Yes, my trike is finished!!! Hubby and I went for a 50 mile "starter" ride, I love it. I did notice a difference when I shifted, it seemed to "clunk" each time I hit the heel shift. My husband said that it may be that the clutch needs to be adjusted, or that it's just because it's pulling more like 300 lbs now, vs 50 lbs when I shift gears. He said he may have to adjust the clutch, it may be a little harder for me to pull in but he said we still have time for that. Has anyone else noticed that after a conversion kit was installed?? We did in town riding, highway riding, speed bumps, railroad tracks, round a bouts,. By the end of our ride, I was more used to it and felt more relaxed. Looking forward to getting out on Saturday. Today the temps were around 70 and will drop to 50 by Saturday. Out come the chaps, more layers and leather. I liked riding on two wheels, but I LOVE three so much better already. :)
 
Glad to hear your trike is completed and on the road. I'm sure others will chime in regarding the shifting difference you're noticing. It just might be a characteristic of your trike, or maybe an adjustment is still required. ;)
 
Congrats southpaw may I suggest the Clutch Wizard that is available from a member of this forum. It will make that clutch pull alot easier.
