Back in the saddle again after selling my Honda Shadow Spirit last year and having no one to ride with and it not really being a hwy touring bike. All in all I loved riding it and taking pics of it.
I'm in the process of looking for a Goldwing Trike 93 thru 95 yrs. I'm looking at two: one is a 93 GL1500 GW-SE with trike kit. Has only 56k miles on it which makes me wonder. Man has owned it 3 yrs. When I went to look at it the owner couldn't start it. He took it to the Honda Shop to have it fixed, I assume, but no return call since Sat. when he said the repair man said it would take awhile to fix it. Tires look very, very worn and plastic is not shinny and the owner didn't know much about it that he could explain.

Asking $6500
The other is a 95 GL1500 GW Interstate with a Voyager trike kit. Has no reverse as the other bike did but it runs and looks less beat up. Tires look brand new and plastic looks shinny. Woman has owned it and rode it for 10 yrs. and it also has a hitch which I'm glad cause I want to get a trailer to do some serious traveling.
Well that's where I am so far. If anyone has suggestions please shout out. Oh - I forgot. The pics are: white bike is the Shadow Spirit. The Green bike is the GL1500 Interstate($5500) and the Blue one is the GL1500 SE ($6500).

Welcome to TT!

Looks like you have been doing some searching. From what you have described the GW with the Voyager sounds like a better bike. Not sure on the price though. Keep in mind that it's 21 years old.

Try looking on EBay Motors, Motorcycles.
In the Search box type in Gold Wing Trike.
A number of them will come up.
In fact, once you get to EBay Motors, Motorcycles, in the search box type in 112070905356.
That is the item number of a 1995 GL1500 TrikeShop trike - white. It is located in Baton Rouge.
Gives you something for price comparison anyway.
Good luck!

PAWS - I looked up the trike on Ebay motors, motorcycles and found the white Honda GW trike in Baton Rouge you mentioned and it was nice. Two things: Its on auction as you know and presently at $7334 with 3 days left. I'm sure it will go much higher. It has a pre-Roadsmith conversion (put together by a company that became Roadsmith) which is a very desirable and high quality conversion - as you know. Out of my budget league I'm afraid. My price range is more in the Tri-kit range you know for a starter - which I am. The Tri-kits are basically training wheels on a bike thus making it 4 wheels in stead of three. Very basic for starters and poor guys with penny budgets that love bike riding but are too old to handle the weight, etc. But thanks for the mention
