Sorry to hear about your medical issues and wish you a speedy and full recovery. I actually never heard of a do-it-yourself trike conversion for a 150cc, but just did a google search and this is the first thing that came up: www.tcscooters.com/trikes.htm Its $1,000, a bit higher than your budget. I will do some more research and post if I see something good. I wonder, though, if it makes sense to buy a good trike, like an icebear, maybe used. Best wishes, Mike

spandi - my thought exactly.

My Vog suspension also sucks on anything but smooth roads. My front shocks bottom out on everything, and I'm essentially riding on fully compressed springs on the rear as soon as I sit down. In fact, my highway use is limited not be speed but by knowing my roads - I don't consider it a safe ride on many of the "older" highways here.

I was thinking of picking up some better quality used adjustable motorcycle rear shocks on ebay.

This is a good augmentation but check the lumens before substituting one for the other. I was looking at these types of bulbs recently and what I found is that they put out around 300 lumens, whereas my 45w incandescents (which still aren't bright enough for me) put out about 840 each. There's a recent thread here about someone who put these in and I asked him the question of whether he was supplementing the lights or replacing them. i did not see a reply at the time.

How did I miss this post? I would have been right there with you. Hope you all have a great ride.

I always start with small things first. Sounds like you could be lean and will need to adjust the air/fuel mixture. When you start up the enricher is on so you don't have a problem. When the engine warms up the mixture leans out, and it might give you the problem. Easy place to start checking.
