Well, I got the 04 goldwing trike out of the shop today about noon.
It was about 40 degrees and pretty windy.
It took me about 1 1/2 blocks to get used to the steering and I'm so glad I did it. Even at a normal intersection it is so much easier to get around the corner and even at highway speeds it is so much easier to control.
I noticed when I rode the demo the other day it was kinda whippy but then I realized I was causing it. I quit fighting it and it rode like a dream.
I went with the 5.5 degree and i'm convinced I made the right choice. It even turns easier at parking lot speeds and will turn a lot sharper if you want or need it to.
The only problem I have now is tomorrow's high is supposed to be about 42 and Sunday isn't going to be much better so I guess it will have to sit and wait for better weather.
I sure appreciate all the info that I was able to gather from everone on the forum. It made it a lot easier to make the decision.
If anyone is considering a rake, I say go for it you will be glad you did.
