Well as part of getting the Champagne Spyder ready for the trip from AZ to WA I did some more servicing.
I found the short hose leaving the filter that connects to the plastic Y was starting to fail. I suggest you have one or a few additional Oetiker hose clamp for the fuel lines. Filter came with 2 and I needed a third one.
I bought these champs for the rad hose. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013WZF9XW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
and this tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXCZDJ55?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details which I did some grinding on the shape od the jaws better work with these small hose clamps.
The fuel filter is pissy to change and the anti-freeze just time consuming and working under the trike. Like the YT I watched I removed the plastic belly piece on the right side. And took the Tupperware down the the headlight surround, to give better access to the anti-freeze expansion tank.
I used a Dremel cut-off wheel to cut the raised clamp area to remove the old champs.
