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[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
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.

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.

Ride Heigth----Follow Up
[FONT=arial black][SIZE=3]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....

I coulda sworn I saw a post asking about 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.
