Congratulations on your new ride jwlz. That made for a really nice trike.
It's so nice to be able to breath down hubby's neck a little, isn't it?

 

[Nauga Mok]

LOL Yeah, Big Twin guys don't like to admit it, but Sporties have been kickin' BT butt since 1957!! Enjoy!!

Spent Sunday cleaning off bug remains. Hubby worked on his and me on mine. Almost as fun as riding together. He also installed some clear film on the leading face of my rear fenders, they are real bug magnets plus they already had a few scuffs on them from getting on and off... well not me, but everyone who wanted to sit on it. Anyway she's all buffed and ready to go again.

I just wanted to thank all of you for the very nice comments. This is a fun site.

I will post more pics as soon as I remember to bring the darn camera with me again.

Best bug remover is old panty hose & mild liquid hand soap. The hose are abrasive enough to get the bugs off, but soft enough to not hurt the paint. Since Pest retired 14 years ago, I had to buy NEW, but they worked nicely even they did cause a raised eyebrow!

NM we know you are getting them for yourself.

 

[Nauga Mok]

Yeah, --- RIGHT!! Wouldn't even know how to put 'em on. Taking 'em off is another story --- OOPS!!

It's been a few weeks. I love it. My best friend just got her own trike, a FLHXXX. I don't know if I will ever go back to 2 wheels! Here's a few better quality pics of my Trike

I am so very happy with it... thank you all. If anybody from Ontario Canada (or in the Michigan area i suppose) wants info, I highly recommend the guys at "Trike My Bike" near Windsor Ontario. Talk to Lenn Curtis. He's the bomb!!!
Go to Trike My Bike

Haven't been online for a while... just an update.

The summer is pretty much done up here. We had a great summer riding (hubby on his CVO Street Glide and me on my Trike). We went to a few "Show and Shines and I won 2 place! It was very exciting. I can't get over all of the response I get with it no matter where I park.

It truly was the best money we ever spent. The motor upgrade was also worth every cent! gas mileage or range with the small tank is a bit of an issue. I get about 160 KM (100miles) to a tank... well maybe a bit more... I haven't run out.

Before it's stored my husband and our Harley tech (Steph) are going to Dyno Tune it. Scheduled this Saturday. Hubby gets his bikes done so with all the changes to the A/C, Engine and Exhaust he thinks it best i get mine done to... now that it's broken it.

I will report back with the HP/Torque results next week! Any guesses on what it might do?

And the story ends with me as happy as a schoolgirl:yay:
It's been undercover in our garage since January but I plan on making "Good Friday" a "Great Friday" arty:

Thanks for the info. Considering one for my wife's first bike/trike. Please keep us posted.
