Had problems sleeping, so attacked the brass brake cylinder cap, with etchant. Think I may be taking this naming thing too far  |

Acid etching. Dave called at Loony's workshop this morning. Loony reports that cap as "amazing".

Do you print something then stick on and the exposed is etched away?

More or less. Dave's using "Letraset" lettering -a rub down transfer. Used to be common in technical drawing offices, but getting hard to find now.

Just weighed the trike and was rather surprised. 285 kg (628lbs) with all fluids except fuel. This may seem a lot but it's lighter than all Harleys except the Sportsters and lighter than I was expecting. Thought I must have got it wrong, so did it again with different scales, nope, 97kg front and 94 kg each rear wheel.
The pickup rear seems to make it look heavier than it really is.

Thank you folks. Replaced the rear gearbox seal this morning. Should have done it while doing the axle seals . With everything bolted down the prop wouldn't come out. Just fractionally too long to clear the flange centre nuts, so had to drop the gearbox a tad. With the prop apart I ground down the end of the male splined section (only 1mm) and now it fits in a treat. Think the trike is now finished, well sort of, so sending off the MSVA application today. |

Woo hoo!
Good luck on the paper trail Dave. Having just completed the registration of my truck, I know how daunting it can seem, but must admit, looking back, it wasn't that complicated at all really. Honest.
