    The Importance of Using the Right Conversion Shop

    This is more of a vanity post, but I wanted to stress, once again, to those that are thinking about triking out their existing 2-wheelers the importance of selecting the right conversion shop. I can't stress the importance of this enough. Do your due diligence, check references, etc. It will...

    U-Joint Part#s for 2008 and up Honda/Roadsmith Conversion

    Hi All. I'm looking for the U-joint part#s for the 2008 and up Honda Roadsmith conversion with the 6.75" Ford differential. I've found Part# 5-153X (grease-able) for the front, but cannot find any part#s for the rear one at all. Thanks, LJ UPDATE: I found what I was looking for. Please...

    Changed The Pinion Seal Today

    As I stated in other posts, I've had a slight diff pinion leak on my RS for awhile now and decided last night that today I was going to fix it. I let the diff drain overnight. I had bought a new seal awhile back (National 8181NA) and waited till the winter rainy season to do this. Got it up...

    New Madstad Shield for my Trike

    As some of you may, or may not, know; I also have a '15 Honda F6B 2-wheeler that we use for local rides etc. I bought it after the wife made me give up riding my Yamaha crotch rocket....said I was too old and fat to be laid down on a tank, doing wheelies, etc. and was probably gonna end up...

    Slight "Clunk" When Backing Out My Trike

    I had just completely rebuilt my shocks about a week or so ago ('06 GW w/2013 RS) and did a 450 mile shakedown run last week and all went very well....except for every once in a while I could feel a very slight vibration when going 75 mph or higher. At the time, I racked it up to maybe some...

    Burned All the Winter Storage Gas Out

    Well, along with normal maintenance, I rebuilt the front forks on my GW Roadsmith trike over the past couple of weeks while waiting for some nice riding weather. Yesterday was a beautiful cool day here, and a good day to do a shake-down run on the the forks to make sure all was well. The wife...

    Question for former, or current, Valkyrie Owners

    From many of the posts here and conversations I've had with members, I know a lot of members were, or still are, Valkyrie owners. I've got a friend with a mint red/white '97 Tour model with about 8K miles that he would like to unload. He's not real Internet savvy so I promised him I would ask...

    It Can Be Done

    We're back up in Arkansas riding the twisties with some friends this week. I'm on my '06 Wing with a '13 Roadsmith conversion that includes the HD swaybar option. I'm running the Avon Cobra Trike tire on the front. Today, riding 2-up with the wife, I got into a real tight curve doing about 15...

    First Ride of the Season

    After a really wet winter, we finally dried out a little bit this past week. Well, today, we took the cover off the trike and blew the dust off. Unhooked the battery tender and cranked her up for the first ride of the season. It was a nice 82 degrees for most of the day and only had a light...

    IBA SaddleSore 1000 & BunBurner 1500

    Back in October, BayouDave, his friend and I attempted the IBA SaddleSore 1000 and BunBurner1500 runs in a combined 2-day effort. We did the 1000-mile run in 18 hours, and the 1500-miler in 33 hours. Over the weekend, we received an email that the IBA has reviewed all of our submitted data...

    Route Planning Website

    I saw this over on one of the Gold Wing forums. Those guys are usually pretty good critics of this kind of stuff and it was receiving fair reviews. It's a website for motorcycle route planning: http://www.tourstart.org I've been experimenting with it and it looks pretty good. I've put in our...

    Anyone Ever Done an Iron Butt Run via Trike?

    Has anyone here ever used their trike to do any of the beginner Iron Butt runs? IF so, I'd be interested in hearing about the your experiences. I'm thinking about doing the 1000 and the 1500 IBA runs together in one swoop sometime this Fall. I used the past Eureka Springs Rally as a kind of...

    Eureka Springs Goals Accomplished!

    Well, we had several goals we wanted to achieve at the Rally. 1. Meet new friends and have a good time - and that we did!!! 2. Ride some twisties with the trike - and that we did. 3. See the Great Passion Play - and that we did. 4. Long distance run using the flare windshield - worked good...

    Finally Got the Trunk Lid Replaced

    I triked my '06 Wing back in August of this year utilizing a Roadsmith conversion. My wife and I haven't been on it all that much but have managed about 800 miles since the conversion was done. Back in October, we finished about about a 150-mile ride and I raced into the house to use the...

    OK, I think I'm moving into "Phase 2"....

    It's now been the third week with the trike and about 400 miles or so. The first couple of times I rode it (about 24 miles each time), I was totally put out and frustrated with the darn thing. Totally disgusted with myself for "ruining' a perfectly good Wing, I almost went to the Kawi shop and...

    Roadsmith Hitch Draw Bar Length

    Hi, I just recently converted to a Roadsmith trike. I had the nerf bar rear bumper added (see pic below). I did not buy the optional Roadsmith draw bar as I wanted an aftermarket one. My question is: what length draw bar to get. Obviously, it's got to be out past the rear and bumper. Anyone...

    Finally Did It!!!

    Finally got her and put a few miles on. Still trying hard to get used to the conversion. I keep trying to counter-steer and put my feet down...LOL. I've gotten better, but it's really going to take me some time before all comes second nature. And then there is the ribbing I've been taking from...

    Newbie from SW Louisiana

    Hi.<br /> We're from SW Louisiana and just joined this site to primarily search for information about triking out my 2006 Gold Wing. I had no idea how many choices there actually are out there and which one is the best for my wife and I. Right now, I'm leaning towards a Roadsmith, but sure do...
