As for the jets. It's hard to give you a answer to that one. I think it basically just takes a lot of experimenting and I've never wished to do that. Here is a write up that I did years ago from information provided by another member.

Removing the buffles is not just a simple remove the screws and pull them out process. There is actually not a real good way to do it. Here is a pictures of the inside of the mufflers. Most everything is welded. You would be much better off to just leave them alone and buy a set of Harley mufflers. A lot of people do that.

I sent you a message but haven't heard back. I'll. take it if still available.

Just ran across these pictures in the member's album.

I think you are probably right, Mine is original now, I have no problem with the Stratoliner wheel on a RSV but was concerned about putting one on the trike, I guess I'll stick with what I have.

I don't know the trailer you are talking about and have never changed a torsion bushing. I just did a search though and the bushing seem to be cheap and I looked at some YouTube videos and installation appears pretty simple. BUT.....like I said....I'm not familiar with that trailer.

Good info. I lost my 4th gear cruise on one of my RSVs, can't remember which one. Never tired disconnecting the speedo healer.

You shouldn't have done that. Glad it wasn't worse.

I don't know what options you are including but here's what mine would have cost. NOT counting the bike. $9195.00. Basic kit These are the options that mine has. $1045.00. Floorboards $1095.00. EZ Steer $1095.00. Reverse $1195.00. Aux Fuel Tank $ 495.00 Chrome Wheels $1795.00. Paint (one color) $ 425.00. Paint (floorboards) $ 325.00 Trailer Hitch $16665.00. Total PLUS Installation. I don't know but have been told about $2000. So that brings the price, if you already own the bike, to $18665.00 I didn't own a RSV so my decision was easy. The fact is though, there are a number of RSV trikes on the market for far less than what it could cost to convert yours. So unless you have a very low mile RSV that you just can't stand the thought of parting with, I would look around for a used one. I paid a few thousand less than that for the 2005 that I just bought and it even included a color matched Bushtec trailer. It had just over 28,000 miles on it and also came with a handful of other options including riders backrest, highway pegs, passing lights, tank bib, etc.. I see them on the market between $12,000 and $15,000 for the trike without a trailer. Deduct what you could sell your bike for and you would be out much less money just buying one that has already been triked.

Well, I could post a picture but you likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It only moves the trunk back about an inch. Not really noticeable.

Great score. I paid much more just for the risers.

I've always move the trunks back on my RSVs. It is easy on a standard bike but a little more difficult on the trike. As those of you who have done it already know, the rear holes don't have the nuts welded on the bottom like the forward holes do. No problem on the bike because you just reach under the rack and add nuts. On the trikes you can't get to the bottom of the rack to do that. So, I wanted to move the trunk back one the trike. I ended up pulling the trunk off, drilling out the rear holes, and adding well nuts. Actually didn't have to pull it all the way off. Just removed the 6 bolts and folded it forward. Didn't disconnect any wiring. Worked great. The trunk sits down into a recess in the trike body and it's a tight fit but it does just barely work. Here's a couple of pictures that might help. One is of the well nut that I used. The other shows the holes drilled out, just under 1/2" for the particular nuts. You can see that I had already installed the well nut on the right rear.

Agree. My 98 cu Harley was quite a lot cooler than the 107 that I had.
