    Default Best Installers

    I'm trying to decide whether to have my current two wheeler (2019 Honda Goldwing Tour DCT) triked, or buy an older unit, already complete.

    I know how much of a difference the installer makes, so I'd like to get a list of the 5 best installers in the western part of the U.S., or at least west of the Mississippi.

    Thanks in advance.

    Default Southwest Trike

    I looked around and even contacted CSC before having our 18 Goldwing Tour DCT triked to find an installer that definitely knew what they were doing. Contacted people that had theirs triked and talked with the trike dealers too.

    Ended up choosing Southwest Trike in Phoenix, AZ.

    http://southwesttrikes.com/

    Mine is in their shop right now getting the CSC Encore kit installed.

    Tracy and Dave are great to work with and Dave has a ton of knowledge about Trikes.

    If I was still back in ND I would have went with A & L Trikes just outside of Rapid City. He is an older gentleman and he worked on our 2010 CSC trike. Great guy and really knew his stuff.

    Default Trike installers

    When I was checking out trike conversions, I talked to American Bikes and Trikes in Gilbert. They do all different types of conversions. They seemed very knowledgeable.

    I ended up going a different route with my conversion, but they were very helpful in making my decision.

    Thank you.

    Their website says they're Temporarily closed. Elsewhere on the internet, it states they're permanently closed.

    What Trike manufacturer you going with?

    The 2018+ Goldwings make great Trikes.......

    I just purchased a new 2022 and had a CSC conversion done in March, could not be happier with it.

    Purchased my Goldwing and had the conversion done at Heartland Honda.

    If I already had the bike, I would probably make a trip to the CSC factory and have it done by them......great people.

    It really depends on how far you want to drive. There are many good installers around the country

    My advice is to stay away from the discount shops. I used to like 2 particular brands, but because many of one brand I see are triked by a major discount dealer, I no longer recommend that brand at all. Many discount shops "rush" their work, and they'll even promise to trike yours in a day.

    Their builders are paid per unit ... the faster a builder gets one done, the faster the builder moves onto the next one. And their quality of work shows it ... they cut every corner imaginable. All the little things that make for a great build are skipped over. The most important part to them is to take your money, and when you leave they say SEEYA ... as in get out of here, and no we don't offer any service after the sale !!!

    It's been my experiance that the better dealers build the trikes by themselves (mom an pop type shop), or pay thier builders by the hour. But of coarse that's not always true either.
    Please keep in mind that anytime I share or give advise about a motorcycle, unless I state otherwise, I am always referring to GL1800's and no other.

    best advise is to make the trip to Conroe TX and have Randy owner of CUT-N-SHOOT Customs build your trike. The best and honest. Check it out, it is worth the drive.

    OP - have you decided yet?

    I have a CSC kit. In my opinion, CSC really trains their installers. I understand that training is ongoing and inspections are done. This is why, in part, they have the 5year warranty.

    Having said that - your bike is fairly new and if you like the color and condition, it is in, you may consider converting that. I would imagine the kit installed will cost about $18K

    How much are you going to pay for one already done. Measure that against the price you may receive for your bike. If the difference grossly exceeds the $18K - then, such might be helpful.

    If, on the other hand you are in a rush - they, it might be nice to find a completed package.

    Whatever you do - enjoy

    Good people with a good work ethic are getting harder and harder to find. Many years ago I applied to Toys R Us to assemble bicycles for the Christmas season and the manger said you have 15 minutes to assemble this bicycle, replied would you want your child to ride this bicycle? And I got a funny look from him, and I said I would not endanger your child on something poorly assembled. I didn't take the job since I could not work in a proper manner.

    Today everything is about making money and there are many that don't care about the outcome of their actions. Would those very individuals be pleased to buy an item that someone threw together in a matter of hours? Take pride in your work and make it show, and when you place your built by sticker on that trike, that is your "Signature" that it is built right and that even you'd be pleased to own it.

    Twice I have been asked to come out of retirement and twice the answer has been no.

    There are good shops out there and you must do your homework to find them even if it means going to another state with a highly recommended installer, that's what trailers are for.
