:confused:I just finished putting together a trike,

using a 2000XL1200C and MYSTERYDESIGNS kit.

the first 40 miles, the fork seals leaked bad.

i replaced them ( had them done ) and those leaked within the first 20 miles.

they guy that replaced them for me had another set of 39mm forks off of a 01 xl1200 . we put those on as he knew there was no damage to either the tubes of the lowers, again, within the first 20 miles they blew also.

I have a hawg halters 5 degree raked tripple tree on the bike. the bike was lowered in the rear to set level.

the combined wieght of the tires wheels and rear end added nearly 300 pounds, i can't think that is much more than the lehman or other kits.

PLEASE helpe me . i've been building this bike in my head for 5 years. I have accomplished my dream, and now i cant ride ... .

has anyone ever had such a problem . :confused:
