What's under the hood so to speak is my first interest. I acquired an '09 Wing with the Roadsmith kit. I had previously read and heard the Roadsmith was good but never had any experience with one until I got the '09 with 21k miles on it. First off, from what I know about it so far is, the thing is virtually bulletproof especially the drive shaft. The features they have to offer is great and the ride options are also. Most of the parts they use can be bought at automotive stores (a HUGE plus). I've found they are a no hassle Company and any info you might want is downloadable from their site.
I have had occasion to have to ask for info on the phone and have talked to Taylor a few times and one other tech and from my experience they are one of the most customer oriented Companies I've ever ran into for a long time. Information for customers seems not to be "top secret" there and that is very admirable. There isn't anything about my Roadsmith or the Company employees I've talked with so far that I don't like period. The handling, especially in the twisties, with the 5 1/2 degree rake is superb. I hate to get off the thing after long (250 mile plus) local rides. Can't wait to saddle up again. This kit, IMO, with my experience so far is absolutely TOP notch. I'd wouldn't hesitate to buy another one in a second.
