I think the idea of attending a bike show/rally is your best bet. I know there’s several vendors at the Lone Star Rally in Galveston, Texas every year (NOV). I’m old and slow and try stay out of everyone’s way as much as possible. If the good Lord’s willing I won’t need to crash test a helmet. I really like the modular (flip face) helmets with retractable sun visors. Had my nose broke twice so wearing any type of glasses inside a helmet doesn’t work for me.
When doing my research before buying a trike, people posted that it takes about 5 or 6 hundred miles to get used to the trike. I rode Hondas and Harleys for 57 years. It took me all of 35 miles to wish the hell I’d bought a trike twenty years ago.
Dropping my Trike off at the Dealership today (1/17/25) for the UBS Bolt recall surgery on Tuesday. I am providing my mechanic with the contact numbers for Will at CSC and My Trike installer if he has any questions. I am also giving him a cut and paste of the information provided by BrokenBackJack (Thanks again John) concerning the AUX tank feed hose and vent hose grommets, the part numbers and the cost, in the event the dealer mechanic needs to pull the Bike's gas tank. Fingers Crossed!!!!!
The more offset you have the less trail, so on a stock bike if you had too much offset you could get into a situation where you have negative trail. Not a good thing. With a leading link fork we can increase the offset then fine tune the trail with the length of the rockers. The offset on my forks is 2 1/2" and I don't think going a little longer would cause any problems as long as I kept the trail the same.
I'm no engineer ( I probably even spelled it wrong ) , this is just how I understand it. This stuff can make your head hurt trying to figure it out.
What with my upcoming shoulder surgery I would like to make my 2023 Freewheeler easier to steer. Looks like the Papa Zook triple trees would do the job nicely. I looked on the Cut-N-Shoot website and they're still $849 with free shipping.
If you're going to be in AZ at this gathering note that the Albuquerque Balloon Festival starts on 4 Oct 2025 if you are interested in attending that also.
I have a 2012 with the Champion kit and am thinking about adding the Accent Panels / Running boards on it and would like to know if anyone here could post the installation instructions and or photos. I have looked for instructions for a couple of weeks but have not had any luck. I believe they attach on the existing main stand mounting tabs, but I am not sure about the front and rear mounting if there is any. I want to see what kind of job I will be getting into. Thank you
