Wow.. was feeling prety good so went out and set the new throttle cable in the Magnum. Works fine just have to button a couple things down in the morning than will ride it out to coffee shop in Hudson for a little spin. Than will pull the rear deck and check things out and may do the Hub MOD if I can get the tight spacers and bolts

you can not miss the gear box, it is were the two axles meet in the rear, I showed you the extra box I had. There is a drain plug and a fill cap on the top, or just pump 7 oz of gear oil into the breather on top, no more or grease everywere.
Normaly there is T section for the plate, black plastic/vinyl with two slots and you attach the plate there, mine I attached to the rear of the rack

If it is what they say you should be able to put a battery on it and test start and ride it first. How many miles on it? Maybe worth the price may not like Al said that seat rear bar section looks pretty pulled could have more damage than appears

Trike kits are not cheap. I have been looking for some time for one affordable for my Honda. Hard for me to tell from the picture but if it is just cosmetic have them hook a battery to it and run it around a little

Your plate mounts under the break lights on the rear on the blaclk part. Turn your lights on and you will see the plate lightg. That is were my coolant over flow is on my Honds, follow the lines may be a Mod, trailer hitch?? some make there own.

You have the old style manifold on it so they tie a hose on second tit. I am surprized after all the treads you did not have it PDI by a dealer. You can adjust the seat cable from either end but I do it up front. Make very sure the coil wire seats on the plug good, if still no spark to plug or better yet check the wire connectors, all of them while your under the seat and make sure they are all locked in place. Remember you got it stright off the boat and no one has checked it since crated and it has been bounced and bumped and something may have come unpluged. Make sure the connector for the kill switch is plugged and locked in, located under seat forward right in a bundle of wires and connectors. Also make sure kill switch is in on position
Good luck with the Tornado and take yor time going over it, I guess it is red as that is I think what you wanted

Wow... You really need to replace them rollers, they do not cost much. They should have no flat spots on them and than she will run even better

Wow, that's a bummer can't change the fuel mixture... Tornado has a different rear grear box than mine but I wonder if the deck mounting has that web system on it like Ger has on his or if it is like mine meaning CRACKS... I know it has the cut out for the 4 mounting bolts on the rear cut out, thats cool I had to cut mine out for easy access. There is a blue Tornado in Hudson I have seen it a couple of times but never got to talk to the guy. I looked up under one once and saw the gear box had been changed but really couldn't see to much as the owner was not around and didn't want someone to think I ws gonna still it. I think you will like the trike, just work all the rattles out of it and go

Mine was just over 6 months when that happen, like I said IB always came thru for me. Jim I think you are right about FMS, but IB said if I needed any parts order thru you. They just said they were no longer in business. They did ask if I had a warranty issue and I said no and it was out of warranty and passed your number to me. Thanks for your help the other day I n a ride ustill have not taken a ride up to get that part yet but it is there
