      The air ride on the G/W had leaks in the 90 degree fittings. After same research and head bangin and help from the parts guy at my local Honda dlr found the needed parts. And a bit of sticker shock!  Lips Sealed Simple 90 degree fitting 3/8 N P T to 1/8" plastic aitline. $7.76 ea X 2 and + tax out the door $16.83! BUT I'll be able to fix the air ride and that Should straighten out my suspension issues. Then I can sort out starter button issues. Then I just Might be able to start building back RIDE STAMINA!  cooldude Sides hopin it ain't delusions of grandeur But I'd really like to RIDE to Inzane!   smitten I KNOW I Truly Miss the Wind. I'll try to keep y'all updated.  Wink RIDE SAFE.

Good luck with the upgrades! Are you going to take John's advice and throw a rake on?

      Yuppers I am! Figure da prez and I will install it before Inzane at his shop. The G/W IS a handful on the handlin side. I've test ridden trikes and side hacks BUT this Is the First time in my life where 3 wheels Will become the NORM for me! Far Too many yeard of physical abuse to the ol frame! What is it us old farts say? If I'd a KNOWED I was gonna live this long I'd of taken better care of myself!  2funny And I'll start sortin that startin issue I have on the G/W. Sorta certain the issue is with the satrt button itself! But THAT'T 2moro! RIDE SAFE.

      Found a 6 degree tree on Amazon for right at $500.00 and seen em up near $900.00! I KNOW you do NOT wanna cheap out on a tree but I've not ordered yet. Anywho that's where it's stading at this point in time. RIDE SAFE.
