2016 Triglide Vivid Black (Black Bear).
Saw the new Trike at Americade this week and I'll have to say that it's the best looking conversion of the new Wing compared to the other offerings.
Great job CSC !!
Given the engine problems that are cropping up on our M8-engined Tri Glides, the new DCT Goldwing coupled with the beautiful Encore trike kit is looking more and more appealing. I sat on a new DCT equipped Wing yesterday and was very impressed with the new front suspension. The new motor sports 4 valves per cylinder and I am anxiously awaiting the mileage results of the DCT spec Encore.
Honda rates their touring DCT Goldwing at 42 mpg. It will be very interesting to see what kind of MPG CSC is getting out of the new DCT/CSC setup?
Talked with the folks at CSC today and they are putting in a large amount of effort in getting the rake correct for the new 2018 Goldwing Touring given the complexity of the double wishbone front suspension and how it is going to interact with a change in rake.
They are also using their expert engineering consultants to insure the the integrity of the retrofit u-fork they will be manufacturing for the new bike/Encore ensemble and how it will interact with the new Honda design. They are also paying close attention to fuel requirements and are addressing these issues in their design meetings.
My impression of the new Honda and it's many new features is presenting significant design challenges for our aftermarket trike manufacturers and it appears that CSC is working hard to integrate as many of the bikes inherent upgrades into their trike packages. Clearly a task for expert and experienced folks like CSC.

Gotta say, that's fairly impressive. My 2005 GW/2012 RS conversion my avg is probably 33/35 mpg at best. I compute the mpg each time I top it off, I'm easy on the throttle, Florida flat lands, two up mostly.

Now that looks awesome. A winner for sure in my books.

Saw the 1800 2018 yesterday at our TTNE rally in the Catskills. They showed us a ton of features. What will be list when the conversion is done. . The sport mode and rain mode I imagine will stay. The adj windscreen will stay. How about linked brake and the antilock syste.?
When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

Wow, that looks great! I hope to see the Encore at the up-coming Wings Over the Smokies in Waynesville, NC. I would love to take a test ride on one of those beauties!
I enjoyed the visit and getting to tear down and help build a new 2019 Goldwing CSC Encore under Will's supervision. Thanks Dwight, Will, Todd, Cassie and the CSC crew.

Wow ... that kit looks like a big step up from kits from the past.
The DCT is impressive, more so than I expected. If I was buying a new Goldwing to convert, it would definitely be the DCT. The shifts are quick, solid and smooth. I can see how it beats the manual shift bike in drag race testing.
Goldwing sales flattened out in 2017 and 2018 for both new bikes and trike conversions, but the new Goldwing has changed that in a big way. All the manufacturers I talk to are having a tough time keeping up with the numbers of orders coming in on the '18 and '19 Goldwings. Domestic and overseas orders are really strong.
