Just got back from the PD for the vin inspection for a bonded title and the DMV to get it licensed for the street.

Thanks again to those here who had the parts I needed

Awesome, those, the left splash guard and the two rear fender side pieces are all I need :)

How much do you want for it? I looked in the classifieds (probably not hard enough) but did not see it. Got a link?

Went to the DMV, they gave me a couple papers, I had the PD do a VIN search and then filled out a another paper and paid my money.

The tank and triples were repainted, and the side covers had these decals when i bought them, I might trade them for a set of '85s or get new decals. as for the splash guard, I'll take it if you're not in a hurry to sell it, my wallet is a hurting unit after this project.

Took it out today, runs great, the only 2 problems it has (one may not even be a problem) is that it jumps hard when putting it in reverse or first, the other is that it has a hot starting issue.

Did you adjust your clutch yet? I have the same problem with the hot starting. Starts 1st kick when its cold. 10th when its warmed up.

Well, got the clutch adjusted, seem to have figured out the hot start issue (thanks Thorpe), so I took her out for a good hard shake down ride today. Other then the front suspension being pretty soft and bottoming a few times, and the gas cap not breathing properly (any tricks or tips on this), she ran like a champ.:Bounce:Bounce:Bounce:TrikesOwn My buddy took a ton of pics, but I can't post any:(

does that one have a diff on the axle?

No, I thought it did, but it looks like its a live axle and what I thought was a diff, is just a gear box.

so the rear wheels can turn independantly of each other, i was jus wondering coz ive ridden my 185s and 125m on the road and turning with a solid axle is bloody difficult. to turn easy you have to get on two wheels.

Sorry, solid axle, not live axle. It is bit tough to turn on asphalt.
