Paul,
What happened to your Rune trike? That had to be a real conversation piece! Can you ride in the winter there? I've not been there but have heard it's quite cool in the winter.
God bless,

Hi srkeet,
I sold the Rune and it's helping to fund the conversation on the F6B. I'd had it for 8 years and it was time for a change. I did love the look of it, and it was a joy to ride. However all that beautiful chrome takes a lot of looking after, and as winter here is always a long and snowy affair the roads get plenty of salt, which loves to eat that same chrome. It got to the point that I where I didn't want to take it out, and that was a real shame. There are a few folk who will ride over the winter, but generally we don't ride between Nov/March. I'd love to live somewhere it was sunny most of the time, but that's not here....lol

Sounds like the roads could be pretty sloppy at times,,,
We all have our preferences, but was temperature/personal comfort also a reason not to ride? Lots more wind protection on the F6B
The roads are very dirty Scotrod, after a couple of years of lacklustre gritting the roads dept like to lay it on pretty thick around here. I live above the snow line "Yeah I know, not very smart for a wheelchair user" so we get snow when the city only nine miles away gets zip!
As for comfort and temperature, I did have an King Rune seat with a backrest, which was a real plus as my spinal injury is at T4 level, which is high chest and that means I have no core stability. I've bought a Cee Baileys 11" screen and the Utopia backrest, but to be honest I have no sensation below my injury, so I can't tell if it's gonna be comfortable as I can't feel it!

Torn down, to say the least!!! Is that your new final drive/rear diff in the lower RH corner of pic 1?
No Scotrod that one isn't mine. They have stripped down the bike in prep for mine to arrive, which is any day now. They are also looking at doing any other mods I have asked for such as HID and running lights, they need to crack on and get as much done as it's already a few weeks late.
