Agree Ronnie, if I had it to do over, I'd probably make the same decision. You know how it goes, I was younger back in 2012 and had visions of riding west of the MS river over those long west bound roads, blah, blah, and surprise, that never happened. Age has way of overtaking those grandeur thoughts of riding far and wide.
Cheers, Bill

Billy,
It totally sucks getting old doesn't it?? [I just turned 69 last week] :mad: I also had "big dreams" of riding the entire USA.... BUT of course that never even came close to happening!

Aux tank
[QUOTE=daveking95;697120]Well, I just spoke with the folks up at Roadsmith... they currently have a 2.5 gallon (ish) Aux Fuel Tank in the R&D stage, and they asked me to call back around November (2019) to see if it's come to fruition yet. I like their filler neck and I like the auto-shutoff feature on the setups for the Roadsmith trike kit, so I'd hope they use those items on the TG kit too. Bad part is- the TG has a solid axle, so it uses more room under the tub than their Roadsmith independent rear uses.
So, a smaller tank. :gah: Even another 2.5 is better than carrying a separate gas can...:Shrug:
I'm definitely setting up a reminder to call them back![/QUOTE]
Any word yet?
Thanks

Ronnie, yes, getting old does suck, but getting old and riding softens the "suck" factor some.

[QUOTE=Burnerboy;711782]If I already have a Roadsmith trike (Goldwing) set up, can this be added if trike had been built two years ago?? :confused::confused:
Ronnie[/QUOTE]
Hi Ronnie - yes, we can retro-fit your trike with an auxiliary fuel tank (assuming you do not have the extended trunk option). It requires removing the seat, tour-box and trike body. The tank bolts into place, route some fuel lines, vent lines, and wiring. Put everything back on. Takes about 6hrs of time. Cost for the parts is $499. Let me know if we can help you out!

Thanks[/QUOTE]
Hi Ridernut - we have installed a couple tanks on TriGlides. Still working through the process, evaluating installation time, parts cost, and frankly, how much demand is out there. We just aren't certain at this time that we are going to go into production on the tank. Sorry to ask again, but please check back in a couple months.
