    Madstad reminder on new "Lowers"

    On my way back Tuesday from a partial ride with @DevilsFan Dan and @MTVIC Mike, I stopped by MadStad and spoke with the owner (Mark) about the lowers. Not only will they continue with the existing fairing version, they have just developed one for the naked models as well. He was hoping to have...

    Thinga-ma-Bob II, a CTX700 trike conversion using a Yelvington Designs CTX kit

    Agreed! I had to have that ability which is why I didn't opt for the Graber Ent. fixed design. I also liked that the end of the arms adjust up/down so my wife's white knuckles can be as comfortable as possible. Those features are what forced me to shop in China to get what I wanted. I...

    Thinga-ma-Bob II, a CTX700 trike conversion using a Yelvington Designs CTX kit

    Couldn't find any sources in the USA, so I got them from China as rather expensive "samples" (really expensive because of air mail costs). Would have been even more expensive if I ordered their minimum quantity (200 pieces)! These are "industrial" in that their intended use is for tractors...

    Thinga-ma-Bob II, a CTX700 trike conversion using a Yelvington Designs CTX kit

    I and a number of others have wanted to farkle our C's to fill the roll of something like a downsized (i.e., budget) Goldwing. From my point of view I was able to come close to that what with my Madstad shield & lowers, hand guards, HD low profile tour trunk, two sets of kury floorboards, not...

    Front fender extender - carbon fiber

    Will, I'm in Florida and I bought one of these from England and very carefully installed in on my OEM fender. From what I could see, that "school of thought" gets an "F" from me absent any wind tunnel testing proof or information from reliable sources that it actually happened to them. I...

    Unlikely Mod?

    Attention Trikers What may only be of interest to a handful of you, I've finally come up with what should be a good setup for a rear bumper for my trike. Today I will get a shipment of components from a hand & foot rail suppler. There will be two 6" chrome bar foot rail brackets, 1 chrome...

    Got to race a Harley today.

    Not KTM I think that's one of those internet "facts" making the rounds that sounds good, but has no basis. Google produced the following published filings: The institutions cited above are more than 30% ownership and make up the top of the list -- no mention of KTM anywhere. :)

    MadStad Lowers

    Now as bad as it is for us, if what you owned was a "big twin" each of those bills would need to be a $20, but if yours was a boat, then each bill would have to be a $100!! :D

    New Member introducing

    Welcome Stephan! Since a lot of CTX'ers are old like me (being 73), it would help us for you to put a somewhat precise location in your profile. In your case city & country is more than enough. Doing so might also get you connected with other CTX'ers physically close to you. Enjoy!

    Photobucket embedding work-around

    Ah, yes. In my book of geek proverbs says in 1st Bob 1:14 that "What one person sets up, another can rend asunder"

    Your favorite drink?

    Forget about the corkscrew!! Never liked the taste of alcohol or that all it does for me is put me to sleep quick as a wink. My wife on the other hand is a different story. A second glass of wine is most often a miracle elixer that makes me look so very enticing and worthy of "exploration!"...

    Thanks, that helped a lot and I made several changes based upon your information!! My prototype should be ready next week some time.;)

    Measurements needed

    Yes, today will be fine and this morning preferred (I'm meeting with my vendor at 11:00am). I was in a hurry last night and failed to explain that although I have the Matazu, I threw the pad out long ago in favor of the one I built. I need the OEM done as well since I don't know how close a...

    Measurements needed

    I'm needing the three measurements (A, B, & C shown below) for both Matazu and the Honda OEM version. TIA!

    Thinga-ma-Bob II, a CTX700 trike conversion using a Yelvington Designs CTX kit

    Trinity Trike was always in it's own niche. I had more than a few tell me we couldn't do stuff, and even though The Trinity Trike eventually closed down, we did stuff after all (in fact about 100 times). Many of those trikes were inexpensive 250cc Chinese clones, including automatic CVT's from...

    Thinga-ma-Bob II, a CTX700 trike conversion using a Yelvington Designs CTX kit

    History and background discussion "catch up": At age 73, I think that I have finally passed the point where my oft cited claim that "most people my age are dead already" is no longer a joke! But in any case, I'm glad to be signing on here to move over some of the narrative on my now finished...

    Have you altered your bike's appearance to make it look more girly?

    Well, if he is ever hassled by some nitwit PC Snowflake he can use one of my retorts by telling them he is a "cross dressing, trans-gendered lesbian!! :confused::rolleyes::) ).
