Sorry about that..... Glad to be back! I've been so freaking busy helping my son-in-law in building their house. The house is 165 miles away which has set me back all year. Was able to get away a few weeks to take a vacation but, unfortunately not on the bike.
Now, everything is starting to...
Finally..... Great News!! I've been road testing off and on over the past week with positive results! I'm now confident that I finally got past this ongoing nightmare! If you're in a reading mood, grab yourself a cup of joe or a coke...... :unsure:
With the bike totally off the ground, I...
Hi Guy's! First, I want to Thank You for hanging in there with me!! I'll be back to hands on in a few weeks. I haven't been able to jump back in on the trike for one reason or another but, I have talked to a couple trike dealer's / installer's. Their thoughts on replacing the SMC is not to...
Just wanted to touch base..... I contacted Wilwood asking them if they supplied Lehman with any of their disc brake parts back when they were being built.
Their answer was the following:
"From previous emails with other Lehman owners, I know the 11.2” rotor is 160-8484, and we still have...
Just wanted to drop in and say, I sincerely appreciate all your help and time throughout this entire ordeal! It's been quite a long and puzzling ride to say the least. I'm sure a resolution will be found.... Thank You!! you Guy's Rock!!
I Wish All of You & Your's a Very Merry Christmas & Happy...
**REVISION: Lehman Trike Rear Pedal Brake & Bleed Sequence (below). Previously, the diagram showed the Wilwood One Way flow valve on the wrong hydraulic line... Sorry (Headbang)
Today, I went ahead and checked the pivot bracket along with pivot action once again on the SMC. As shown in the...
Work performed for this test:
1) Cleaned, inspected all shoe hardware, PB strut free play and re-applied lubricant grease (Permatex purple) on the backer plate nubs behind the shoes on both wheels. I didn't install the new shoes yet due to wanting to clear up the locking problem. I ordered...
Sorry it's been a while.... Been working on the trike off and on over the last several weeks. The short story; After a 46 mile stop & go road test, the trike is now holding a fairly straight line during braking. Unfortunately, during the second half of the ride the rear brakes became touchy once...
Thanks again Jack, I'm just getting ready to wrap this brake issue up......hopefully. After taking another look at my new Raybestos shoes (not installed yet), I noticed that they're not manufactured incorporating backing plate pads. Instead, the areas that normally have the pads are just edge...
Continued from previous post;
My first attempt will be get the (currently installed) brake shoes properly adjusted > Try to lock them up while on jack stands or road test
> If the brakes lock up and/or are close to it, I'll follow up with more diagnosing. I came across a post in another forum...
Sorry, I've been away..... I've been gathering parts to throw at this brake mess along with playing catch up on everything else but, I'm getting ready to jump back in. I received my new drums from NAPA using the Lehman Trike part number but, they wouldn't seat properly due to the lug studs being...
Thank you Dan for digging into this.... First, Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner. For some reason I didn't receive any notifications from you or Marc H.
Without doubt, I would love to do this conversion. Yes, pulling the axles and removing the backing plates wasn't that bad. The Ford...
