Need help in las vegas

[triwinggirl]

I will do that thank you:clapping:

I sprayed the plugs with silicone spray, the gaskets wont go in right, im really thinking about taking the orange gaskets out and sealing them with silicone.:xzqxz:

That is called a weather pak seal

I dunno about silicone, it makes a heck of a mess

Lube is the answer and lining up the latch

I know they are a pain, but they are meant to seal tight

You can do this, you have done some amazing things as seen by your progress

Hang in there

I do believe I just did a load test on the battery, earlier I charged it couple hours. I just went outside and tried to start her by pulling in the clutch while in gear. normally not an issue, tonight I got clicks, put it neutral and it still barely turned over. definitely not holding a charge and certainly cant take a load. it seems to me im buying a battery. but I did put it back on the charger.

Final assembly well almost

IT must have been the cold this morning, the stereo plugs snapped right in.:clapping:

the top cover is on, dash and all. she is drivable now.:clapping:

I did have one missing part on the seat. its a insert guide for the screw.:gah:

I gotta go get the missing part a groceries be back soon with a pic of finished assembly in the street.

Got the test ride done

I rode her to Honda to order the missing seat part. the clutch works good, well better than it did. the front brakes work, the rear brakes seem to need rebleeding. I've road worse.:clapping:

that front tire is power steering on steroids, it really could kill if mistreated. going to have to get used to that. :xzqxz:

the stereo keeps blowing fuses might have a speaker short. could be my battery issue.

:xzqxz:

here's that first pic I promised. still need to put her eye lashes on and bolt on the seat.

:clapping:

 

[Jack Klarich]

Great job, you should be proud:clapping:

CONGRATS you did IT it's on the road

 

[trike lady]

I've got the box of meters and a couple of other things packed, all I need is your address. These are what I promised you. They'll help you with your repairs.

Congrats, your trike looks good. :clapping:

Please PM one of the mods your address and then they can send me a PM so that I can send you the package. I go into town at least once a week for shopping and to do other stuff. I'd like you to have these tools as they'd be a great help to you and I'm retired and have no use for them.

 

[triwinggirl]

I sent it to papa zook he said he would pass it on

 

[trike lady]

I sent it to papa zook he said he would pass it on

Thank you, got the PM today. Will be going into town on the 28th and will mail the box. I live in the desert and once a week there is a trip into town.

Trike Lady, you are such a kind, thoughtful lady.

 

[triwinggirl]

I got my seat part today, it's not supposed to rain tomorrow, so I hoping I can get the last little bit done tomorrow.

Hope all is going good for you now

You sure deserve a break:clapping:

Nothing relaxes you more than a Good Nap ..Similar to dyeing, But without the Eternal Commitment.......

update

I have bolted on the seat, I installed the right side chrome engine cover, I broke a tab on the left side going to JB weld it soon. im currently curling her eyelashes.:clapping:

I still need to rebleed the brakes.:Shrug:

since I charged the battery overnight it seems fine now, no trouble yet. I will still check it when trike lady's tools arrive.

JOY rides well, as I said before the steering is power on steroids, just the slightest movement and she moves fast. I could easily find myself in another lane if not careful. the smaller flat surface car tire has a lot of traction. the suspension works great very smooth. I find I must lean more often to compensate for tipping. more needed exercise for me. but I like that so i'll get used to this fast.:xzqxz::clapping:

I will post a final pic soon.:clapping:

Add a little JB to those lashes, it will eliminate any maintenance !

Leaning to compensate is a natural thing, as you won’t tip over. Ride Ride Ride :scooter:

About the leaning.... have you tried pushing down on the floorboard with the foot opposite to the curve? Example: if you are curving to the left, push down on the right floorboard or peg if no floorboard. Then of course, vice versa the other way. It offsets that feeling of having to lean the bike or some people think its a feeling of the bike trying to throw them off. The guys out here posted that little trick and it works great. Your mechanical skills and determination are very admirable.

 

[Jack Klarich]

Slowly pump up the brakes, strap the pedal down for a while as you are doing other work

Then crack the bleeders loose slowly

This should work out more air

yes I do this under normal slower condition, however I don't always go slow, in fact I usually go a bit faster than most. I hate cars, my main goal is to get away from them. they crowd me, pace me, follow me, sit on my ass, get in my way generally. forcing me to make moves that require more aggressive moves, to stay alive, so it's not so much leaning as doing the hang off the side monkey thing, to keep from tipping. I also really like taking some corners fast.

the new front suspension and smaller front car tire grip way better now that the factory set up. this also causes a need to do the monkey thing at slower speeds as well as the trike now makes very fast movements at the slightest move of the steering. tipping is now a very real thing, a sudden turn could actually tip JOY over.

I recently replaced the rear tires, before this modification, the old tires were more of a performance tire and broke loose easy, the new rear tires had way more grip with the old front end. now with the new front end getting so much grip, the rear tires are sliding again.

FYI I have been riding and racing bikes since I was in high school, im a very skilled rider. this is in no way my first rodeo.:xzqxz:

With all the injuries you have sustained and the arduous re-build of the trike I’m glad things are getting back together for you finally. Have a good riding season!
