Many of us are riding Road Smith's, I think you will be happy with your choice. Of course, I can't answer your question, I had the RS Trike Shop do the conversion. However, the instructions that came with the trike seems pretty straight forward, step by step. I'm just not a wrench by any stretch, so I wouldn't attempt the conversion.
I also had my Roadsmith unit installed by another dealer so I can't help in the installation process. But I can tell you that you're gonna 'Love' the Roadsmith!!
Will do mine in my shop, incl. painting

How 'bout some Pics of your completed Trike and that Paint Work?
Love to see your Creation...
I did my 89 tour glide ultra with a champion kit and a rake kit bought from zook.
google- pcombe library/photobucket- for pics of the conversion, you may pick up an idea or two.
I show an easier way to remove the bottom neck bearing also.
I had to manufacture a few one off parts myself due to the age of bike, but the kit its self was fairly straightforward.
That being said, keep your motor manual handy for reference, I would suggest if you don't have a motor manual, Get one before you start.
Enjoy life now!----------IT HAS AN EXPERATION DATE
1989 HARLEY DAVIDSON TOUR GLIDE ULTRA CHAMPION- A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING-(CUT YOUR WOLF LOOSE!)
the difference between a good trike and a bad one depends entirely on the integrity of it's builder!
Yes it does come with that tool. What it won't come with is the two foot 1/2 inch breaker bar and three foot cheater bar I had to use on the right side to break that side loose. (had to stand on that cheater bar and do a few bounces to get it to get loose.) The left side was a piece a cake. Right side bolt was frozen on my ride. There's a good chance you won't have that problem.

You have already seen it. It was in the for sale section of the forum for some time. I'll see if I can drum up another pic.
