Snowbird enjoying riding in Arizona

[joebedford]

Hello everyone. My wife and I have been enjoying great riding this winter around Mesa AZ. We're headed to Texas Hill Country for more riding in a week.

I ride a 2002 TC88 FLHTCUI and she rides a 1996/2007 EVO 80 FLHTCUI/DFT Trike. I bought the EVO new in '96. It has about 275000km (165K miles) on it.

Unfortunately, the trike started making an 'expensive sounding' noise a week or so ago. We took it to World Famous Mike's in Queen Creek and they discovered that the crank is bent. The runout on the right side is .014" which is several times what's allowed. We're looking at rebuilding or replacing the engine.

I'm trying to rig a sissy bar for my Ultra - I took the tourpak off before we headed out on our winter trip. Wife won't ride passenger if there's no backstop. No standard bar fits because it's set up for tourpak only. Ideas?
