Ice Bear is out of 300 Magnums. The factory is doing an extensive upgrade. The new Magnums should be available in late April. No news yet whether or not there will be a price increase.
Only way to get a Magnum now is from a dealer who has left over inventory from last year.

Jim, do you know what EXTNESIVE UPGRADES they are doing to the Trikes? Or is that a secret.

Mike an aluminum drive shaft would be a wonder wouldn't it? Would atleast do away with the constant chain adjustment. I'm with you the motor is just fine. Could use some after market products for them. Better and stronger panels would also be good. Hey Jim any idea how much a whole plastic body would be...could change the color of the the trike every couple of years. ha-ha

If they made all the changes we wanted it would cost $10,000+. Know anyone who wants one? I can't ride mine foe awhile. I'm on an serious blood thinner and could easily bleed out if I got a serious cut. I got out of the hospital after my latest stay this morning. The nurse had a hell of a time stopping the blood flow when she removed the IV line.

Ger, I'm sorry to hear that you've been under the weather. I sure hope that you get everything under control and are able to enjoy life for a very very long long time. I still owe you and Lee a backup set of lights. It's been a little crazy for me also, I just finished shaping the PC boards. I ordered some blue leds and holders to give the light cover the old blue dot tail light look. I'll through in the parts with some instructions so that you can change the board out and add the leds. If you want let me know and I'll mod a set of light covers and send them along also. In the mean time get healthy and take good care of yourself.
ed
p.s. the same goes for you to Lee.

Update.
I just talked to my rep at Ice Bear late yesterday and the release of the new model and the Magnum has been pushed back to sometime in May. The owner of the US Distributorship (Pacific Rim, Ca.) if flying out to China mostlikely this week to look at and test ride them to make sure they have gotten the bugs out before he will Import any more 300's. To me that says a lot about him and the way he does business. I have had emails with him in the past and seems to be a very straight up guy.

I have done a few mods to mine already and I am not done yet. I just might do a total upgrade and start over. Do you know what they are changing?

The only thing I have not completed on mine is the rear wheel hubs at the bolt ons. That light sleeve and the china bolts just are not holding up. Gonna match a bolt to the roller bearings and do away with the soft metal sleeve. Will be no more play in the wheels than

GER I'm sorry to hear you are feeling poorly I hope you recover quickly. USTACOULD: I've been spending a lot of time on my CB 900 and very little on the Magnum. I probably should sell it but I just can't bring myself to do it. Hope you guys are all doing ok. vr, Lee
