Pawn In The Game Of Life
Pat,
Actually, after reading this and other threads/posts from the OP not really sure what the true intention or real goal for it all is. All seems to be both repetitive and conflicting when taken in entirety. Oh well... maybe I'm just easily confused :Shrug:
To Definitively answer the question "Has my GL1800 Trike been Triple-Tree modified?" :
**For GEN I (2001-2010)**
Measure the distance from the leading point of the lower timing cover cowl to the rear-most surface of the front FENDER.
The distance on a stock OE 2001-2010 GL1800 will be right at 1.5 inches.
A Steering Angle/Trail modified (Triple-Tree changed) GL1800 will have an approx. 3-3.25 inch (depending on whether 4.5* or 6*) distance at that same point.
**For GEN II (2012 & Up)**
Measure from leading point of the lower timing cover cowl to the rear-most surface of the front TIRE.
The distance on a stock OE 2012 & Up GL1800 will be right at 1.375 inches.
Safe to assume that a Steering Angle/Trail modified (Triple-Tree changed) GEN II will add about 1.5-1.75 inches to make a the modified measurement approx. 3 inches as well.
Hope this helps.
Now we can let Mr. Ed Rest In Peace.
