    Here's some Tri Z footpegs that are currently available . They are made by Wicked Metal Designs.

    You can also possibly still get a billet aluminum stator cover like the one 3 Wheel Drive has and an aluminum Sprock head etc if you want t make it flashy . A few people here know what cool parts are available for these and where to get them.

    If you get it and decide you want to make it faster, a few people here like YTZ drew can tell you how to do that . Also look at the link below for engine mod info . At the bottom of each page in very small print it will say "continue" . Click on that to view the next page.

    I stepped up one size and drilled/tapped for fine thread bolt and never had a problem since. Granted I'm not roosting mine over huge jumps.

    The main issue with the foot pegs is letting the bolts get loose. If you ride and they loosen up the nut welded inside the frame breaks off. I have 1 frame with this problem, I asked Raffa at trike fest if he had any plates made to fix this and he was out at the moment. But said he'll get more made. now that it's winter rebuild time i'll have to see if he has made more.

    Just around it has a blown shock so handles bad. Got an extra one with it but doesn't look much better. Plus its kinda cutting out in the higher rpm.

    A lot of people here seem adamant about using 3WW member onformula1 for suspension work, however I suggest Race Tech to people that need it. I would call them and possibly another rebuilder and use the one you feel most comfortable with.

    For anything from a simple oil change to complete rebuilding or revalving of your original shock or forks, Race Tec Suspension can do it all at very competitive prices . . Their labor cost to clean and rebuild most shocks is only $100.00.

    They also sell a book which explains how suspension works and it also offers setup tips etc.

    That changed during your last ban. Turns out he's about as reliable as a Tecate stator.
    It sucks to get old

    I'm truly flattered to have you trolling me as my own personal stalker, however, as I mentioned earlier today and also prior to that on a few occasions, I really think you should get some professional help for this unhealthy and unnatural obsession and start obsessing about someone from the opposite sex . You have made comments about me in at least 6 different posts in the last day and a half . If this isn't obsessive behavior, I don't know what is.


    Geez barn what's the prob....I'd be happy to get any type of attention from anyone!
