    Default Headlight Adjustment

    Hello I have a 2015 Wing with HTS kit installed

    After conversion, my low beam headlights shine almost straight down. I used the factory adjuster and maxed out the height adjustment. Still shines way low. With the adjuster maxed out at 10, the HIGH beams shine about where the low beams should be. My installer used a 6 degree rake kit and says he installed 2" fork extensions to maintain a level ride. My trike sits lower in the front than the stock bike. This can be felt by my seat position. Feels as if I'm leaning way forward. What can be adjusted to give me the correct headlight projection and how do I raise the ride height in the front ?

    Thank You BTW Love the Roadsmith

    I put progressive springs in front. That helped a little, but front was still low! So I made an 11/4 inch spacer and put it on top of the springs. That raised the front back to original height. The longer wheel base of the Roadsmith puts more weight on the front.

    Jim - can you provide me the name of the installing dealer, and if you know, what brand of steering kit was used?

    Not Yet ! I sent a PM to Roadsmith with info per their request.
    Didn't want anyone to think I was bashing my installer in any way.
    You know how folks like to read something into a post LOL LOL
    Anyway, I imagine Roadsmith will contact the installer in due time and report back. I'm going to Bike Week next month, so if not resolved by then I will drop by the Trike Shop and have them take a look see.
    Doesn't prevent us from riding in any way, just wanting to make it more comfortable. LOVE MY ROADSMITH
    Thanks for the inquiry

    Hey Dawg, if you have to wait until Bike Week, be sure and swing by their TrikeShop there, the installer knows his biz for sure, and the big folks from RS will all be in that little shop. Got my install there, they did a fine job, the installer is a serious guy about his work, he's been there for many RS conversions, so that says "experience".....However, like other m/c shops, they will be slammed at that time.

    I have a question if I might. I keep reading and hearing about the GW recall and some say we need to get it done and others says since we have Roadsmith trikes it is not needed. My RS trike kit was installed late 2015 so not sure what to do????

    Thanks for the note! We've reached out to the dealer and are awaiting any information they can provide. It would be great if you could stop by our location in Daytona Beach so we can inspect the trike in person. We have a store at 410 N. Beach St, and we will also have a satellite location at the Speedway.

    Jim,

    Thanks for your concern. I will be in Daytona March 10th--12th.
    I will most definitely stop by the Trike Shop to have my unit inspected.
    Who do I contact and what documentation do I need to provide ?
    What day do I need to be there ? Beech St. location is good
    Thanks Again !!!

    Jim - please stop by the 410 N. Beach St location. Pretty much any employee there can look at the trike and determine whether the ride height is correct or not. If not at the right height, we will come up with a plan to get it fixed.

    Default Ride Heigth----Follow Up

    Went by the Trike Shop today for an inspection

    They went over the complete unit and stated that all was good to go
    Must be my OLE BUTT !!!!!
    They did adjust the mufflers some to get them even and straight

    Don and Doug are 2 great guys and were very concerned that I might have an issue
    I left well satisfied and even picked up some additional info in reference to tires,air pressure,shock settings, differential and spline maintenance, etc.
    Appreciate the time and attention given
    Good to know folks like them are still around.

    Glad to meet you RS !! We recently purchased a 2007 Goldwing trike (Roadsmith kit). Before this purchase we owned a 2002 trike (Lehman kit).

    We love the independent suspension ...a real comfortable ride. We've had it out a total of 4 times since the purchase in May and already a couple of things have arisen. Took it out of the garage yesterday hoping to get a ride in and there was oil on the floor. Pinion seal was leaking and we're in the process now of getting/replacing that.


    While under the trike, my hubby noticed that the shock springs have been rubbing on the inside of the tires to the point of rubbing the letters off!!


    These are original tires put on by Roadsmith dealer in Rome, GA in 2009. Bike has 37,000 miles on it and no idea how long this rubbing has been going on. Recommended air pressure per manual is 35.

    Our Lehman ran 20...big difference. That's neither here nor there as kits are completely different in many ways but thinking 35 was a lot.

    Is this a problem that has ever been brought to your attention? What can a person do to remedy?

    Looks like two new tires go on the list along with the pinion seal. Disappointed....

    Default tires

    What's recommended (brand, size...) for a Roadsmith conversion on a 2007 Goldwing?

    I think RS recommends 26 to 30, check your RS manual, or give them a call.

    I'm sorry to hear of the issues with the pinion seal and tires.

    Your mechanic has been in contact with our team here at Roadsmith, and we are confident you will be back on the road soon. Both repairs are relatively simple and your mechanic sounds like a top-notch wrench.

    Recommended air pressure in our rear tires is 26-30lbs.

    Load, ride quality, and driving style will determine which end of this range you should be at. The more load or the more aggressive driving?

    You should be at the higher end for air pressure. Vice-versa for more sedate driving or desire for softer ride.


    Standard tire and rim size is 16x7 rims, with a 205/65/16 tire. Alternative sizes can be used, but "rim width" and "rim offset" need to be considered to ensure proper fitment within the wheel well.

    Meaning, the rim cannot be too wide (or it won't fit), and the overall diameter needs to be about 26" (rim with tire) to make sure the gear ratio is correctly matched with the differential.

    Please let us know how the repairs turn-out, and for sure contact us if any questions.

    Your mechanic has been in contact with our team here at Roadsmith, and we are confident you will be back on the road soon. Both repairs are relatively simple and your mechanic sounds like a top-notch wrench.

    Recommended air pressure in our rear tires is 26-30lbs.

    Load, ride quality, and driving style will determine which end of this range you should be at. The more load or the more aggressive driving?

    You should be at the higher end for air pressure. Vice-versa for more sedate driving or desire for softer ride.

    Thank you Jim !!

    Wow!!

    That was a lot of info and I will pass the tire recommendations along to my hubby, the "mechanic"

    Comes in handy to be able to do a lot of the work ourselves and he did tell me that he'd been in contact. Very impressed how you offer your help to Roadsmith owners no matter if we're the original, second, third owner!! It's much appreciated !!
