Too bad it is so dirty...

Here are the photos of the mounting points for the body.

Four on the bottom of the trunk, under the liner-






Two more against the front wall of the trunk-







One on either side of the Trike, under each side cover-










Photos from different angles coming soon.

Pics of the Tri-Glide from different angles with the body off.

Couple shots of the reverse motor-








Various angles-





























Photo's of removing the axles, replacing the bearings, and a few other things we discovered in the process....all coming soon.


After all that is done I'll be mounting the video camera and going for a ride. Video should be fun/interesting!

Kevin, thanks for the pics. Looks like your Pro Action rear shocks on there, right? If so, I assume the top red collar is the one you do the preset on and we do any fine tuning at the bottom?
thanks

Yes, I have the Convertible Comfort Lift™ for 14" shocks installed. It is the first one we made, not even powder coated, plus the nut is not welded to it.

Yes, those are the DK/PA Trike Series Shocks (14"). The collars are now black instead of red, but you are correct, the top one can be turned to adjust pre-load, and then the clickers on the bottom are for dialing in the preferred ride. The clickers adjust compression and rebound damping.
