New Motor Trike Conversion

Hy Fred! Welcome to TrikeTalk from west Texas! I would check in the mirror for that great big smile on your face!

Welcome to the Gang from Western Colorado.
You will have a big smile, but you might check for fit of the kit, finish, trunk operation and general operation of the trike.
Pay attention to operation of lights, gauges, in general all features.
I'd also do a look under the trike for leaks, hanging wires, etc.
Even the best trike builder can have an off day and forget to tighten or attach something.
After that, make sure you get paperwork if possible about replacement parts and warrantee items.
Then go out and ride the heck out of it, that's where the smile comes in.
Welcome from another Motor Trike owner.
Not much I can add to what has already been said.
My personal contacts with Motor Trike have been limited and I was well taken care of when needed.
No real complaints on my part.
Except and its a small thing. The LED pressure display. It does have a tendency to give up the ghost. At least mine has.
I am on my 3rd display.............
Other then that small issue 5+ years of mostly happy motoring on 3 wheels.
Fred, Welcome to Trike Talk Forum. You won't regret joining our group.

What is an LED pressure display? Is it possibly something that I might know by a different name?

Did you get the Aquashields? A good addition; especially since you can stand on them.
Also, consider the fender shields.... lots cheaper than a repaint....
Enjoy

Hello Larry! Welcome to TrikeTalk from west Texas!

Yes the air shock/voltage display.
To avoid some potential confusion on this topic.
The GL1500 will not have this feature since our conversion for the 1500 is designed to tie into the OE air compressor system & uses the factory controls/display in the dash.
Also, older GL1800's & other solid axle units won't have this also since this was not offered until later on (unless retrofitted later on). The first gen digital displays came out for the solid axle Goldwing 1800's sometime around 2008 & was updated/revised when the IRS conversions were released in late 2009.
