What Made You Join TrikeTalk Forum?

join reason

i joined because i have built 2 trikes. 1st one was already done but poorly so we tore it down and machined all components including axle tubes around the rear end pumpkin from scratch. that one was a 92 sporty 883/1200 big bore 4 speed. it was fun but max mph was limited to 70mph or less.

the 2nd is my baby J-Quelin. shes a 96 Heritage Softie 1340 bored 20 over with a DNA kit.

Over all im happy with it however there are a few things they could have done better.

the brake calipers (4 piston) are sufficient but the rotors are small. We removed them and cross drilled them to compensate.

next i wanna rake it or add a steering stabilizer. a 4-5 deg rake would look good regardless.

New to trikes, new to forums

Hi there. My name is Eric and I’m a guy who doesn’t do a whole lot on computers. Kind of like an urban Amish. Waiting for my first trike. Have a used 2019 Harley Tri Glide in the works that should be all taken care of before Thanksgiving. Rode for many years on 2 wheels through various makes and gave it up about 10 years ago. Got the bug for that free feeling and decided to give a trike a try. This is the first forum I’ve joined - ever - hoping to gain insight into the ins and outs. Looking forward to learning and talking.

Talk Forum

I guess this is long over due. After coming off a 2 wheeler for some 50 yrs., I needed to learn more about the in's and out's a trike and what others found interesting about them. Still wanting to keep my knees in the breeze..

What Made Me Join TrikeTalk Forum?

the Cacti Huggers told me I was too prickly to join their group, but Trike Talk embraced me.

Why I joined

I felt it is always good to have a group who knows the workings of the motorcycle brand they are riding. So far I have learned about the shifter problems on my bike and how to fix it. How to get my Passing lights to work and look factory built. As I join in this forum I hope to get and give information I have learned to others.

Glad to be here

Been riding 2 wheels on and off since I was 16 (now 73 Ugh!). Recently bought a 2018 DCT Tour CSC Encore. Love it. The dealer I bought it from in GA dropped it off at CSC In Arrington VA. I picked it up at their factory. Great people. Very knowledgeable and bent over backwards to make us feel welcome.

I joined TT because this is the place you find out things on your Trike that the dealer does't know or will not tell you. In other words knowledge. So far I am impressed with all the helpful people here.
