    This has been discussed many times here. It is recommended to use a punch insteed of the drill.

    I use 1/4-20 Nylon wing nuts I picked up at lowes for around $.50. Just cross thread them on the metric stud. They will not vibrate off. At that price a keep an extra set in the trunk in case I lose one.

    Thats right, it's under the seat. One nut under each side at the front of the seat. I don't remember what size nut.

    Actually it was pretty nice here yesterday in the morning got some work done on the trike. Then it turned to dodo in the afternoon:snow2:

    Try removing the tank and pull apart all the plug conections under the tank. dry them out, use some dielectric grease in them. do the same with all other plugs on the bike. like the connections behind the side covers and the lower fairing.

    started working on the Trike today. weather was in the high 40's today so I figured what the heck. Wasn't to bad in the garage. I moved the trunk back, it was really easy Took the 6 hold down bolts out, move it to the rear bolt holes, retightened. Took about 15 minutes. I have the same set up for the trunk as the 2 wheel version RSV. Then I figured since the weather is still pretty good I might as well change out the muffler. This took the rest of the day. Went from a set of noisy Sampson fish tails to a very nice sounding set of 05 RK's. A lot quietier, but still has a nice low rumble and a good bark when you get on it. My neighbors must have thought I was nuts, cause by the time I finished the install the weather went to heck. Temp dropped into the 30's with snow flurries, but there I was, riding up an down the road making noise. Sure felt good, even if it was for only a couple of minutes.

    OK, here's what you do...wait till the ship is out to sea, go out on deck take a good look around, take several deep breaths of that sea air and all will be well. repeat as needed. Now, HAVE A GOOD TIME:dancefool:

    Are you the original owner? Was it ever layed down? Just thinking a minor accident could cause problems like this.
  15. steamer
    I don't believe he has one for the RSV.

    We have a winner. You will love the hannagen. Go with the easy steer and maybe the extra tank. Good luck.

    I read the original post and went to the garage to measure my bars but when I got there I forgot why I was there. seriously I don't think anyone here meant to blow you off. sometimes life just gets to crowded.

    If your traveling on a weekend,then maybe leaving your place at around 4am should put you in chi-town around 6:30am traffic should be light at that time on a saturday. When I was stationed in Great Lakes and had to travel through Chicago We would leave as early as possible. Worked out pretty well. Thats about the only time of the day and week we didn't hit traffic.

    Or you could take a little extra traveling time and take the 43 to the 39 south to El Paso IL. pick up state rte 24 and head east till you are in Indiana. then you will be clear to go any direction you want. The more distance I can put between me and any city is the only way to go. I hate diving in traffic.
  21. steamer
    Like most large city's the best time is around 3-5am. Not many people on the road at that time. You will be between shift changes and all other sane people will be in bed.

    Did you align the axcel? There's a procedure here somewhere for doing it.

    Yama Mama hit it right on the noise. I did get an reply back from the owner. He said he was asking $8000.00 to keep away the tire kickers and he was really looking for $6000.00 but when he was offered $6000.00 he backed out of the deal and is now going to keep it.

    I had the voyager kit on my 99, made me want to go to a full trike. The kit is a good way to start out. Look for a used kit. Most are selling for around $2000.00. But make sure it will fit your bike.The belly plate and attaching kit will cost you another $500.00 or more. They are fairly easy to remove but not so easy to reinstall. After doing a couple of times it gets easier. But still a pain. The ride is close to a true trike but not as stable. Also if you go with the kit ,look at triggs trikes They seem to make the best kit out there.

    From the picture's would say it is mostly stock. It had passing lamps and front fender guard. Not much else.
