Yesterday for the second time I took off the nose of the magnum. I did a no no. I broke the plastic nipple almost off. I used some JB Weld to fix it. I'll let you know if it held after I put the trike back together. Yes it is apart again. The whole right side including the headlight is off. I think it started with trying to run a line for the tach. Jim's post on nose removal. scootdawg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=threewheelers&action=display&thread=34402I blame him since he didn't write be very very very gentle. "carefully move the screwdriver" in my book isn't the same as "be very very very gentle" ;D |

Ger....You ever get to ride that thing??? Did you get it aligned? What did you find loose in the front end, or was it the tire?

I did get the rear end done. Have not found anything loose in the front end. When I button it back up (Sat) I think I'll just replace the front tire.
I doubt I'll ever ride it for as many hours as I've worked on it but I am having fun.
Next I'm looking at a rear rack in place of the trunk that come with it. A rack would give me more versatility. Just need to find a shop that will do some fabricating.

I should have been more clear that's what I'm planning to do. i'll just need the supports fabricated. I guess all I have to do is find someone who can weld. |

shouldn't be to hard to find someone that welds there are a tone of motorcyles and scoots in Florida. The motorcyle shops know how to weld and fabricate really good.

I got a rack that has sides and rear rail so to help holds luggage, Lee has a little larger rack that is with no rails and is a little larger than mine. Sure comes in h.andy I can tell you that, I use mine almost daily. Most ATV Shops will have a selection and you just hold it over the rear deck and see which one you like. I think I paid $40 for mine and $8l0 for the brackets and durn.

"carefully move the screwdriver" in my book isn't the same as "be very very very gentle" ;D Edited post to include "Using a large flat bladed screwdriver, place it between the plastic nipple and the rubber grommet and carefully move the screwdriver back and forth to move the nipple out of the grommet. (edit 11/18/2011) Be very very very very gentle as not to break the plastic. Read more: scootdawg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=threewheelers&thread=34402&page=1#ixzz1e4PfDMrf" Jim |

GER: Wife and I are going on a little R&R but I'll be back in about a week. If you get "screw you" quotes on the rack let me know and I'll put one together for you. I'll have to hunt up a used rack. Might take some time though ok? vr, Lee
