Cost of conversion

paid4c4 · Nov 21, 2020

I noticed in the CSC website it list the base price of $8375 for the Encore trike kit. Any idea how much the labor cost for conversion and installing the kit? I'm just thinking about possibly upgrading from my 2012 to a 2018 or newer with automatic.

When i had mine built last year. Now mine is a kruze kit but price wise it shouldn’t be that much difference. But I’m thinking 16,000 or there abouts. Full install

Did the 16K include the cost of the kit? Thank you for the response.

I had a Honda GL1800 for several years and looked into triking it. I researched several options and manufacturers. The bottom line was that the total cost, kit, shipping, taxes, and installation came to $16,000 to $18,000. I probably could have shaved a little off that cost by not including some options. But I didn't want to end up with anything less than what I would be happy with. In my case, I sold my Goldwing and bought one that was already triked, was 6 years newer, had half the mileage, all for the cost of triking my old wing. Hope this helps..... Jim

Sent you a PM Bill.

That sounds about the same ballpark as what my wife says she is paying for my conversion but of a different model. There are several options that can change that figure apparently though.

Most of the 2018 and newer trikes are going for about $38,000 to $42,000 that I've seen online. The bikes alone seem to sell for about $28,000. Might be cheaper to wait until next spring when maybe a few with some miles are available. From what I've read, there seem to be some issues that may or may not have been worked out with the trike manufacturers. Seems the computers don't like the readings they get for I think the speed sensors and other items. I've seen a lot of posts of CSC problems but I think Papa Zook said they have a fix now. I would definitely PM him to get info of what conversion kit would be best to possibly buy one from him if he has any available.

I must admit that these numbers sound better. I've been led to believe to date that I'd likely be looking in the $46,700 to $49,000 price range for the one I want to buy from Russellville Honda with the CSC conversion trike kit installed when the all new 2021 GW with the DCT trans hits the market next month or there about. Is this figure within the realm of likelihood I'd like to ask? I'm good for a $50k personal loan from my bank. That's more money than I paid for my last new Dodge pick up truck since paid off.

It comes down to the options you choose. Average installation cost about $2,000.00 and don’t forget sales tax.
