Aging Trikes

[abqGreenSide]

As with aging "trikers", aging trikes need attention too so I post to those intrepid trike riders that pull out the tool box and jack stands every winter to keep there rides up to snuff. A a GW owner I have found a rich set of resources available, not to mention a factory service manual, to help me keep my baby going. But, my old Lehman GTL conversion is a little more difficult to finding resources. Parts, maintenance (got the owners manual) and the savvy are not as easy to come by.

This forum is a great resource, straight from the horses mouth if you will. Would anyone like to suggest any other resources that can help keep those rides going for the next trip?

Thanks

If you could get a list of the early Lehman dealer/installers I think would be possibly handy.Lehman used to make available a parts supply for their drivelines,such as brakes,etc.Maybe these dealer/installers would still have those type items and be glad to get rid of whats on their shelves at a good price.Stock up.
I don't believe we will ever see a reproduction market for the older trikes like there is in the old car market,there just is not enough of them.
Having a parts list of what was used to put the early kits together would be a big help.

forum member Lee H Mann would be a good source to go to!

Generally, how old does a trike (with any conversion) have to be before it is hard to get parts for it? Ten, fifteen, twenty years old?
