The location of the oil filter and oil circulation issues was the main reason i didn't buy a VStar, and a Honda Shadow Sabre instead. But, other than that, a nice bike. Enjoy

Trike rus great I did name her NellyBelle well she no longer is with me wife been taking her for rides. She told me nellybelle is no more it's LadyBug now she said I need a trike? Well just ordered a white Zodiac order it with PDI so it will take a little longer to get. By the time it shows up I will have gotten my License and when it shows up it will need gas and go yes mirrors need to be installed. I guess this family is a his & Hers now.   Congratulations. Nothing better than a 2 Zodiac family |

there hasn't been one time that I've gone for a ride, around town or cross country, I haven't used something I learned from taking the course.

Ground clearance: 2.75 My Zodiac has a ground clearance of 3.7, so, yea, an inch lower. Might clear a 2x4 laying in the road. but still looks like fun. Yes, not everyones cup a tea, but as I'm a special needs child, it works for me. Just not sure I need a 300cc trike, a Goldwing w/sidecar, and this. i58.tinypic.com/ridk09.jpg |

www.megamotormadness.com/product/tri027-150cc-trikeI saw on another site, that the Maddog trike is available I think it really looks kinda kool. I do wish it had a 250 vs a 150, but, it is what it is. I'm not endorsing the other site, just using it for a point of reference. Discussion..........

Agreed with a full face modular flip up face.
But not too snug. If too much pressure on the temples, you'll get a heck of a headache.
Who cares about what you look like, safety first.
I witnessed a guy drop his Triumph Rocket at a stop light, standing dtill.
His head hit the pavement hard, had to take him away in an ambulance.
I wear a modular on my trike. Even a slow speed accident can be dangerous.
I'm alive today cause I was wearing a helmet when I got hit by a GMC Jimmy.
Lost my leg, but not my life, thanx to my helmet.

Get a 12 guage wire and run it straight from the battery to the plug. Hit the starter and tap the wire to the battery. If it tries to start then you know that you have a bad something between those two points. NEVER EVER EVER LET A MACHINE BEAT YOU. At first I read "12 gauge shotgun..." Seemed appropriate |

OK, so not as many as some, around 2000.
but starts strong every time
i keep the oil changed and battery charged
my main issues were the exhaust collar breaking and a body panel tab broke.
And, the trunk popped off on a rough road and got scratched. So screwed it permanently to the mounting bracket
But I like it
