I had the entire body off my trike last week. Used some Great Stuff to help stop rattles. Put it all back together yesterday. Took it out this mornining rattles just about all gone BUT... The headlights don't work. Turn signals work passing lights work but headlights don't.
Dumb ass me didn't check the lights before spending 3+ hours putting it back together. Only good thing is I didn't put the rear faring back on.
I think I'll cruise the internet, have lunch, take a long nap then walk the dogs. Tomorrow is another day.

Sounds like a plan. Love the plastic bodied scooters! Been there, done a buncha that. I started with the plastic bodies in 1985, with my Honda Elite 250. The joke was, even then, that to replace the headlight, the first thing you had to do was remove all the rear bodywork. ;D
I have to pull bodywork on the reverse trike sooner or later - I will try the Great Stuff. Mine rattles like marbles in a bucket...

Dumb ass me didn't check the lights before spending 3+ hours putting it back together. I have done that so many times ;D I have to take most of the front of my Mustang off to change the headlights as well. I've been working on cars for 25 years, I still forget stuff like that. All you can do is smile and be thankful for what you have. Your not the only brain dead mechanic out there. I was remembering an RX7 I bought for $100. It had a red shop rag in the intake. I pulled it out, put it together and sold it for $2500. My buddy drove it for years. |

Lights work I had the switch in the wrong position The switch in correct position for lights to work  I always thought the triangle was hazard light on. owners manual  So triangle means upper light button (full light) and little dot is the lower half light. The manual lists 3 positions the switch on my trike has 2. So maybe I put it back together and take a ride. The again maybe not since it keeps raining on and off. |
