Another fan of the strip, solder, & shrink tube connections. Sometimes I'll use the bare butt connecters but those get soldered and shrink tubed as well. Same with any terminals actually. I absolutely hate those Scotch lock connectors. I've seen nothing but problem where people have used them. Yea they're fast to do a job but rest assured you'll be chasing down electrical problems in the future. Ask Ragtop about them if he don't chime in here. LOL Larry

Happy Birthday Michael. Enjoy your day:clap2:

Have a great day today on your Birthday Kevin. Larry

Like Puc says Chicago used to have tons of construction going on thou last year going to the international wasn't too bad. Personally I don't like going through any major city regardless where its at. Of course you'll always get caught up in traffic jams during peak travel hours and throw construction into the mix and you'll either sit or creep along. Grin and bear it as best you can or look for secondary roads to get around the big cities if you can. Larry

Dan most any of us who've been down that road with accidents know full well how you're feeling right now. When those days come around and your gut feeling says no ride today you listen and wait for another time. Better safe than sorry later. Besides the riding season has just started to get going for most of us. Haven't even had mine out of the garage yet in fact due to roads and still a bit chilly here in Michigan. Larry

Another happy Utopia owner. Diamond R offers another choice as well. I prefer the mounting system of the Utopia model because you can remove the pillion seat if needed without having to take off the backrest. I think it is a stronger bracket due to bolting directly to the bikes frame too. Larry

When I ordered my Tri-Wing kit for the "05" they offered a choice of either 4 or 5 bolt hubs. 5 bolt axles were slightly more $$$. Tri=Wing also gave a choice as to axle ratios for the Ford axles, either 3:42 or 3:73 ratios. Larry

Happy B-Day Dan. Man I bet you've celebrated your birthday all over the country at one time or other seeing how you get around so much. Regardless enjoy it wherever you are. See ya down the road sometime. Larry

Is that good or bad?

A lot of hot air!! Larry

That's great there'll be several of us trikers there attending. Myself, BongoBobNY, Ragtop69GS, and our host B2Dad & B2Mom, Bones I think, and maybe a couple others. Plus the normal run of RSV's, RSTD's and other branded bikes. Larry

That's a nice clean Midnight. I'll give it a Enjoy it. Larry

It sure looks like one of Hannigan's Triple Trees to me as well. Take a look at the distances between the rear of the front fender and the radiator. If it's more than about three inches it has an aftermarket triple tree on it. I don't know the exact distance of a stock tree (3"?) but Hannigan's tree will be about 5" from the chrome tip to the lower cowling. Hope this helps Larry

Have fun on your trip. Drop a line or give me a call when you get home. Larry

Hmmm!! Dual pedals for the rear brakes. Sounds interesting especially for riding in the twisties. What ya say John? Want to give it a go? The body is still off so it shouldn't take much to configure this. The install is coming along nicely and should get the hitch back today from the powder coaters. A little wiring to finish up and then the body can go back on. Larry

Awesome news Patricia. Congratulations to you and especially Mike for his hard work. That is a well deserved pay raise. Larry

Welcome to the VR site and the world of three wheelers. The guys have given you some great info so far. Nothing I can add to at the moment anyhow. If your bike doesn't have the raked trees then adding them will greatly reduce steering effort. Well worth the costs and trouble of installing them IMHO. Larry
