Does anyone know which brands of manufacturers use easily obtainable auto parts in their drive train or at least have reasonably priced parts??? I'm gonna be in the market for a new trike in the spring. As much as I hate Tupperware I'm leaning towards a Goldwing.
Check out Roadsmith. Some of the other are almost all custom parts.

Seems to me that someone posted a list within the last year (as I recall) that has that info. Might have been solidbob. Hopefully whoever it was will respond soon.
I'd vote for Roadsmith also. Not just because that is what I ride now. My MotorTrike was a find machine but I chose to replace it with Roadsmith after a LOT of research!!

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
Go with a Hannigan and not only will you have a smooth IRS ride, you will have a low maintenance unit and won't need to worry about replacement parts

I like my Roadsmith because you can get most repair parts from a auto parts store if ever needed. All the driveline parts are common car parts. They use a ford rear-end and Volkswagen axles and brakes. That was one of the major thing that steered me to the Roadsmith.
I got an email response from Roadsmith. I was told of the all auto parts off the shelf. They list the parts and part #'s in the owners manual got my attention!!!!!
Attached is a link to another Trike Talk thread that may also help in your decision making process. The poll is self explanatory.
