Hi Richard, i have just received the paperwork (VAT 410) for my 3 wheeler from Krazy Horse.
I should have it soon!!!
I have over the last few years made a list and bought spares and the like to make upgrades to my 3 wheeler.
...Gun sight, spring loaded for the front. I thought about fitting a Vaseline glass Victoire mascot, but the thought of it breaking off at speed terrifies me.
.... Congrats John... I was tempted by those gunsights on Ebay so will keep an eye out for your experiences adding that! I was also wondering about a cowl-mounted gauge eg oil temp or head temp. Some classic cars had a water temp gauge on top of the radiator, but of course we don't need to measure water temp

1: check/replace (?) the cambelt
2: check rear brake and also adjust so handbrake works
3. fiddle again and change the oil cooling system I have
4. already did fuel pump
5. probably need rear tire
6. rear mud guard
and then there is the 1976 Honda GL1000 I have been restoring that wants to jump out of gear
and lest I forget, the 1978 (I am the original owner) Honda GL1000 that is totally apart, needs painting, and then back together.

I sold my Norton Commando after Mog made it clear that my garage wasn’t big enough for the both of them, especially after getting the Eazylift and the engine hoist etc.

When you have the back wheel out for the tyre change it would be a good thing to replace the cheap and nasty wheel bearings fitted as standard with some better quality items such as SKF Explorer 6205-2RSH. It's an easy job to tap the old ones out with a hammer and a drift and then tap the new ones in.

Good idea. Changing bearings is a fairly straight forward job.

Just shy of 10,000.... my Harley is jealous I have a little over 7000 on mine now. Just picked up a set of rollers from Linda at Morgan Spares to keep on the shelf. Recently replaced the pinion seal on the bevel box as it was leaking.
