Cyborg the rain has been really bad here too. I had to follow the radar and watch my route weather until I found a window of no rain to make the trip last week from Florida. Had a day of cold in the am one day but all rain clear. Enjoy the wind today

Right on Alley... We have a lot of trikes in Florida mostly elderly as you and I are and some unable to ride 2 wheels for health reasons as we also are. Bummer as it is we still have a blast. With that said I still want to try and ride the V Star from here to Florida but than what do I do about the kit??

I use car oil in all my bikes but not the V Star as it has a wet clutch

Just a quick kick to the Rabbit... Alley your full of carrot juice... I tell ya I always run 89 mid grade and when flying down the interstate I run just regular as I find at high speeds it just runs straight out and notice no power change. On that note I also run Seafoam every few tanks.

Yes about the V Star being a great ride. I only ride trike due to health issues. A ride on a trike is nothing like a bike ride but than it is not bad, what can I say I love scooters and motor cycles and now it's trike time in my life.

Yep been gone for a while. am in Oklahoma now and yes I drove the trike 75 and 80 all day long from Florida. What a nice machine... I do ride it as a cycle too, the kit was custom made in Florida and 4 bolts and she is off. I find the V Star 1100 is very well balanced and have put over 3,000 miles on her before the kit was made. I have no issues with the 3 wheels in the rear. When this rear tire wears I will put a car tire on the bike as I did on the Silver wing

Really it would be wise to go with a straight axle. If the tire are what came on it New they need to go...
