The red bike could not move, no clutch. I bought jap screwdrivers but then I totally buggered up those screws and bought both an easy out and replacement screws as advised on the tech board

Stan (it was his bike before I bought it last July) came over this afternoon, showed me the correct way to  bleed a clutch and drilled out the screws at the top of the reservoir cover. The reservoir was "almost" empty and to our surprise there was no air in system.   After adding fresh dot 4 it runs great now  Used antisieze on the replacement screws and will look online for chrome allen ones could not find any at any auto parts stores

He also fixed that latch so my stock seat can stay in place ( I am too tall for that Ultimate solo seat and should sell it one day)

Then he put back that snazzy alternator cover and rode home on that great Goldwing trike he bought to replace the interstate

I took a short test ride and all is well in Ossining

 Cheesy Cheesy

Yeah it came with one of those. Stan is good for his word. My fault for not realizing he hardly ever comes on this board anymore. Next time I will text him, if there is a next time   angel

Was surprised that Bonnie liked sitting on the back of the wing trike as she was not crazy about the 06 that we rented up in Alaska

Good to know that when the time comes I fit on a 13 or newer wing and that the highway pegs are not too bad.

May need to put up a shed for 3 bikes and a trike one day

FYI, I bought the identical screws, but in stainless steel, at Ace Hardware and polished the tops.  Cheap replacements.
