Please post more of any mods you have done. Looks a bit different than their web page. I had thought about getting a kit from them and cutting all the Burgman 400 mounts off and weld in Burgman 650 hangers. I just happen to have a 2003 Burgman 650 all apart in the garage without any tupperware to put it back together. I used all the tupperware on a wrecked 2008 650 and wrecked it 6 months later. I now have another 650 that I have put 49,000 miles on in 3 years. I would need to inclose it just a bit more for our weather up here in the Great North Wet. All things Burgman go to www.BurgmanUSA.com or www.Burgmanriders.com |

NICE!Ed, you have MY trike.  My plans for a ECO EXO was to copy the Lotus 7 look and some nice side bags in a SCREAMING YELLOW color. And upgrade modify to a Burgman650 of course. I do like the Mod's you and Roger have done to your ECO EXO's. I am still looking for a failed build or damaged one for my 650 mod.

Well the big day arrived. I got my parts in today after wiring in the emergency jump/charger cable. I installed the new fuel pump and adjusted the float so the gas gauge read correctly. I ran the pump a few times to clean out any bad fuel at the line that connects to the throttle body. I connected the line to the throttle body and tightened the Allen bolts. I purged the coolant line of any air bubbles and filled the overflow tank halfway up. So here we go.

How did the first ride go? First real ride is a great thrill. Congrats!
Where in WI are you. We need to get together. I'm suggesting a Wisconsin Reverse trike gathering. There are two of us near Janesville and with you it's three. Two's company, three's a party. Party time?

Thanks guys
I am in Oshkosh. I used to live in Janesville about 25 years ago. I had a great time there. I will definitely get down there this year.
I am still waiting for my custom front shocks but sending the paperwork for the VIN number tomorrow.
I also just got the Dynojet Power commander working on my 2005 Burgman engine. The harness was wrong and the wiring was also wrong but I got that all straightened out and everything is running smooth.
It is 99% done now so after the oil change and rear end gear oil change I should be ready to go.

The trike passed inspection today. No defects could be found. He thought it was one of the best he has ever seen in the six years he was doing this full time. That felt pretty good coming from someone that is strictly by the book.

Congratulations !!
Now we need to start planning “The First Annual Wisconsin Reverse Trike Meet”. How about we find a park in Beaver Dam. That’s about half way between us.

Thanks Jim & Tinhorn
I should have my plates in a few days and start the road testing and tweaking the suspension before doing any trips.
But Beaver Dam sounds good to me.
Tinhorn the steering rack and column is off a Fiat 500.

The Eco Exo R at this time is fully insured and road worthy with registration, plates and title! Yahoo
This is going to be a great fourth of July for me.
