CX500 / Trident Police Trike Rebuild

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

The m/cylinder is a universal unit.. found on many small industrial vehicles... mostly fork lifts... at least that's what the fellows at Brake and Equipment told me. Been used for years.. readily available. Cheap.
My trike has the Cj rear end with the golf cart brake shoe system.. blew a wheel cylinder a couple weeks back... the fellows were able to rebuild it. I ride mine.. cruises at 55.. with steam left in the kettle.... but like a sidecar.. trikes have " rules " and curves are in the rule book.
In the stable.. 1929 Motobecane (under restoration), 1950 & 1952 Terrot (Paris police) 1952 Peugeot (French M/Police, Algeria veteran), 1952 Alcyon (Airport Fire-rescue), 1965 Triumph 650 Tiger, 1966 "TRITON", featherbed framed, w/73' 750 Triumph engine, 1968 Honda Cb450 Police, 1970 Ducati 450 Jupiter, 1970 Ducati 350 (street racer), 1971 M/Guzzi Ambassador, 1970 Yamaha 650 Xs1, 1982 Yamaha 650, 1982 Cx500P, trike (Ex Chicago PD), 1997 Honda Helix, 2010 Royal Enfield w/sidecar...1962 Cushman Eagle, 65' Mustang, base coupe, 04' Mustang convertible ..one understanding wife. :)

Just wondering how the Raesan ignition worked out and how many miles you have on it.

The Raesan ignition has worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it. I have about 4000 miles on it so far.
