Hi all, newbie here and to Road Hawks. I've had everything from big V-8 Trikes to my recent GL1500. made them all drivable to fit me as I'm a T-10 Paraplegic. Hardest part was and still is getting on and off of them and taking my chair with me. I recently saw and purchased off of Ebay a 1996 Road Hawk specifically built for a handicapped individual back then.
It's been through a few owners and some changes were made, it used to have a steering wheel with VW steering box but was changed to T-bars, looks like the shifter was setup somehow on the front right with some kind of a linkage but now it's been Rube Goldberged on the left of the column, wiring is a total mess, if I don't keep it on a charger the battery go's dead.
I've changed the neck and wheel bearings on the Springer front end and that pretty much took care of the death wobble that it had, still some wobble in it though. Changed the bearings in the wheelchair turntable and that rotates really nice once again. Been tracing out dozens of broken wires and found a lot of live ones, been removing the ones that are dead and capping off all the live ones. I have been reading a lot of posts in here and there is so much good info, I want to say thank you to everyone.
I'm trying to get this Trike up and running and make it safe for me to ride, as it alleviates the getting on and off problem and allows me to be in my chair to ride so fixed the problem of taking my chair with me on my old trikes. Parts are so hard to find for it, can't find any literature or wiring diagrams. Any info would really help me out a lot, I've enclosed a pic below. I've already contacted, Road Smith in both MN and Fla. but not much help so far. That's not me on the trike but the last owner.
