smh
you buy a new 2 u scoot, and don't check a thing.
tire pressure, oil, rear gear oil, air filter, plug, etc.
I wont woulda coulda shoulda, but, i always change all the fluids, plug, filters, air pressure, whenever i buy a new/used anything.
but, lessons learned.

Nothing wrong with Jim's warehouse. It's his supplier that's still a little disorganized. And I wouldn't compare the idiots mind with that. His is totally scrambled. I in no way was implying the the Icebear warehouse (not Jims) was in disarray. I was only saying that this moron had lost his mind. I apologize for any misunderstanding on my part. Bad analogy |

Damn, and i thought I had issues.
I'd rather be missing a left leg instead of my brain.
What an idiot
Maybe his brain is in Jims warehouse

I know I'm chiming in late, but it's cause I'm old.
But, I got my 300cc Ice Bear Zodiac from Jim, and it's still running strong.
Gotta recommend it

Not sure what you goals are, but if you got a 150, and max out at 50mph, you ain't gonna be happy unless you get sumtin bigger. Mods will give you a little more mph, hopefully enuf to satisfy your need for speed.

billtrek davec Alleyoop cyborg richardv Speaking of chains. I found a chain lube made by AMSOIL. MPHD Heavy Duty Metal Protector. Unlike conventional chain lube that "flys" off the chain and can be messy, this stuff drys to a wax like film and does not attract dust. It displaces water which prevents rust and corrosion, It can be used for all kinds of metal squeaks and squawks. I use it and it works great. Jim Send me the info and i'll send ya a check for a bottle. 73 degrees in denver today. Life is good nevermind spray can found on line for $10 thanx And $9.00 for shipping screw them |

If you're going to ride any motorized vehicle on the road, it should be registered and insured, and the rider should have received formal 'motorcycle' safety training. (ie: Motorcycle ind)
And, I'm only alive today cause I was wearing a helmet.

Should have kept that VF750 engine. The bike was a mess but she still roared like a lion.  My Magna was a VF750. red line 10,000. It would haul arse. It was the one i was riding when i had the accident. But, this Maddog trike is the last thing I need, which is why I want one. |

I'd like to see more pics to do a comparison.
I do see the front fender sits closer to the wheel.
Rear fenders are a little different (squared off)
Still a mono shock
No trunk
Nicer mirrors
along with all that cyborg said

I read where someone took a headrest from a car, fabricated a bracket to go thru the seat and attach underneath. seemed to work.

I would say that that is a normal condition due to the rear wheels now being the front wheels and the front wheel now being pulled (vs pushed) and if it isn't exactly in line the front tire will be pulled from side to side.
(or something like that)
I never go fast or far enuf on mine to notice the flip flop.
My problem with reverse is it doesnt engage till the rpms are higher and jerks/rapid engagement at take off.
But, yea, sounds normal for the nature of a trike
