I'd take her to a reputable dealer. The diffs are bullet proof, so not likely your problem.

Just had my CSC ( 05 Wing,triked 8-07) converted by Stan @ Mt Trikes returning from Wing Ding. Welded dirveshaft replaced w/his CV joint. 3 mpg increase & drive"line's" smooth as butter !! Welded shaft's a patch,the CV joint is a true fix ! I've worked w/steel 40 yrs (bank vault doors),I think I know some of steel,shafts,& welds.

Harlin, I've been a machinist for over 30 yrs and I agree with you. Mtn. Trikes fix is the correct fix for the CSC driveshaft. I've had mine for over 8000 miles and mine is smooth like yours and gained mileage as well. I can move my trike around with one hand. I've had the driveshaft back off three times (just to check) and all is well. I love my Mtn. trike coupler. Call Stan or Nancy and see what we mean.

I purchased a 09 Honda last fall, still in warranty, with 3.400 miles on it. Shortly after getting it, 3,700 miles, I took it in for a noise under the rear. To make the story short the suspension was shot. After weeks I got some warranity on parts but not labor. The dealer followed the instructions for replacement of the now "third" set of shocks and various other parts. I spent almost $2,000. in all and was without the bike till mid Jan. 2013.
I now have 6,833 miles on it and it has inside wear on the tires. Factory is telling the dealer that its out of warranity and we should have made some other repacements. We sent them pictures, damaged parts for inspection, and followed there instructions for fixing the trike.
They are now saying its not covered and I will be out over a thousand dollars again. Please help advise how to fix this bike or should I just give up and take my losses.
Thanks, Tom

I have a 2008/1800 with a 2010 CSC trike kit.

2 weeks ago the driveshaft decided to go south. All the noise was alot of grinding etc.etc.etc. I called CSC and they said that they would replace
the driveshaft at no cost to owner. I took to one of their dealerships and
it was done. The whole thing was that I had vibrations since I had it triked.
NOW. I have no noise, vibrations, no nothing. Didn't know it would be that
smooth. Soooo, if you have a problem, call CSC and they will take care of
the problem practically over the phone. They are experimenting with the
welding of the driveshaft. It worked for me. Good luck.

Ride safe
