Has anyone used heavier springs in the front shocks on a Goldwing Trike. I was at the bike shop and they were telling me about them. If anyone has how do you like them.

The OEM springs are weak to begin with. Personally, I have the Traxxion springs in mine and they were chosen by rider/passenger weight. Also have the Traxxion cartridges so antidive is not functional. Stronger springs, whether progressive or straight will improve the 1800's ride and handling. YMMV.
"How you liking the Traxxion combination? I'm thinking about doing it next year. "
Love it.
Good point: It's a 2005 Goldwing with a Champion solid axle conversion...not sure about the year. It has Champion's 4.5 degree rake, and it comes with I believe their 3/4 inch (or 1 inch) extension on the tubes. Not sure about spacers, but if they don't normally come with the triple-tree kit, then I doubt they are there. The trike now has about 15,000 miles.Need to give the following for best possible advice...
What Bike ?
What Brand Conversion ?
Triple Trees changed? If so, what degree?
Fork Extensions used with above?
Spacers present (internal) already?
