Welcome to 3 wheels
just so you know!
to start in gear, you have to apply the clutch AND front or rear brake. brake doesn't have to be applied all the way, just enough for the brake light to come on. on mine, anyway. seems to be a sore spot for some riders.

Congratulations. I love 'our' trike except for the fact that my wife has taken it over and its become 'her' trike. About the only time I get to ride it now is whenever we double up. Get some stares & comments when, if for some reason (usually alcohol), she's driving and the fat guy is riding on the back, lol.

Welcome!

Look into DK's lift kit.
I drug my pipes within a week of purchase, made my skin crawl. Rides better too.
Set your rear tire pressure to 25 psi and adjust from there.
Set your shocks to 30 psi and adjust from there.
If you add SIRIUS radio, consider mounting the antenna as in the pic for better reception.
