    Nope that won't include any rake kits. You're looking at $8-900 more for that. Some folks don't rake their bikes but anyone who has says that it is the way to go just for the easier steering. The kits come pretty much complete except for tires & wheels, rake changes, and any paint to match the bike. You'll get the frame, an axle, air bags, lights, speedo healer converter, & of course the body. You could add on options such as a hitch, 5 stud axles and a choice of gear ratios . Normal axle ratio is 3:42 with 3:73 as an alternate. I strongly suggest the 3:73 ratio if anyone plans on towing a trailer. Larry

    Lewis Tri-Wing has been making their tike conversions for the 1st gens a long time. I know they'bve been in business more than 20 years. While Hannigan is the 2nd gen favorite for a lot of folks here Tri-Wing has been used by some of us, myself included, mainly to save a handfull of $$$$. If you're handy with a wrench and take your time attending to details you can build up a nice head turner. Good luck on your decision Larry

    Well guys thanks for all the info here. Considering the cost of the adapter, the age of the bike and its milage I'm going to side with Tim on this one. I can't justify the cost of the adapter even if you do save on the filters themselves. After 29 years and 76+k the bike still runs great so this is one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" things in my book. Larry

    Yep two choices is all we get for these bikes. Hannigan & Tri-Wing. It would be interesting thou if any of the other trike companies will or would be willing to add their name to to the pot. If Solodadof2's friends have access to other brand trikes perhaps one could be adapted to the Venture without much hassle. Larry

    My question is what are the advantages of converting the oem cartridge filters to the spin on variety? Are the spin on versions a better filtering system then the oem's or is it because there's more choices using the spin ons? Also if switching to a spin on type who or where has the best conversion adapters? This is for an 83. Larry

    Joyce & I rolled in today at about 6pm. We left the hotel Friday morning and did a day long country ride ending up just east of Pittsburgh, Pa with Jay & Jeanie , Tom & Terry. I parted ways this morning while they contiued on seeking more country roads leading to the Hocking Hills in Ohio. We had a great time seeing and riding with folks at the rally. There was just so much to choose from one couldn't do it all or be with everyone at any given time. Thanks to Big Tom and his crew for putting on a great rally this year. Larry

    While I'm not new here or new to the RSV bikes ( I have a 05 Midnight trike) I am new to the 1st gen bikes having gotten a 83 like yours last week. So I'll be learning things right along with you as I get mine back to shape too. These 1st genners here are a devoted bunch bar none and are wealth of knowledge who are willing to share with everyone. Most will even stop by and lend a hand helping you if they live close enough. Good luck getting your ole gal back to good riding shape. Larry

    Happy Birthday Carl Hope you have an enjoyable day. Larry Should of noted this was Marcarl's B-Day
  19. Carbon_One
    Thanks Carlos for the offer. Got a service manual from Denny. Don't know what year it's for but assuming it"ll cover the bikes info since he used it whenever he had to work on the bike. Larry

    I'm sure I may be getting some use outta the file since the 83's are pretty much the same. Thanks for posting it, Larry
  21. Carbon_One
    Yea you've a few of those moments thinking just what the He** did I get myself into with this trike. Rest assured that in due time you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.LOL Take your time learning the handling characteristics and you'll be fine. Enjoy the ride on 3. Larry

    When I get back from the International rally I'll redo the one I have on hand and then will make all others the same afterward so they'll be able to be used on those with or without the running boards. I'll drop you a pm when I get it done. Larry
  23. Carbon_One
    Yes you can use the lift adapter with running boards. I have one built and boxed now. This one you will need to remove the center support bar on the running board. A couple 1/4" bolts and a "U" clamp is all that's needed to remove that support bar per side. Future adapters will have a cross bar on the lift adapter moved further rearward so that this running board support won't need moving. If you want this one I have on hand you'll need to order today. Otherwise it'll be 2 weeks before I can ship one out. Larry
  24. Carbon_One
    Maybe he had blanks??? Either way those guys couldn't get away fast enough. Hope they're carrying some of that lead too. Larry

    OK guys to clarify the spacer or lack of one the Stebel horns come with a black plastic spacer as seen in the pics Mike G posted. If you're putting on a Wolo horn then they don't add that plastic spacer so then you would need to put something there to take up the difference or it would indeed hit the pipes. The bolt provided with a Stebel would be too long if I extended the bracket to accommodate it without that spacer so that would need either to be cut shorter or replaced with one the appropriate size. I will look into changing the length of the bracket on the next batch I make so that it wouldn't need any spacer at all. I still have about dozen and half on hand so will sell those 1st before converting to any new sizes. Larry
