    Thanks for the reply and info. Glad you healed up OK. Was the accident any result of the modification, or a gremlin?? The reason I ask is after really looking at the pic on the bike, it looks like the leading edge and the trailing edge of the pad are only making contact with about 50% of the rotor and could use a rotor with a larger radius. I don't know but maybe the rotors from a 6 piston R1 may be bigger than the earlier 4 piston R1... We used to have some very knowledgeable R1 riders on this board. Maybe one might chime in and explain the difference.... if any?? Just found this pic. Looks like there is more contact...

    Heat it up and hit it with some WD or...??

    Don't forget the MKII rotors. The OEM '83's are fatter than the MKII's. While in there you might as well toss in a set of Progressive springs. I did the conversion on my '83 and never delinked. Afterwards I didn't feel it was necessary,, Edit #2 ... The MKII forks will have electric anti-dives. I just stuffed the wire leads up under the fairing. With the Progressives they weren't needed.

    Any plans on producing a 'kit' for sale?? I bet there are a bunch of Venture trike owners and two wheelers pulling larger camper trailers who would be interested..... And... did you use a CNC to cut the part out?? Another thought.... did you check to see if the lines off an R1 would work?? Maybe?

    Thanks for the pic... How thick is that, what I assume is, aluminum plate?? And do the stock brake lines still fit??

    You remove a 40' fruitless mulberry, and pore a 66'x14' driveway in the back yard. With a little help... :-) It's been running in the mid 70's out here on the left coast, and figured it was about time to make a plan come to life. Last summer we poured a 24'x36' slab, and now there's a driveway leading to it. Now it's supposed to rain for the next week or so, which saves me the job of keeping the new stuff hosed down and help with the curing.... Can't wait to put another trailer on it.... :-) Pics to follow... soon..

    SUSANVILLE CA. Great little town, and a lot of places to ride. Sits right on the east side of the Sierras...

    Haven't heard a thing lately George. This thread's been hi-jacked.... no relation... by a bunch of guys bragging about retirement and ice cream. Besides I think most of the folks in your neighborhood are heading north above the 48. If anything does happen it will probably be a spur of the moment decision. That said Susanville II might be a place?

    Pray those fingers will get back to wiggling like they should my friend.....

    You might give Krylon semi-flat black a try. Should match the finish of the engine very well....

    Looks very similar to other bags on the market. The only thing missing is the logo. TANK.BAG

    Another use of peanuts... George Washington Carver would be proud... If nothing else the scoot will smell good. But?? What will happen those folks that are allergic to peanuts when I drive by... ?? :-)

    I've been using http://www.EarthLink.net since the early '90's. They've always done a great job.

    A little more food for thought when it comes to braking on a trike or outrigger. The front brakes do almost 70-80% of the braking on any bike. So improving the rear braking power probably has minimal effect on the overall stopping power. Of course it helps with two wheels at traction over just one, but I wonder what the percentage increase would be in the big picture??

    Here's in California they treat the Voyager as a trailer. It's just attached differently. Geico does also. Just let them know you have it on the bike, and no increase in premium. So you still need the MC endorsement on your license with the Voyager. However a true trike is considered a car and the MC license isn't needed to ride one. Go figure... :-) Now what get's me to pondering is.... with the Voyager pulling a trailer would one need a trucker license because you're pulling a set of doubles??? On the rake I'm really confused. The RSV is low in the A$$ from the factory. When shorter dog bones are added it raises the stern and according to what I've read the steering get's easier?? So that's what I planned on doing to the Voyager to see if it would get a bit easier?? But... if it makes it squirrely maybe I'd be better off leaving well enough alone??

    My favorite thing is the panic button on my truck's keyless remote for remembering which one is mine...in a 2 car parking lot.... :-)
