Convince me

Thinking of upgrading from my '96 GL1500/Motor Trike to a 2002 GL1800/Champion

I'd keep the 1500.

That would be my choice as well, but not my choice, do what your heart tells ya.

My supervisor ((wife)) wasn't comfortable on the 1500, so we opted for a '08 GL18P Roadsmith which she likes much better.

I never had a problem with the Road Smith warranty, which, If I recall, is 2 years and a million miles, or some such. My aux pump motor failed, no problem, they took care of it. I'm guessing your post refers to the warranty period.

Champion kits

I was refering to the Champion kits. The Independent kit for the GL1800 is a total screw up. No place to adjust camber, constantly excessive tire wear. It is not really an Independant suspension due to the solid anti roll bar fitted between the two hubs. It only makes it to act as a solid axle and by removing it, it rides very soft but then the shocks is under capable stabilizing the trike. So stay away from IRS for the Goldwing type.

Not sure I understand the comment, but that's OK, I don't need to.
