    We have FIOS bundle in our house with three HDTV sets and two laptops. Cannot see how using a ROKU HDTV box for movies will set off any flags.

    Ordered a ROKU box because I'm tired of hooking my laptop to our TV for Netflix.

    Jeff, That's both good and bad.

    I stopped at 37 years and have had no regrets. Congrats!

    Sighted a blue 2nd Gen RSV at the Lakewood Center, Lakewood, CA today at 1:00 p.m

    Sounds like I should start by ordering the parts. Then, I'll take it from there. I would feel better going west with the stronger clutch.

    Hi Jeff, Not really worried about losing oil. Can coordinate work with oil change. Will visit clutch issue in spring. Too old to work in the cold. Know relacement clutch is stronger, but wonder if it is necessary for our western trip next summer. Hate to replace parts unnecessarily. Will have to experiment with pulling our trailer in the spring to see how trike performs. Thanks!

    Goldeagle does not publish this information. It is proprietary.

    It's inevitable!

    Actually, put both SeaFoam and STA-BIL for long term storage. Trike seems to like it.

    Q: What is the difference between Marine Formula STA-BIIL®, STA-BIL® Fuel Stabilizer, and the new STA-BIL® Ethanol Treatment products? A: Marine Formula STA-BIL® Ethanol Treatment was designed for use at every fill up for marine engines (boats, jetskis) to protect against the damaging effects experienced when using Ethanol blended fuels -- including corrosion caused by water attraction, and fuel system plugging caused by deposit loosening. STA-BIL® Fuel Stabilizer is designed for use during STORAGE of any gasoline equipment or vehicle stored for 30 days or more, or used infrequently. It will keep gas fresh for 12 months, and help prevent corrosion, and gum and varnish formation. New STA-BIL® Ethanol Treatment is designed for use at every fill up for all gasoline automotive and small engines for protection against these same problems. All STA-BIL® brand products are effective in all gasolines, including Ethanol blends, including E-85. Q: How does Marine Formula STA-BIL® Ethanol Treatment handle water? A: Ethanol blended fuels can naturally hold up to 4 tbsp of water per gallon (about 0.5%) before phase separation occurs. Marine Formula STA-BIL® Ethanol Treatment contains a chemical that will absorb an additional fraction of a percent of water above this amount (around 0.2%), by bonding with the water molecules, allowing this additional amount to pass safely through the engine and out through the tailpipe. Any amount above this will drop to the bottom and phase separate. Removing large amounts of water (more than 0.75%) through bonding will cause poor power/acceleration and sometimes cause the engine to quit. Additionally, it can cause catastrophic engine damage. No engine manufacturer recommends removal of these large amounts of water through bonding. Q: Does Marine Formula STA-BIL® have the same stabilization characteristics as STA-BIL® Fuel Stabilizer? A: STA-BIL® Fuel Stabilizer is the recommended additive for extended storage. Marine Formula STA-BIL® can stabilize fuel if used in the proper concentration for up to 12 months, but is designed for EVERY DAY USE to protect against the damaging effects experienced when using Ethanol blended fuels. http://www.goldeagle.com/brands/stabil/faq.aspx#286

    Our trike does not fit this window. I complained about squealing brakes, and got no resistance. Know of someone who got a conversion after us, and he was upgraded to the new brakes. Not sure if his dealer did the work for him. The upgrade is standard on all new RSV conversions. Love our new brakes! Never hear a sound now.

    Our '09 RSV was converted in the summer of '10. Service manager Jim Gooch did the brake upgrade for us. Told Jim I would be in the area, and asked if our trike could get the upgrade. He did the work himself, new rotors, pads and tire balancing. He did not charge us. Some folks with older trikes have had Jim send them the parts, and they did the work themselves. Talk with Jim and see what he can do for your dad.

    Thanks Bones!

    I stopped at the Hannigan factory in Kentucky, while on a trip. They upgraded our brakes free of charge.

    Great information... Thanks!
  17. leo3wheel
    Thanks!
  18. leo3wheel
    Thanks folks! Really appreciate your feedback.
  19. leo3wheel
    Doesn't sound bad. Guess I just have to get the nerve. I can start by gathering the parts. Thanks for the detailed instructions!

    John, I have an '09 RSV Hannigan trike with 15,000 miles, and I'm wondering how big a deal it is to install the Barnett Clutch Spring Conversion plate. Is this something that could be done at Freebird's Maintenance Day? Wondering because I have a long trip planned, 2 up and pulling a trailer through the Rockies. Thanks!

    Sorry for your misfortune. Glad Nina wasn't seriously injured.
  22. leo3wheel
    Good idea! Thanks!

    Put our initial trip plans in new thread: 2013 International then Western vacation.

    That was a very good year... It will be a red and black parade.

    Want to go to Utah, but Yellowstone keeps drawing me too. Lots of country to cover.
