A couple things to mind. Something like, I bet she wishes she had one of them nice 2nd gen pillow top seats. If it had a seat for two.......... Also if the stock swing arm was on it she would have just fell straight off the back and hit the road. Why do they put those extended swing arms on anyways?

So I wonder if you made it a tick longer if it would change the release point.

Getting it moving is not so much the problem..................

Yea ball end goes on reservoir side. Sorry if got that turned around. Dust seal, way I put it back together was pull rubber seal out. Put around rod, push rod into position then used a small flat tip (electronics type we called them 7 level) screw driver to push seal back in.

See if these pics will help you out. The reading are in MM To make it easy the thickness of the collar in middle is 2.10 With a little math you would have got there. LOL Hope this gets you going. You still got the brass piece that goes in the lever end the rod pushes on? 12:47- Jusst put mine back together. I didnt measure both sides of the rod for pics. But discovered the flat end that goes in the clutch handle is slightly smaller. It measures 4.87 diameter.

At the risk of having to rebuild mine, whats involved in getting to it and putting it back. It looks like maybe just remove the lever and it will pull right out. Is this right? If that's all I might attempt it today for you. Mine squeaks from time to time and I put a little white grease on it where the handle makes contact. and on pivot bolt

Any way you can simply use a caliper and measure the depth. If it is a bit long can file a few thousanths of the end a little at a time.

OH so normal.eh

The 130 front tire helps the slow speed manuvering. I also slipped the forks up in the tripple tree. Its free and lowers the seat height and helps get your feet flat.

Long sleeve t-shirt and you can wet it and it helps considerably. I like my weather wicker type shirts too. I have a long sleeve one of those also.

LED unless you are just plugging a bulb in requires a bit more work. HID is not a bad option. You can find a plug and play kit on ebay for around 30-35

Last time I was up there say 2yr ago, all the roads re beatm Frost heaves, pot holes from huge 10 axle trucks, just plain ruff in a car. So if your on the bike be watchful. As far as safety, in that area when you will be ther I think your OK. I have not had any problems. Ford museum and Greenfield Village are both pretty cool. Next to it use to be the Ford test track, but I dont even know if they use it any more. If your into Mexican food there is a yummy place near Greek Town I think. We have called it Zoshies. I think the actual name is xochimencos or something like that.

Hmm I thought the pain on the second one (the Vic) flowed and it looked OK. I dont care for the Indians much. And I didnt like wheel pants back when they were the rage either. Never could get them things off to change a tire when you needed to. But thats why there are sooo many manufactures of stuff for bikes. All sorts of tastes. Still think this is one of the best looking GW trikes I have seen.

Wholy $hit Bat Man. Bet he wishes he had a stebel horn on that bad boy. Next shot would have been me on the hood of that car.

If you have not got the problem sorted out or can give me an idea of what you have found maybe I can help you out.

Load range =80 means 992 lbs per axle (tire) vs say a load of 74 which is max 827. So as you can see you have a bit more fudge factor on load carrying (165lb) Not to say you should add that much extra weight as the shocks and other things play into max load. But it sure is nice to have the comfort of knowing you have room to have extra weight without the worry of overloading and overheating a tire and having it come apart.

There is also the dilemma of too small for to short of time. what I mean is if you get them a 250 in 3 months they want something they can actually ride. Now I wouldn't start them off on a KZ 1000 or anything. the 8-900cc bikes are now "mid sized" Granted they are a heck of a lot bigger than what we learned on, but the handling is sooo much better on them now. I certainly wouldn't start probably any lower than 600-650 range. But thats me. Its a catch 22 for sure, danged if you do and danged if you dont.

Know bike and maintenance vs unknown might be helpful also. If the rear shock has been changed thats almost $500 right there without labor. Add to that any records and its a plus.

Newest info on the rear 777 shows as a 80 load range @ 992lb @ 42psi.

Only reason I was pretty sure was when I was racing Legends cars we ran a spec BFG. Then a few years ago they changed companies to this Federal and all the guys were screaming about where it was made.

I have been researching tire some today. Looks like my rear Shinko 230 will make about 6500 miles before needing replacement. Im @ about 5300 now and shes gettin thin. Looks like the 777 I have been looking at are "reinforced" now. They have an 80 rating vs 74. Cheapest I have found so far is $102 from J&P. Mmichlen C2 run about 150 or so I think.

What the heck is this wont work on a bike over 10 yr old? Tell the dummy the RSV was the same from 99 until 2013 and last I did math 2013 was only 2 yr ago. I man know of a fellow in the Denton I think he is that might help you learn some things on your bike.

If Im not mistaken that Federal tire is Chinese .

I had a Kawasaki 900 vulcan. About same size bike. Dont know anyone thats had problemswith the C50. I think any bike in that engine size range on open road is going to be buzzy. My 900 I put an overdrive pully on it and it helped.

I would agree. Just because its holding air dont mean its working. The air acts as an aditional spring. The fluid is what slows the bounce action so to speak.
