I went on a short 100 mile trip today and had a offer to buy it and said maybe in about 70,000 miles. Fuel mileage increased by 5 miles per gallon to almost 36 mpg. I'm very excited about that.

It's amazing what a little more air flow will do for your trike. I don't know if Honda makes accessories for combining or cutting hay, maybe Show Chrome does.
Already did. I took the screen on the back of the old filter, cut it in half and zip-tied each half to the front of both intakes and it fit like a glove.
I did investigate the mufflers and didn't see anything and I'm pretty sure they are clear, may have cleared on the first startup, as it sounds good and doesn't have any peculiar sounds. Also, if there was an obstruction in the mufflers I don't think I would be getting anywhere near 36 MPG on a trike. I had a muffler collapse on a car one time and it made a horrible hissing sound and mileage went way down so I believe we are good on the mufflers. Thanks for the idea though.
I own an old BMW Airhead that was stored for years in a musty and sometimes wet basement by the previous owner.
The P.O. put dryer sheets under the seat, he swore it kept the mice out.
The air filter was moldy, but no mouse nest.
Here's a shot of the filter from a Valkyrie I picked up a while back.
It runs better now...
I don't have the luxury of inside storage for my Wing. It sleeps covered in the driveway through our winter months. My buddy up the street stores his VTX in his backyard shed. Guess which one of us has mice nest in the filter every year ? Guess which one of us has never had a mice nest ? Hmmmmmm........
