Yes, our first wave of production was gone in less than 24 hours after release!

The air flowing over the tank is reduced by a tank lift, but there is still some there. The air flowing over the tank is further reduced by the CDW, And around the tank is also reduced by the CDW. Importantly, that air is now used to create a strong stream of air directly onto the engine for better cooling.

We're very happy with how well it functions.

 

A couple of weeks ago we installed some eval slip-on...Hi Rollers from Fuel Moto.

I've been riding for the last couple of weeks with them.




They look really good, have gotten some nice comments on them.

They are Super Deep & Mellow. Almost everyone has asked me about them. They sound a lot like CFR's.

Standing behind the Trike they sound really good at an idle AND when blipping the throttle. While riding on the bike, they are a bit quiet for me, but Mary really likes them.

As is typical with Slip-ons, I lost a good amount of my low & mid range torque, also lost about 3 mpg in non-interstate riding.

A few days ago I removed about 6" of the fiberglass matting, and that got me just a bit louder, and I installed some W158 Thunder Torque Inserts. Thankfully, the TTI's got all my low & mid range power back, and my MPG went back up also!

So it looks like these are the slip-ons I am going to be running for awhile.


I will try and get a video clip on on the sound in the next few days.



I added a Power Port in the Tour-Pak a while ago...just realized I had not posted a pic of it.

Picked it up at Wally-World, and wired it directly to the battery, with an inline fuse. That way I can use it, even if the ignition is not on.

The reason I put it up high is so that when we're on a trip and the Tour-Pak is full, I can easily plug in whatever I need charged without digging thru a bunch of stuff. It has worked out really well in that location. At times I've had two phones and two camera batteries charging at the same time.




More to come soon!

 

Did you try using the optional tuning inserts Fulemoto designed the slip on's around, to see if you could tailor the torque and sound?

 

Yes, they are similar in design to what Rinehart slip-ons used. They are better than nothing, but do not work nearly as well as the TTI's.

The inserts that came with them bumped the low & mid range torque a tad, knocked some power off the top end, and were a bit quieter. By design they increase backpressure, fighting against the engine, but still allow almost as much reversion as without them.

 

Here is a video of the new muffs I'm running.

The first part of the clip is stock, the second is with the 6" of batting removed.

Most folks will probably like the stock sound, I just wanted something with some more bite to the exhaust note.


The first runs down the road are stock, the second batch of runs down the road are with 6" of batting removed.

These are some good looking slip-ons, and with the TTI's in them they produce good power, the sound is easily adjustable, although most will probably like them with all the batting in them.

I'm planning on running them the next 10k miles, at least.

Oh, and the tips will rotate 180*, letting you have a slash up or slash down look.

 

Just installed some Custom Billet Aluminum Floorboards. They have a brass plate in the center that will have some custom engraving in them.

We took the brass plates into a local engraver last Thursday. He said he would have them done for us by Saturday. Today he still did not have them done.
So I just installed them blank for now.

While we are on the road we will find an engraver and get them done.

They are rubber mounted, comfortable, and I'm liking how they turned out.

Will get some better pictures, outside, in the next day or so...big thunderstorm going on right now.

 

We are on the road, but I found an engraver and they did a little engraving in the brass for me.

Not what I would like in the end, but I just have these prototypes on for testing during our trip.

I already have some ideas on improvements.

 

Those look great Kevin. My only concern with the design is that you can see scuffing in the short time they've been on the floorboards.

 

Pretty and functional doesn't always co-exist. Give me a nice chunk of rubber to hide the wear and keep my wet rain soaked boot from slipping around.
