Volkswagen
All I can say is I have downloaded the parts list from the RS site. Some of the parts listed are Volkswagen parts, actually there is a mixture of parts to this conversion kit. I replaced my brakes with ceramic pads and they are for a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle.

Hang in there Ronnie, some installers are out there just to get the $ and screw you over while doing it. Unfortunately, you don't know that until the fat lady sings, until it's all said and done. Having said that, there are good one's out there, you know, like Zook but we all can't get to Zook. I am disappointed in the communication with Bear Lake RS, but I've said that before, so no need to shovel into it.

Roadsmith does use some VW brake parts,and I believe the cv joints are VW as well. The rear differential is ford. I like this because I can go to a parts store anywhere and get replacement parts. Not so much with some other trike manufacturers . With them the parts have to be bought from them and they can charge what they want.

Should fit Easily
[QUOTE=kam582;688633]Thanks guys. We're seriously considering the Road Smith. We have to figure out how to get in in our 10 foot toy hauler garage for the occasional times we haul it, and how to extend the tail gate a couple inches on our utility trailer for its rare use. I need to find a talented aluminium welder.😁[/QUOTE]
I have a 2005 GL1800 with a 2016 HTS kit, I bought the Roadsmith for 2 reasons one reputation and two it easily fit in my enclosed 6x12 (last 2 feet is pointed nose) trailer. The trike fits in as if the trailer were squared off no problem. I have even tested it in my neighbors 10' landscape trailer. I did add a soft pad along the back when the gate went up just to be safe
