New project, riders back rest
photos Finished. Fits me great. My back is in good shape now, no more straining to reach the bars and keeping me back bent. I added a 1.75 inch off set to push the Back rest forward. This is very solid. Only movement is in the BR pad. I used nylon bushings for the swivel. This gives a...- dirtdobber

To All Our Vets...
It's the younger generation that puts a smile on my face and tears in my eyes whey they say welcome home then put out their hand. Look at their face, you will know if it is a genuine thank you or not. The younger generation is why we do the things we do, they are our future. Teach them, spend...- dirtdobber

New project, riders back rest
After doing a lot of research I could not find but one back rest mount for the freewheeler. HD carries just the mount but it's over $240. It is a good one, had one on my ultra like it. I just could not bring myself to spend that kind of money for just a mount. I found some good photos and...- dirtdobber

dealers wanting certain bike's
My dealer called me a few minutes ago wanting to buy my 2010 ss106 wide glide. They asked some questions about the condition of it then wanted me to bring it in as they are short on used Dyna bikes to sell. I know its just a way to get me in so I would trade. Can you believe this. Still...- dirtdobber

Late nighters---unite!!!
It is really easy to get a bundle tied up in a bike now days. With all the new and additional taxes now makes it hard to do much. Alabama just added a new tax on Tobacco, raised a pack of smokes from $4 with taxes already added to 4.28 + tax. Yes I am sleeping better but I still stay up to...- dirtdobber

Off my performance trike build. Going to something different on it. 4 of em is just too much for a trike. Need something...- dirtdobber

Got bored again
Nothing to do except play in the shop. I want to make a set of cruise pegs shaped like a Indian hatchet. So I made a miniature version to get my critics opinion, wow she's got one to.

vtx 1800, champion trike kit, vibrations
A friend and member here brought his trike by to find a vibration. I check everything I could. Drive shaft, u joints and splines, pulled the rear wheels and checked bearings as well as fluids.

riding problem
In 2010 I bought a csc goldwing trike thinking it would help. It did but within 6 month's I was back on 2 wheels. I felt I wasn't ready for 3 wheels yet. In 2014 my health went sour so I bought another goldwing roadsmith trike in Oct of 2014. I really like this a lot. I sold my cvo street...- dirtdobber

made a luggage rack for the trike.
I'll repeat myself, it can be seen from a cage, car/truck etc... The camera was on the floor for a better shot that is why it looks hidden. I have used these racks since 2010 and have never been stopped. I thought I would when I first stated using the packitrack.- dirtdobber

made a luggage rack for the trike.
I do not like to waste anything. I am a scavenger by heart, i will collect any metal I can get my hands on, regardless of size. A couple of years ago a fellow had a wreck in front of the house. Lost a lot of metal. He said I could have it all. I got 4 pieces of 4x6 1/4 inch thick 10 feet long...- dirtdobber
