    Do you have progressive fork springs in or the Condor Brace on yet? My 85 was a bit wobbly until a got the old springs replaced in the forks with progressives. (probably under 80 bucks) Brian

    while you have the collector off I would still cut it open and remove the baffles as they will eventiually come loose. i think Freebird has the whole procedure documented on the site somewhere. Brian

    The ZZZZ's are an important part of any after trip wind down. Its kind of like a conditioned athlete that warms up before an activity and winds down after. You just cant get back from a trip and jump into regular activities, it just aint good for a person....lol! Glad to hear youre back home safe and sound......(that sound you hear may be your own snoring......lol) Thanks for everything Jack,.... you and Vic and everyone pulled off a fantastic rally!!!! Brian

    A friend of mine here in Regina tried to import a complete trike with no success as the trikes were outlawed years ago when the old Honda 3 wheel trikes were deemed so dangerous when a lot of people got hurt. The blanket ban includes any kind of trike unless it is built in Canada. Don eventually ended up ordering a kit (Hannigan I think) and hiring a company here to do the install here. Then you will have to do a basic safety inpsection(no biggie) after its done before you plate it. If you need more info I can hunt down Don after he is back from vacation in a couple of weeks and get his number if you want to call. Brian

    Crap!! Sorry to hear of your bad luck..... A second vote on the not using epoxy or fiberglass, a previous owner used it on my trunk and just made a mess that didnt stick to the ABS very well. Some have had good luck heating up bits of heavy metal screen and pressing it into the plastic on the backside of the cracks to reinforce, and then do your finer finishing after. PS i like PLastex, as it comes with a powdered plastic filler in a few different colours, as well as the solvent so you can actually build up new pieces with their product. I saw Rocket build some parts for my bikes radio panel within a couple of minutes and it was strong as new and invisible when done.

    My 85 has something similar to what you describe and I think its pretty typical of these engines and is probably nothing to worry about. That being said, if you have concerns, i would maybe have a quick look at the back of the gearcase the next time you have the wheel off. Just for giggles, check your output shaft coming out and check for end play and free play at the back of the engine. Maybe unloading it when you pull in the clutch youre taking stress off the gearset or the ujoint and perhaps thats where your noise is. brian

    the temps dropped a ton overnight, so it was only mid 70's here today and it looks like 80's for the ride on Sat and sun, woohoo!!! looking good!!!! Brian

    That sucks so badly that the cow got in his way:bang head:. But am glad he is doing ok. I hope he keeps riding, but it is a decision that may take him some time to finalize. Its great that you support him in whatever he does... Brian

    nope there is nothing on my 85 either, and its one of those things ive wanted to do ,but..... I was thinking of just attaching a small length of chrome chain just long enough to stay open, but not fall over the top. Brian

    but ya all gotta remember that he probably figured with Imperial gallons here in Canada, the US gallon is substantially smaller. (1 imperial gallon = 1.200 949 925 5 gallon [uS, liquid]) We in Canada are all messed up here if youre older than 40 or so we still remember using Imperial Gallons, but back in the mid 70's Canada converted to the metric system like most of the rest of the world, so we are always converting temps and measurements back and forth. And then we also have to try to figure out what our neighbours to the south are doing with their smaller gallon, still using miles, and farenheit......... Brian

    I have one of those Shindengen r/r that were part of the group buy about a year ago. Its for my 85, if it will work on your G2 I can throw it in and bring it down to Cody so you have some kinda backup plan. Brian
