I had my Cushman 3-wheeler insured with Pacific Specialties. My Allstate broker turned me on to them.

> Liability insurance for my 1987 Cushman costs me $96 / year with Farm Bureau, but they won't cover it for collision or comprehensive (not that I want it anyway). All of my home, property, and vehicles are also insured by them. It took me 10 minutes and a picture of the Cushman to get it.

> I had trouble getting progressive to insure my GO-4 interceptor even though my auto policy was with them. I called them on the phone and after a 20 minute discussion and being on hold they wouldn't cover it, mainly because it's a trike and they aren't familiar with them. I got on the internet and went to all the sites including geico and was able to get quotes. Then I went back to progressives site and applied and was accepted and given a policy within 20 minutes. The trick is, apply online, don't talk to a human. Say it is a motorcycle but don't mention it's a 3 wheeler. If they don't have cushman down as a make put "other american model"(progressive had this box to check). You should be insured and have a card printed within 30 minutes. My insurance cost me $12 a month.

> I have been considering a Honda 1000cc Gold Wing motorcycle engine (78 hp), but I haven't found one at the right price and in running condition (rebuildable) from a wrecked Gold Wing, and it will take a bunch of work and specially made machine shop parts to get it installed. As best as I can tell, it will easily fit in my 1987 Truckster and provide awsome horsepower for it's size, but because of the expected installation difficulty, so I haven't been looking very hard for one.
>
> Harbor Freight sells a 22 hp overhead valve V twin Predator engine for about $600, but it too will require a lot of work to install. I think the Cushman engine mounts will need to be lowered about 2" too, and although it's a new engine and newer technology, it's still only 22 hp. I think if I'm going to go to all of the trouble to install a different engine, I'm going to want better performance.
>
> I hadn't thought about a Geo engine. I'll have to look into it. The height of the motor space in the Cushman seems to be the most critical problem. It's tough to be comfortable while sitting on a valve cover or spark plug.
>
> So far I keep repairing the 22 hp OMC engine that's in it, using parts from 2 other OMC 22 hp engines that I have, but I'm running out of the parts that seem to be going bad. My best upgrade for it so far has been the installation of an electric fuel pump, and removal of the mechanical fuel pump and bypass filter. It will now almost always start in the first revolution with very little choke, if a cold start.
