Thanks, 3W.
Spent some time looking over the trike this week. Many loose nuts and bolts, in particular the exhaust mounts and exhaust shields, and some of the chrome accessories. The squeaks in the back were resolved by putting some light oil on the heim joints. Now quiet as a mouse. I haven't yet explored the "buzz bolt" but will investigate as time permits.
Dropped the air bags down to 15 psi (they were 30) which seems to smooth out the ride. I can't detect any harmonic vibration at this time, but it's been so darn hot here that even morning rides are limited to a few minutes.
U-joints all looked good, although quite a bit of slop in the drive-train somewhere. Don't know if in the trans or in the diff. Maybe this is normal.
All in all - coming along nicely. Used a whole bottle of 'final finish' to remove years of water spots and grime. The bodywork cleaned up really nice for a 23 year old scoot.
I have your phone number and will give you a call this weekend. Much obliged.

the play in the differential is normal, mine always had play even new.
