Richland Roadster Kit

[fossil]

Any one have any experience with this kit? I don't like the TowPac because of the small wheels and don't like the Voyager because it still lets the bike lean. The Richland Roadster has the large fenders and wheels like the Voyager and is solid mounted like the TowPac (no leaning). Its only $3450 and can get it shipped to me for $200. It looks great but would like to find someone who has rode with one for ride details.

The bike with a voyager only leans 3 to 7 degree that you do not feel.In the last 10 years I have over a 100K miles on a Voyager on 5 differen bikes with no problem so you can say I like it.The differen in the price is worth it.

I ride with a friend that has a voyager and the first time I was behind him in a turn and one of his wheels lifted off the ground it like to have scared me to death lol. I would just prefer the bike not to lean at all and I don't want a wheel lifting on me. Plus the Richland Roadster at $3450 is about $1500 to $2000 cheaper than the voyager kits I have priced, except maybe a used one.

I am going to be honest... it's not very nice looking! No offence meant!

But, if the price is right and you need it... yes. Have you checked the after market on these... Are any for sale on bikes and what are they going for. I like a good resale value when ever I buy most things.. but with a trike i did sort of throw that thinking out the window.

Randy I'm sure you will like it.I hope you can post pics and opinions after youv'e got it on and rode it awhile.My opinion is they look good to not be a full kit and for the price look good.If you get over to E. Tn with it drop me a line I'd love to see it.I think if it keeps you riding and your happy with it is all that matters.

Did you get the Richland Conversion Kit? I'm also looking at one for my GL1100I.

[Marc H]

Randy did you get a trike yet and if so what are your thoughts on it?

Still have the problem of lifting a wheel and wearing out that middle tire fast. How hard is the install and disconnect. It does not look too bad.

I have ordered a Richland Roadster kit for my HD Ultra Classic. If I get it when they projected, I should have it mounted and operational by 16 July. If the product and customer service is as good as the responses I got from the numerous phone conversations with them before I ordered, It should be a joy.

Do to a bad experience that I had with the kit I would not recommend it to anyone.
I had it installed in Jan 2012in Florida had to have parts shipped to me to make it back to Texas. and had to have it taken off in April 2012 due to the side rails were cracking. It was not safe to be on the road.Owner of company will not fix it unless I bring it back to Florida at my expense.
Want to pm me feel free.

Hey Yogi, I hope you are the exception rather than the rule.. I just ordered a Richland for my Yamaha V-Star 1300.

I know that this is an ancient thread (prehistoric even). I just watched the installation video on their website. Very poorly done! Seems like it is way too complicated to install, and I have a problem with it being attached to the engine guards. I know that outrigger type kits are not "child simple" to install but either the guy doing the video is not very good at explaining himself or this kit has way too many measurements to take. It also seems like once you do get it attached, you will NEVER want to take it off or have to reinstall it again.

This kit is not worth the crate it was shipped in I ordered mine for a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic and right side rail was weilded wrong not allowing the back mount to line up to be square, contacted company and they say they had a disgruntled employee that sent some out wrong tried to find out if they were going to either give my money back or another one to replace the one I got no reply yet I think I got a pile of scrap on my garage floor BUYER BE WARE I don't here from in a day or two I guess I'll see what Better Business can do for me

How did you make out with these guy's (Richland)? I have seen reviews that say the kit's mount to crash bars and alike, is that also true?

[D'07ShadowAero]

Thanks for the reviews all. Cured me from purchasing one. I am checking what would be best on a 97 Yamaha Royal Star, with 21,000 miles on it.
