    What issues in fitting new headstock with 6 deg to a Honda Gold Wing Trike 1500

    Will it improve the steering or will it give problems

    I had 6 on my 1500 and loved it.It will be responsive but you'll get used to that and you can drive with 1 hand.
    Do not argue with an idiot.He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

    I recommend that you contact the manufacture of your trike kit, and get the one that is designed and engineered for your trike kit.
    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.

    What brand or manufacturer is the trike conversion made by? The longer/wider conversions can benefit from a 6 degree rake, but the more common GL1500 shorter/narrower conversions like Motor Trike, Champion, etc work well with a 4 degree.
