I also own a 2008 Goldwing with a 2010 Champion conversion. You did not mention if it was a straight axle or independent suspension. Either way, the U-joints should be the same. Has anyone mentioned that the Champion conversion uses a Ford Ranger rear end? Any qualified mechanic either Honda or Ford should be able to identify what you need.

Champion has used a Toyota Rear axle since 2002. Prior to that they sued a Suzuki rear axle. Lehman has used the 6.75 Ford rear axle and MotorTrike has used a Ford 8" or 8.8 depending on model. The Spicer 5-443X u-joint is used in some Champion Trikes, but I cannot guarantee which you need.

I own a 2006 Goldwing with a 2018 CRT independent suspension Trike conversion. i got a replacement part # 437-G at Advance Auto. I had to remove the right rear brake pressure assembly to get to and remove the 6 Allan screws with my battery drill impact after heating the pinch block. I easily replaced the u-joints in my bench vise using sockets with the size of the caps and pressed the new caps back in the same method. I paid less than $25 bucks for the u-joint. Good Luck!!!

I am wondering the same thing about the U-Joints in a 2012 Wing with the Champion IRS kit. I have called and left messages, and sent them a email on their contact us on their website. But I have not received any replies yet.

No one has called be back, So I pulled the drive shaft yesterday and measured the U-Joints and ordered new ones. I was supprised how easy the shaft came out, and the U-Joints were easy to find.
