Roadsmith Trikes
Sponsor - Roadsmith Trikes
In September 2014 I ordered a new '15 Honda GL1800 40th Anniversary Goldwing and immediately set about choosing which conversion would replace my aging 2006 MotorTrike. My search was short to say the least. In a matter of days I began exchanging emails and phone calls with Taylor at Roadsmith. Together we developed the paint scheme to match the unique 40th Anniversary Honda design. By the time my new Goldwing had arrived the conversion kit was in production. A "LONG" three weeks after I brought home the bike, a very large crate was delivered to my front door. What a GREAT Christmas present that was!!
I spent the next 10 days converting my GL1800 into the Roadsmith HTS1800 I have ridden, enjoyed, and bragged about for the past three years! When I finished the conversion (and many times since) people said "This is the most beautiful trike I have ever seen!" But the beauty alone was not why I chose the Roadsmith HTS1800 conversion. I have ridden and wrenched bikes and trikes for over 50 years so what's underneath the beauty means as much or more. The fact that this chassis design has been in productions (with only minor tweaks) for so long is testament to its proven durability and function. How well they were able to design a body that so seamlessly matches the 2012 through 2017 Goldwings was important but how the company worked with me developing my dream trike was the icing on the cake. :clapping::clapping:
I just completed my annual Winter Maintenance and was very please to NOT find a single surprise. I even totally removed and inspected the driveshaft for the first time. So, here we are nearly three years and 30,000 miles later... Still getting the same comments from people, still ridding as often as I can while enjoying ever minute, and yes, still bragging. :Shrug:
Great post GoldRush - we really appreciate the response!! We need to get you on our road-crew and hit some rallies .
