Yesterday after work I decided to repack my muffler. Next thing I know This happened.
I got this trike about 4 years ago. Here is what it looked like when I first got it (except for the bark busters)
After the throttle stuck on WOT one time, I figured I should overhaul it a bit. Here are a few pictures of that process
Old piston, really dodged a bullet there!
New bore, new piston.
More new stuff
First start after rebuild
Trike really came alive after the rebuild. But it needed new suspension. I put a Works shock on the back and progressive rate spring on the front
Here it is with the new suspension and some new rubber
Now it's time to clean the trike up again. I have it mostly tore down right now. Waiting on parts. Plan on doing:
New crank seals
New water pump seals and bearings
New swing arm seals and bearings
Inspect the top end and see how its doing. Check the play in the crank while in there.
New shrouds
New stickers
New hoses for radiator
New chain and sprockets
New muffler - both exhaust hangers on the muffler failed when I landed a jump and I didnt notice right away, so the muffler got all beat up :\
Other odds and ends
I'll keep this thread updated as I go. Sure I'll have some questions for you guys.
Does anyone have a decent OEM exhaust hanger, the one with two bolt holes that goes on the top of the exhaust, they want to sell?
Will Mayer plastic fenders looks bad with my OEM tank and shrouds?
Got any suggestions for other things I should replace/check while I'm at it?
Thanks eveyrone for this site and all the help ya'll have been to me over the years!
