I found a place that sales dyna beads local,so will try. I have installed all of my LED light today and a rear break light flasher that flashes the break lights 6 time then stay on. I like the look you can really see my coming at night.

motobuys.com was no help they want me to pay to have the engine removed then pay to send engine to them. garys reply was well i can send you out a new gasket. then i informed him i was going to open a card dispute his reply was go ahead and try soon as i send them the contract that we only offer parts replacement they will reverse dispute. i never signed any contract and all my ordering was done over the phone not on website. so here we go.

Anyone tried moving thier shocks? they look like they are adjustable. Will try to put in my dyna beads in the morning, hope they workout.

[stewali]

Wheel dyna beads worked out. Anyone tried moving the shocks to see what kind of difference it makes?

[sarge707]

You probably have more riding than most. If you adjust shocks I think its best to jack up the wheel because it will adjust easier that way. No tool was included . Guess you have to get inventive?

[stewali]

no one has anything to report about their scooter? I havn't tried to move shocks yet, just driving it the way it is for noe. What do you thing would be a good replacement tire in the furture on these scooters?

Here is a pic of the Kenda K413 vs the Chinese tire we got (Kenda tires were in the original photos we saw of this trike but like the fenders they substituted?)
Its a 130/60/13 but appears much broader and I think it will straight line track much better. Won,t know until I try it.
It is about 1/2 inch shorter if measured from the rim attachment point- Will take another pic when I get it put on.
Time to go start taking the wheel of before it rains.

I,m hoping it provides better stability BUT with the stock one wobbling so bad I,m sure anything will be an improvement.
Almost got wheel of f and it appears under the brace that holds the calipers is a hole for a larger hex fitting to unlock the wheel? is this common? Gotta watch a couple vid,s on this !

[stewali]

Are you going to replace the front wheels ?

[sarge707]

I don,t know? I only rode it with the centering lever on a short ways because of the out of round rear tire. If I like it after about 3 hundred miles of satisfactory performance I will be looking for different mods , like anyone I guess?

[losmandeals]

Okay so i finally got time today to rip engine apart to see why it was leaking and as i suspected there was not head gasket on it luckily the motorcycle shop in town had one. the metal one. i seen a few online that were paper type. i now have it back on and testing it right now at idle. took some pics of it ripped apart just to show.

[sarge707]

Great, I hope this turns out to be a Great little trike!
It will turn heads like the Spyder does!

[stewali]

Yes it does turn heads, and many questions.
