    Default Does anyone know the actual weight of a Roadsmith kit ??

    I have a 2010 Goldwing, with the Roadsmith kit added...

    What I need is just the added weight of the kit itself..........(I know the stock bike itself weighs approx 950 lbs.)

    I just to know how much weght is added when triking out this bike............Thank you all!

    Don’t take this for gospel but I was told because of the parts that are taken off there isn’t much difference in added weight??..

    You have to subtract the weight of all the parts taken off

    According to the specs on Road Smith web sight, the total weight of the bike with the kit is 1150 lbs wet

    So using the weight of a stock bike (Goldwing)@ approx 950 lbs and the new kit at 1150 lbs I'd estimate that the kit weighs in @ approx 200 lbs extra........Not as heavy as I honestly thought..

    More than that friend!!! You have to consider that weight of all the stock items removed to install the kit, as noted in previous posts.

    I have a CSC trike kit but there is probably minimal difference in weight between yours and mine. The dry weight of my stock 2008 GL1800 is 820 lbs. The dry weight of my 2008 GL1800 with the CSC kit installed is 1080 lbs. So, after taking all the stuff off for the conversion and adding all the trike stuff, I have a vehicle net weight increase of 260 lbs. The weight of my California Sidecar kit is 359 lbs so that means there was 99 lbs of OEM stuff removed for the trike conversion. (359-99=260, the increased net weight of my Goldwing).

    So, I think it is safe to say that your trike kit weighs about 350 lbs and you removed about 100 lbs from your original bike for the trike installation. Hope this is useful information..... Jim

    Easily 1100-1200 pounds total, but no doubt feels like more as nothing comes free and as you accelerate the mass of the now trike, you also have two heavy flywheels to accelerate (which we'll call rear tires & wheels & axles), which all together easily weigh more than twice that small narrow MC tire on alloy narrow rim, with no axles to rotate up. It's all cumulative. You use up power accelerating the mass from "here" to "there", but you also have to turn those flywheels up if accelerating. You'll also notice the increases when you go to slow by engine braking or with just the lone front brake. There's energy stored in those flywheels, there's energy store in the moving mass.

    Then there's added framework to support added body and a heavier swing arm or rear suspension.
