Re: Outrigger Trike Pics
Dan B. I posted a Q on this forum concerning exactly what you have build. I have a GL1500 Goldwing and want to trike it. As someone has mentioned the kit you build are almost the same as what is available on the market in the US but also not in Namibia so I will have to build one myself. In this kit the original rearwheel is kept and two side wheels are added. How does the trike handles and ride. If you could email me and give more info I will be overjoyed. A "normal" kit, without the centre wheel,will have to be imported and will cost me around namibian dollars 100 000.00

It seems that you have the same sort of setup. Ons with the original rearwheel kept and two sidewheels added. Please let me hear your advise on this one.
Could save me thousands of N$ in trking my bike.

Here's a few of the Tow Pac Insta Trike kit I just bought... I haven't had time to have it painted yet to match the bike, but that is next on the list...

Here are a few more recent photos... Location is Pall Mall, TN at the home and burial site of Alvin C. York (Sgt. York of WWII fame)
This is the story I posted on some of the other sites.
...............................................................................
As some of you know, I had an interesting riding trip From Edinburg Texas to Greenleaf Kansas and back, over the last week, 1031 miles one way. Broke down twice. Fuel pump went out replaced and the replacement went out. Lost my Galaxy Note 2 cell phone and had to buy another, canceled ins. a while back. Spilled water on my Laptop and had to buy a new one. A very expensive trip to say the least.
Now for the rest of the story. I have discovered, in life, you play the hand you are dealt. I have been on Disability since 1998 with many problems that are doing their best to cripple me. Riding by myself, I'm not having much problem handling the bike, but with the wife on the back, it's becoming more difficult to hold it up at stops. I didn't tell her, but I almost dropped it with her on it the last time we rode and it scared the hell out of me. I could not deal with myself if I hurt her because of something that is preventable by doing what I just did.
The reason I went to Greenleaf in the first place was to buy a Trike Kit from a really nice guy that builds and sells them out of his home. I researched for several months before deciding on his kit. It is the most professionally designed kit I found. All his welds are done by a pro welding shop. He aligns the kit to your bike down to a 32nd of an inch before he bolts it up. It's not as easily removable as say a Voyager kit, but it's not hard. He also doesn't charge an arm and a leg. $1800 start to finish.
As you can see in the pics, his paint supplier sent the wrong paint, but after the week I had, I told him not to worry about it as I used to paint for a living when I was younger and I still dabble in it so I should be able to paint it myself, besides that, I wanted to get back home.
I had read horror stories about some of the other kits and after 1050 miles on mine I couldn't be happier. There is a learning curve on any trike, but if you've ever ridden a 3 or 4 wheeler atv it's no different, just faster speeds. Steering is a joy compared to the Voyager and the Tow Pac I tried out.

LouLou2. TO CBLACK 6540 !!
I have the Towpac kit as well on my 02 Yamaha VStar Classic 1100.
How does it ride for you? Do you feel as tho your trike is bumpy going past 50mph. I get that on mine, it's definitely the kit that is feeling that way, not the bike itself.
Just wondering if you or others have had this problem and how to fix the problem. I can't post a pic, it's in my old broken phone, but will take a pic of it with camera tomorrow, mine is black as well, the kit matched perfectly, didn't have to paint anything. My Cargo back seat wrap around and jumbo bags made of same as the kits fenders. Had cobra pipes put on it. She was too quiet, even tried to start it once when it was already running....So you can hear me now ! Lol. Thanks in advance for replies.

try playing with the air pressures I am running 12 to 14 lbs in the outrigger tires 36 in the bike rear and 30 lbs in my front works very well and smooth ride up to 80 mph tried more pressure in the outrigger tires but it was rough at that point this is on the Trigg kit. nice and smooth .
