Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Now that is very interesting Arizona Outlaw ! I've had two different well known engine tuners in my neck of the woods, access my ECM through HP tuners. Neither could get past the "lock" and didn't try, and they both said labor and time wise, just buy a new ECM (about $250) and they would s...

Please understand that I am not bitchen here, and I know that Ricky & Co. is addressing this very issue, and I am so very greatfull for that. But I swear : I've been through at least 4- Reprogrammed ECUs now on my 2014 LS-485 57 trike! And on every one, it "seams to me", the program de...

Oops sorry Ricky, my bad ! I found the answer to my question under : "Some of the changes that top his priority list", in our latest BHC issue, page 30 top right !
Yay, and sorry Ricky to waste your time for redundancy !

Ricky, does or will, Boss Hoss Performance offer a LS-450/485 parts upgrade kit to go to the LS-525 ? I for one would be interested ! Thanks a million, Craig Haymaker

Another thought on a "trike tire", (on a conventional trike that is): When turning the front wheel at any speed, and the higher the speed = worse, the forward motion & weight in said turn, is literally attempting to "rip" the rubber off the rim ! So a trike specific tyre with...

You are exactly correct Pat, bias ply on the 16", not sure why Avon couldn't have made it as a radial to match our rear tires ? I'm now running g a Metezler ME888, and it appears to be wearing like steel ! But it is a very noisy rolling tire ! Some types of road surfaces and all tar snakes, cau...

This may be "old news" to some here, but I have just discovered it ! Avon is now making a "trike specific" front tire ! http://www.avonmoto.com/products/cruiser-touring-custom/cobra-trike I am assuming that the factory has been using these since they came out ! Anyone here have e...

Absolutely a GREAT write up Dennis, thanks for that wonderful news Sir ! Yes, it is truly exciting times for Boss Hoss and their compassionate followers. Craig H.

Hi GordonBH, no unfortunately they I won't be building these for sale. After designing the shape, I had the 4- piece pattern cut out by a water jet cutter @ $50. The chrome job on two pieces was another $50 !! Craig

image.jpeg Here is what I did. I had noticed a small paint crack on the back left side by the fender mount. I originally installed large chrome fender washers with matching fenders on the back side. Afterwards, I didn't care for that look and realized that I could increase my support surface area b...

And the great thing about these aftermarket HD style batwings, there are so many choices of windshield sizes and shapes ! (I am assuming they take a HD style shield, right Barry ?

Ya Barry, I see that I have a crack starting on rear bolt - left side. Is there anything I can do at this point to prevent it from traveling further ? Craig H.

Barry, here is another thought that Ricky may want to take up with his tuner, maybe BEFORE they start tweeting the LS ECM programming : The engine's inlet air duct tract is restricted by it's shape, plus the MAF (mass air flow p/n: AF10043) sensor has been "chopped down" on it's leaving ai...

You are totally correct Barry, You did move the steering Dampener to #13, my apologies & my bad. When you have the opportunity, ride a LS trike. Reiterating here, at highway speeds, these newer trikes ride equally as or better than any three wheeled vehicle on the market ! It's just the slower s...

Barry, first off PM sent. Can we please add these ideas for change: 1. I see that SQ4MN's idea #6 was left out, so I want to reinforce and add one of his suggestions. A Steering Dampener. They "are" needed, especially on a trike, I have tested and verified this and so has my dealer. 2. A &...

Gator, are you sure that there is no air in that circuit ?
If your trike is a couple years old, it's time for a flush with new fluid anyway. Craig H.
