My new to me trike

After an 8 year hiatus from my old 99 and this site I picked this beauty up in SC a few weeks ago. After a few shake down rides I determined it needed some maintenance and some TLC. Put it up in the air and went front to back. Fixed the e brake, new rear pads, new battery, rear bumper hitch step, oil and filter, plugs, new air filters, new LED H4 bulb, grease the front bearings, remove plenty of road grunge, Seafoam, Seafoam, Seafoam….flushed all hydraulics and radiator. New NOS fairing (wrapped fairing will be going up for sale soon). Should  be on the ground tomorrow and ready for a good clay bar and wax. Trike came with all of the goodies….reverse, aux tank, ez steer, Barnett clutch, high output stator, clearview windshield with vent, utopia backrest, passenger arm rests that swing up. Had my last Venture for 12 years. A few Harleys and a Triumph in between but I’m happy to be back on a venture again. Sold the piggy backer trailer.

Very nice.  Eileen has been on me for years to get a trike but I'm just not convinced.   Love the RSV/Hannigan but just not ready to give up two wheels, even though I'm not riding much.

Don, I felt the same way. But now I don’t know why I waited so long. My last bike was a Heritage and it helped me stay on two for a little longer but even that became hard to hold up so when this came along at a good price I made my move.

If you try it make sure it is independent suspension I learnt my lesson on the solid axle.

I miss two wheeling myself, but with my knees, vertigo and Shirley's health a trike keeps our knees in the breeze.

It's a lot different but but still a blast to ride. You just might find yourself riding more.

And I agree with Woody, I can't believe I just said that, IRS is the way to go.

Thanks. I have this unnatural desire for clean things. 🤣
