    All good advice from the privious posters. Keep in mind that not all on them have a gear whine and usually those that do will have it in specific gears at certain rpms. With these bikes having been in production as long as they have it shows them to be of a proven design. Larry

    My trike: Falken tires on the rear - 215/55R-16 Dunlop 404 rear up front mounted in the conventional direction. Ragtops trike: Kumho Solus SR 21 P 195/60/15 on back Front- forgot to check

    Got Jay Ragtop69gs/Jeanies trike up on stands now as well. Forget just where I place the stands thou. Larry Ok I just checked the stand location while looking at tires. I placed the jack stands under the rearmost section of frame next to the mufflers where the angle iron extends to the body.

    Good luck with the Vic. Have a buddy who used to have one and loved it. Had to sell due to a divorce. Larry

    It's you. Seriously all you need to do is scroll down the 1st page and click open page 2. The clutch kit is listed 2nd to last at the pages bottom. Larry

    No problems what so ever when riding on 3. Prior to triking the bike I felt that the RSV was a pretty stable ride thou it would still get pushed around a bit with strong crosswinds. This was coming from a 500 lb bike opposed to the Ventures 850 lbs. And sometimes the same in and around semis, especialy on windy day. Now with three solid wheels grounded the bike almost rides as stable as a car. BUT while the bike is solid as a rock I'm not so the rider still gets buffeting on strong cross winds. Gets tiring after a while on the slabs so slowing down a bit helps there or as others here have said seak out slower secondary roads. Larry

    I'll 2nd that as Ponch sent me template drawings for 3 gauge sets but then I never used it as I decided to just keep what I already had. I don't think I have them anymore but will look if you want them Larry

    If you don't have a conventional mc/atv jack and/or a lift adpter then you could use a regular floor jack. With the bike on it's side stand put the jack under the rearward most crossbar on the frame. Jack the bike up just enough to be able to spin the wheel. The bike will be balanced on three points at this time. Front wheel, side stand, and the jack. Larry

    I'm going to hold all of my current prices for my items I make for another full season here. Current prices have been in effect for two years now but I know that by years end I'm going to have to raise them due to higher shipping and material costs. Anyhow everyone can expect my items holding at the current level till then when I'll reevaluate after the new year starts. Larry

    As the guys have said there's a ton of trike manufactures for the Wings. Search them all out and then go for whichever one you like best that'll fit your pocketbook. Looking forward to seeing what decision you make and the finished trike somewhere down the road. Have fun looking and Larry

    Awesome work he's done. Takes some real talent to do that stuff. You're justified for being so proud of him. Larry

    Hang in there Ruffy and don't give up just yet. Make the folks responsible who's supposed to be taking care of you. Some day I expect to be in your shoes since my knees are going south fast too. Dread the day it happens but what can ya do? Not much but grin and bear till you get healed. Larry

    The Sears Craftsman jacks do a very good job. I've had mine for 11 years now and it lifts my 1250 lb trike with no problem. Another consideration when buying a lift is the length of the lifting arms. Some Harbor Freight jacks only have a 12" lift arm on them. The frames on these bikes are about 12 1/4 " wide so you can see there's very little margin for error in centering them under the bikes frame. Larry

    That's a nice set up Cougar. So you isolated the turn signal circuit with a relay which is activated by the four way flasher switch? Looks great anyhow so I just may borrow your idea. Larry

    2nd that. Larry

    Possibly the timing is off?? Do you get any spark at all? Larry

    Brad, you and Lonna are a couple of the most deserving folks we have here on this great website. It's good to see members stepping up and giving you a hand for a change instead of the other way around. Sure wish I was closer or I'd be on your door step with tools in hand as well. Good luck Brother, Larry

    I think Owls post was more of a gentle reminder to watch what we post and try not to be offensive towards others here. Now I'll tell ya I'm getting riled up here cause we're getting "SNOW" tonight. Come on spring. Larry
