I converted my Goldwing GL1500 last year. On my first test ride, I had the dealer as my passenger. (What a brave soul!) As I went on my first hill in 5th gear, I couldn't believe what little power I had. The dealer said "shift into a lower gear". DUH! That's what I do whenever I don't get a good running start up a hill. You'd be surprised how fast you can go in 4th gear. I would suggest get it triked first and then see if you have enough power. My guess is you will.
