Avon Trike Tire?Know the feeling. I kept my stock front tire on the bike until is had about9500 miles on it. Tire was still in good shape. Still, I decided to have the Avon Trike tire installed since it was the beginning of the season, and I know I was taking some trip. That trike tire has over 10K on it now and still in good shape. I am expecting just shy of 20K. So, it looks like I can ride that most of next year.

A Day in the Life...It has been 6 weeks now since our stem cell treatments. It has worked amazingly well for Mary's knee and hip. Improvement has been 85-90%, which is fantastic. It has worked very well on my knee, probably in the 75-80% range. We are both very happy with the results above. Much less expensive than surgery, no recovery time as there would be from surgery. No pain in the procedure, just a healthy improvement. Regarding my shoulder, there has been improvement, somewhere in the 25-30% range. While this is an improvement, it still leaves me with pain 24/7 in my shoulder, just a little bit less than it was previously. To be fair, the doctor said that my shoulder was messed up enough that I should really have a stronger stem cell treatment for it. (stem cells taken from the bone marrow instead of the blood). The bone marrow stem cell procedure is 5-6 times as expensive as the stem cells taken from the blood, plus it is a multi day process, and there is some recovery after they harvest the stem cells from the bone. I chose not to do that...not sure if I will choose to do that at some point in the future or not. I have lived with the pain/limited movement for over 10 years, so with a little less pain now, if it does not get worse, I will probably wait and see how the technology evolves over the next few years.

Front Steering StabilizersThanks , yes I ordered one but has not arrived yetBetter Derby Cover Bolts.I use 316 SS socket heads and replace every bolt on the bike I can with them. I usually figure out what sizes I need for the bike and order 50 or 100 pcs at a time through McMaster Carr, Grainger, or in a pinch go to my local Ace Hardware store. They have a deeper pocket than the button heads and have 0 issues with them. Been doing them on all my bikes over the years. I don’t have any fancy tools, just Craftsman. Just don’t ever use a stainless nut on a stainless bolt without antiseize on the threads or they will gall and break.Trike jacksI was too lazy to build something with wood. I ended up buying 2 sets of RhinoRamps when they were on sale. I will either pull forward or back up onto the ramps with back wheels depending on what I'm working on Then place a floor jack under the motor to get front end up high enough and slip a single ramp under the front wheel. Sometimes I just use a single ramp up front and just drive into that ramp. Again it just depends on what I'm working on.
DK Remote Filter & Secondary Oil Cooler Temp Reduction?There is nothing wrong with 230 deg F peak oil temp, especially if you run full synthetic (which you should). I never see anything higher that 225 and I just have the stock cooler.
Rake and Trike SteeringI have a 5% rake on my Goldwing 1800, It steers like a cadillac, NO SORE muscles for this 74 years old guy after ride'n 2 hundred on a day's tour..................:p Ronnie 11/6/24
Crummy last 4 daysYep, they usually com in 3"s so you should be good for a while. At least your AC didn't go out mid July/August.Riding the trike are you a ATGATT or jeans and t-shirt type rider?Jeans and tees unless it gets cooler then it’s a textile jacket and leather chaps or rain suit. I am looking for some textile pants this year.
Some changes2" ,250 wall on tubesBeen searching!!Service manual says to add slightly more than 26oz then use a fork oil level gauge set at 96mm (3.8") to draw any excess off. That's what I did when I installed the DK Intimidators. Got the gauge from Amazon. https://a.co/d/8UpNtfV
Hi from the UK.Getting better but one corner l regularly take has adverse camber and is followed by opposite corner again with adverse camber.catches me every time
Cover For Underframe Wiring To Oil CoolerAs an update, although I never had an issue with the heavy duty Velcro I was using, I opted to put small zip ties on all 4 corners. It's a minor inconvenience when it's time for an oil filter change, but that area where those exposed wires and connectors are is always clean, so it makes me feel better. It's been in place for over 7 months with no problems.
Champion Conversion KitI understand, I never could find and of the builds or the d/l. So thanks again this will workpurging oil systemI would need to move!!!
What did you do to Your Tri-Glide Today?Yesterday had a really nice 110 mile ride for breakfast and some nice country roads. Some of our favorite roads couldn't be ridden because of all the flooding north of where we live, we saw homes with water still up to the 1sts floor windows and it's been 3 weeks since the last storm came through, really sad.

Question 2 Papa ZookI had seen two of them at Bikeweek years ago, one was on a GL1500 and the other was on a GL1800. I thought they were quite neat.Stainless wheel discs behind rear rimsThe reason I questioned the heat is from my sports cars racing and performance rally experiences. My BIL was given a set of experimental plastic wheels for his rally car. They did not transfer heat as well as metal and started his brakes on fire and destroyed his wheel bearings. I put a front spoiler on my racer and lost my brakes after 5 laps when the air duct came loose. I know we aren't racing but some extreme twisties and down hills create the same demand on brakes.

Info on Boulevard C90 w/ Lehman ConversionMy brother had IIRC a 2008 C50T 2 wheeler and he had a similar complaint. He said the range just wasn't enough. A quick check of the specs and earlier models of the C90 did have smaller gas tanks, a 3.7 gal tank. So depending on the year of the Suzuki @geputten has and the hearing of his conversion, he could be close to normal. -
