    Paint protective film cracked and ugly

    Steam is your friend. A cheap garment steamer from Wally World works well. It also can be used to reapply film. Gets bugs off your windshield too.

    Primary chain adjuster

    I'm odd man out. I like the auto adjuster. I remove the primary cover at every oil change. I dont care what anyone sez, change that primary oil. Microscoptic metal can adhere on the rotor cover because of the magnets and eventually short out the armature prematurely. HD sez impossible but they...

    PASSING LIGHT CONNECTOR

    I made my own connector using Tyco weatherseal connector. I don't care for the toggle switch myself. Instead opted for a marine style lighted rocker switch. They can be found on Fleabay and Amazon.

    Thinking about a Freewheeler

    If you haven't already- take one for a test ride. If you intend to pack a lady take her along also( buy the sissybar/ backrest and luggage rack at time of sale). 2 upgrades you should do immediately is Nextgen shocks and breather bypass. Then later an oil filter relocation kit. Check out DK...

    Trike Rear Fender Protection: Typical Price for PPF Installation?

    You can do it yourself. There is a learning curve. A garment steamer, heat gun, slip solution and fingers and your all set. Splurge and get dedicated squeegees or glove.I like using Vivvid products as it's thicker but hard to work with. They have a bazillion colors and a sticky backing. Look at...

    Goodbye CVO SG, hello Free Wheeler

    My uncle had a Servi Car at his gas station up in New York, which his parts monkey and mechanic used. We kids were forbidden to sit on it, or mess with it in any way. To enforce those rules he had a razor strop hanging on a hook with big white letters on it "KIDS". I can feel it like it was...

    ABS system

    I think the newer bikes are OBDII? In any case you need a scanner with bi- directional capability. Or do it the Old Road Dog way: Change and bleed fluid. Ride, panic stop. Go back bleed. Ride, panic stop. Repeat until your happy.

    Trike Traveling w 2 small dogs

    I'm on my second Kuryaken Pet Palace. First the bad: Zippers on the main opening tend to break....they get used so much and have to make that u bend turn. I've repaired them myself. Also it has no internal frame work so it kind of sags when it gets older. It's rated for up to twenty pounds. The...

    Newish member picking up first trike Saturday morning

    If it dosnt have a breather bypass that should be the first thing you do even though it's 5 years old. DK Customs has what you need and get rid of that awful stock air cleaner. You already learned how to ride a trike when you were 2.
