When I raised the rear section I had to cut the black under the plate so that I can slide the deck under it and it would not hit the black when hitting bumps

Ger... it is a pitta but only the 4 bolts in the cut out on the rear deck than the side bracket mounts, I think you have 4 of them I only have 2 on mine and the wheels off and pull her up and back. Al, it is nothing like your 150, wish it was would make things much easer

It sure is a bear to get the rear off the Magnum. Once you get a rack on that thing it sure is gonna look good. The rack look like they belong on the Magnum, makes the rear look soo much better than all that plastic. I will get some pictures posted here soon so you can get an idea what my Silver Bullet looks like now

Lee like you have I have one more chain, I may use it befor I get the new cycle one but not sure may get the new one for next time. As I have said I am going to just use the Magnum for car shows and around town only local no trips or over 50 mph. Just too much work if you run it on trips and high speeds, that rear trike section is a trip of it's own

Change when you need too. I think Lee is still running the same one. You may be OK

Tighten up the chain is a pain in the arse... I have one more chain left than am going to a motor cycle chain as that is noting but chain saw driver there... you can get a 10 ft section for nothingf at the farm store, that is what Lee and I did. They are great for streching..... I had some heave duty adjusters made for my rear adjustors, if these wobble out of round something is wrong.

No the trike is fine, just had to get the fuel to the carb after setting while I was on a trip. That trike is a lot of fun now that I have had a few parts made and replace all the Chino bolts and bearings and motor mounts on the rear and I just can not remember alll the things... I now just run it around town and never over 55 MPH and I ahave no problems at all with it. I will be moding the wheel hubs soon and than it will handle higher speeds and less viberations requiring less adjustments and repairs. It is just the trike section that has give me trouble, which includes chain, but I have almost got all redone and will complete later

Had a cold front here today only 74 but I took a all day trip on the scoot.....Eat that you silly cold blooded rabbit.
Ger...Yes, the 4 bolts on the back deck were the holes is ABS are nand take out the ABS side bolts and it will lift up to slide spacer under. I used solid PVC decking as a spacer...

Did a little traveling and got colder than I ever been in the past 12 years. Got home and in the morning started the Honda Reflex which was hard to get going. The Magnum started after the 6th try and a few hit on the gas, NICE. I took the air filter cover off the Honda and found no filter in it. This is how a local shop here in Florida returned my scooter after it was serviced. I remember when I got it was idled at 1,800rpms so I cut it back to 1,450rpms, I did not think to check the filter as I was told it had been checked and was ok. Now that is 2 shops here in this area that has done me bad. I will never use them again or get parts from them, in the long term they will loose.
Been 77-82 here since I got back and have been riding daily...Gotta love Florida for scooten
