Trike Trunk

[Truckdogg4]

I have a 2021 Goldwing Trike. The bottom trunk button quit working. Any suggestions?

Most of the time there's a cable under the seat you can pull to open the trunk looks like a throttle cable with no covering on it .

You sure your FOB is close enough to the receiver........it can be touchy as the CSC Trike kit install moves the bike's receiver to a less than optimum location. I moved mine from the location the installer put it, and it works so much better now.

Maybe try holding the FOB up close to the underside of the Goldwing trunk to see if it works?

I have just acquired a CSC Volusia trike. Problem is there is no key fob, which as I understand wasn't working for some time and then lost. I have the cable but it isn't opening the trunk and I'm pulling pretty hard at it. I've got to get it open.

any further advice is appreciated.

Thanks .

Have someone push in on the top of the door while you pull on the cable.

I've heard this before, where did you find yours and where did you move it to, and do you have pictures?

The PO I got my bike from had put a cover over the FOB and it was cutting down on the distance it could transmit I removed the cover and it seams to work better.

Hey Terrence, Welcome to Trike Talk....

On another thread, I had a similar problem opening the Roadsmith trunk.

It was explained to me, on another forum, the rightmost lever on the Goldwing trunk, which operated the saddle bag on the non-triked Goldwing, will open the Roadsmith trunk. Voila! I got to drink my ice cream..

It may be worth a shot.

apologies

I have been working way to much and not responding to those trying to educate me about the trike life. So, here's the update:

Trike is running great. Enjoying the ride. Still trying to figure out the right cold and wet weather gear. Received information about buying Carhart or Dickies insulated coverall for the cold. Might just go with Frog togs as a wet weather solution or maybe used gortex from military surplus[worked while I was active]. Did the first differential oil change no issues except the refill- use a clear tube with funnel to put new oil in-pain to keep in place. A car ramp, jack stands, and floor jack work great for differential oil change. oil changes-just slide under it. I think I'm going to need compression bags for clothing. Just waiting on the weather to stabilize prior to making a long trip.
