    Hey where did you get my truck at? Just kidding but I did have one exactly like that that I had restored some years back. Same color green too it looks like but had a cream interior. I had put in a 350 engine and Muncie 4 speed trans in mine. Enjoy the ride Gary. Larry

    Also if you're still baffled on this, then a call to Tri-Wing will get ya going again. They are a very service minded company and will help with any questions you may have. As Jonesy said they provide spacers for one side for setting the track. Larry

    None that I know of and certainly if there was not by that much. On my Tri-Wing set up the differential yoke aligns perfectly with the bikes drive shaft with the shaft well centered in the swing arm tube. The differential itself will be off-center some, not sure by how much without checking, but that's normal even for cars. They're not perfectly centered is what I'm saying here. Anyhow if your drive shaft is centered in the swing arm and the differential yoke aligns up with it when the axle is bolted down to the framing then there's nothing out of alignment. If you're still out of alignment after bolting the axle in place then the mounting pads are probably welded in the wrong place. Larry

    I'll let someone else comment on the Diamond-R model. I have the Utiopa model with studs to match my Midnight. It has two pivot points. Down near the base and at the top where the backrest attaches to the mounting bracket. What I like most about it is that the wife can get on easier due to the backrest being able to fold down with the backrest sitting on the drivers seat. That feature also makes it easier for the driver swinging their leg over the saddle too. There's a turn screw on the bottom swivel section to allow adjustment fore and aft for that perfect spot for the driver. It has a zippered removable pouch on back and the material matches perfectly to the RSV's seats. I did make one change to mine when I got it thou. As it came from Utiopa I thought the backrest pad was a bit too high to my liking so I lowered it about an inch or so. Drilled 2 holes in the mount and was good to go for that. Anyhow I really do like the Utiopa backrest myself. Larry

    Like Brad I use the cruise control light to remind me if I'm in 4th or 5th gears. Works pretty good too and don't have to kee checking on gear numbers. Having a tach helps as well. Larry

    Thought about it but like B2Mom there's just not enough funds & time to do all the M&E's /rallies we'd love to go to. So our only shot for that area this year will be at Eureka Springs. Larry

    Bob I've done some researching on doing an adapter for the trikes. For the Tri-Wings it was no problem but for the Hannigan trike that was a different game all together. I just haven't figured out a way to build a lift adapter for them. One problem is they sit a lot lower to the ground thus making it harder to get under the bike with an adapter plus a jack. That alone requires one to drive up on boads or whatever. Then the framing in the rear presents a lot of problems too. Anyhow I haven't given totally up just yet. On my trike the balance point has shifted a good 12" to the rear. Larry

    Checked out the address but it's a residence with the guy working from his home. He drop ships orders so nothing on hand to check out. I did order one from another e-bay dealer so once I get it later this week I'll report back on the unit. It was cheaper to order out of state due to the 6% sales taxes and shipping added on to the selling price. Larry

    If by chance the banner can't be found, who or where could we get another one made up? I really like the idea of having a banner going from International rally year to year. Larry

    Mine arrived today as well. Excellent workmanship on them. Larry

    We did but if I remember correctly I think someone won it as a door prize at evenings end. Could be wrong on that thou. Or it could be the same one that's been to Don's MD.????:confused24: Larry

    Was thinking about the ole boy not long ago and was wondering how he was doing. Glad to know he's doing good now. 2 wheels or 4, it don't matter since he can still catch wind with the top down. Larry

    Losing our cherished pets is just like losing one of the family. Because they are family. We've had to put down several over the years and when you do it's always sad. I'll look forward to seeing them at that Rainbow Bridge one day. Larry

    Looks good to me and didn't see any bugs crawling around. Larry

    Something is deffineately wrong if it still pulls hard and you see no movement in the clutch pack. Best to undo what you did and recheck/reinstall the clutch assembly to verify that you did or didn't get it right the first time. Larry

    The 328 model would be a better/easier unit to use on our bikes. Like Joe said it is a bit awkward to get the 325 model clipped over the spark plug wire. That J & P store is only about 10 miles from me so I'm going to go there and check these out. Don't know if they're open on weekends so may have to wait till Monday to do that. I'll report back my findings. Larry

    Hmm looks like we'll have to do this either before or after the rally due to time constraints. Larry
