I purchased an ’03 GL1800 with a Champion kit from a local dealer. Since the purchase I know of two occasions that this dealer has flat out lied to me. Needless to say, I don’t have much faith in him now.
Anyway, he tells me there is a 4.5° rake kit installed on it and it also has 1” fork extensions installed. As for the rake kit, when I look down there I see no black on the clamps, but I also see no fork extensions. Would they be under the top clamps so I can see them?
Measuring from the ground to the bottom of the trike directly behind the front wheel I get 103mm. I have to use the car jack to lift the trike enough to get my bike lift under it. Does that sound right if there are 1” extensions? Is there some other way to check without front end disassembly?
Assuming it does have kit and extensions, I’m still not real happy with the force I have to use to get around turns. Would installing 2” extensions help with the turning or just make things worse.
