MC D150TKA Tips and Fixes

[markt40]

After a real good look at my trike I found some issues that if left as is would lead to problems later on so I would like to share with you the problems and my fixes.

First problem was the front fender brackets were touching the wheels. I pulled the fenders and drilled a new hole in the back fender mount as close to the edge as possible then reinstalled it. You have to install the front screw then stretch the back to line up the hole but now there is a half inch clearance. The picture below shows the new hole.
"Anybody know how to add more than on picture in a post?"

If anybody else has found potential problems, fixes and or have any tips for the reverse trike please feel free to add them here.

This picture is the clearance between the tire and mount after the fix. Sorry I didn't take one before the fix but trust me it was rubbing.

The next problem I found was the kick stand when up was rubbing against the exhaust pipe. This could eventually rub through the pipe. I used a file to file the kickstand tab down then touched it up with some black paint. Picture below is before I filed it down.

Another quick tip. To easily open your seat press down on the back of the seat with one hand then turn the ignition key to the left (counter clockwise). This removes the pressure from the latches which lets them release easily.
