    Tri-Wing puts a vent on the right side of a flipped Ford solid axle, on the differential case tube. I've read somewhere the vent needs to be on this side due to the ring gear being able to throw oil out if placed on the left. Also Jonesy is right about the amount of oil used. Any more then that and you'll eventually blow out an axle seal. Hope this helps ya, Larry

    Annie may have a problem with those wheels Carl. Steering is on the wrong side for her to start with. Larry

    Sorry to hear of your mishap but glad it wasn't too serious. Like all have said take time to heal up and then give it another go. Larry Oh better their bike being dropped then yours too.

    Like a couple others here I've been a wrench just about all my life. Never having worked in a dealership thou but for county. We serviced just about any and all types of vehicles they bought over the years for the police departments, general supervisors, airport departments, etc. I have also owned a wide variety of makes, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, VW bugs, Datsun (Nissan now), & KIA over the years. All have good and bad features IMHO. Some more then others of course. Some had mechanical problems others with bodies rusting away, mostly back in the 60's & early 70's. Today I own a "01" Dodge 4x4 pu, "07" Mustang convertible, and a "11" KIA Sorento. Gotta say thou I've been really impressed with the two KIA's I have owned. A "07" Sportage prior to the current Sorento. BTW the Sorento is made in the USA down in Georgia. I think for the most part today's cars & trucks are way ahead in serviceability and quality. My purchases had as much to do with what we wanted & liked in a vehicle and who had the best deal, getting the best bang for our hard earned money. Bottom line is buy what you like as you only need to please one person (2 if including the spouse) . Larry

    Me too since the front works then the stock fuse for that circuit should be good. Back to the testing. Larry

    Nice color choice. Looking forward to seeing you on it here in the states Annie. Larry

    Don't overlook the stock horn fuse either as it may have tripped with the bad relay. If that's good then you have to dao as BongoBob says. Start rechecking for power and ground at the various points the wires connect to. Larry

    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

    LMAO so much I had tears rolling halfway thru the post. Folks don't eat none of Flyingfools chili. Larry
  25. Carbon_One
    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
