We have a 2008 gl1800 with the Lehman Monarch II kit.
Love it.
It only has 12,000+ miles and performs flawlessly - was triked brand new.
It has the 4-1/2* rake kit. It turns quicker than the gl1800 motortrike kit we also have.
As drivers we can't tell a pinch of difference in the ride between the 2 trikes.
Our Lehman is for sale right now as we are down to one driver.
Good luck with your decision.
Send me a PM if you are possibly interested in our Lehman.

I have a 2003 Monarch and like it. I have had it for 8 years and have 85,000 on it.
It's nice to find one with low miles. However, just as important as low miles is how well it's been maintained. Unfortunately, many GL1800 owners take very poor care of their Wings. For example, a 2004 Wing should have its coolant changes every 2 years. That means this Wing should be going in its 7th coolant change.
Here's what you can probably count on. When you buy it, it will be clean and shinny, and hopefully it had regular oil/filter changes, and tires, and brakes as required.
Please keep in mind that anytime I share or give advice about a motorcycle, unless I state otherwise, I am always referring to GL1800's and no other.
