The ride was nice, heat not too bad, I can live with it, but with all you guys making it easier for us not to have to...I will do some hard studying for winter mods. I think I'm going to go with the Fuel Moto header, PC-V, and performance exhaust...my real concern is power.
While on the ride yesterday I was very disappointed with the power of the TG...on the 2 lanes she didn't do too bad, on the interstate she fell on her face HARD!...sometimes WOT and not much more than 65/70 MPH on a slight grade..not a large hill..WOW...pretty bad. The past two trikes I've owned were Honda GL1800 Gold wings and they had enough power...
OK, OK don't get in a tizzy, I love the TG, no I don't want another wing, no I don't expect the same power of the flat six on my TG...but it sure needs something. So my question is, will the Woods cam wake it up? not stump pulling power but a little more for two up riding, able to maintain a reasonable speed on the interstate pulling a grade...and we'll be pulling a Bushtec trailer...I can't get anything done before our trip, looking for this winter modifications.

I was fairly happy with the overall performance of my trike. It lacked a little power in strong head winds going up hills in 6th gear. All in all it performed well.
