They changed the rear brakes on the '10s???
BOOM; we share the same “urk”; there are a couple stop light in town that are on top of a hill and I have to stand on the rear brake to prevent the TG from rolling backwards downhill.

Lets see if you folks can guess the two word phrase the H-D dealer used when I complained about the problem…
Here’ a hint: "T_ _ _ _’_ N_ _ _ _ _ _"!

I was on the freeway doing 75 behind 5 cars last week when a dog jumped out in front of traffic stopping traffic. We all had to lock up. After calming down I realized that we slid straight and true, the brakes worked perfect, and the way this trike handled was great.

That wouldn't "THAT'S NORMAL" would it?

I can lock up the rears....I do it once in awhile cause I get sick of hearing them squeal and it helps for a little while...it takes a lot of pressure to do it though.

Buch; you win! How on earth did you ever guess?

Wouldn’t you just love to bounce a check or stop payment to the local Harley dealer and when they call to complain tell them…
THAT’s NORMAL!

Don't hold your breath but every once-in-a-while I get it right. The teachers are still scratching their heads.

Ya, you'd think they would have invented a new phrase by now.

THEJIMER!! Yesterday and this morning I've been using the Rejex & Adam's Detailler on the trike the last couple of day's, infact I had get out and ride this afternoon before we loss the sunsine and 50* temp. Tomorrow it's suppose to cloud over. I was hopping the Rejex would get rid of the finger imprints in the soft paint on the trunk door, but it didn't so I'll have to get some fine rubbing compound and work that area I guess. I think the Rejex & Adam's will be the perfect combo for this wet area. Thank You I like it
Butch

It's as bad as the phrase "the check is in the mail".
