I think one needs to get any warrantee understanding in writing. That's why factory warrantees are in writing. A call to the mothership or a handshake agreement with a dealer won't cut it in court. Any reputable dealer willing to say he will back up a stem to stern warrantee on a trike conversion would be willing to put his name on a document. Otherwise it's your word against his.
Looking to purchase a trike
- Thread starter iccco
- Start date
Cliff in SW Illinois has a nice 2008 GW w/ 2010 CSC with only 9,100 miles. His number is 217.248.6727.
I talked to owner of local honda dealer who also does conversions (CSC & Champion) He said he has no problem with warranty as long as honda doesn`t get involved. So that tells me it depends on problem.
Who knows what problems will pop up or how the warranty will work. All you can do is try to cover your butt the best way you can.
I did the best I could and it is what it is. I purchased my new trike as a new trike from a Honda dealer. I was offered the Honda warranty there but declined because they were just too expensive. I already knew how much the warranty should cost.
I purchased the warranty at a Honda dealer in my area that installs the same trike kit and sells the completed unit as a trike and also services them.
Both dealers said there is no problems with Mother Honda on warranty work.
The trike is separate from the Goldwing. If parts of the trike break the trike warranty covers it. If the wing breaks the Honda warranty covers that.
It is easy to tell which is which.
These trikes have been running for years and I believe if the trike kit caused damage to the wing there wouldn't be trikes being sold, or if the wing caused the trike part to fail.
Either way, I would have a great court case on my side if either company tried to void my warranty because of a trike kit added by a Honda dealer and a warranty sold by another Honda dealer that builds the same trike and services them.
You can only hope nothing happens but try to prepare as best you can.
That's what I did.

In today's world, you can only CYA so much.
I'm sorry your post got hijacked.
Good luck on finding a trike. No matter what you decide to buy you will love having it.
I wish I had bought one ten years ago!
