Goldwing trikes

[lennyt]

Yo fellow Goldys,

I am seriously thinking of converting my 04 Goldwing to a three wheel trike.

My back is shot, as are my rheumatic knees, not to mention other stuff.

Your feedback on the pros and cons would be much appreciated.

As I live on the Gold Coast of Queensland, where might I go to get a trike conversion?

Regards Lenny t.

Lenny,
Got the same issues you do, along with two scrawny legs that I don't want to depend on holding up 1000lbs of motorcycle plus me and the co-rider. I'm having a friend/mechanic trike my 2008 1800 right now. Wished you were closer to WA state, he could do it.
Best of luck, blackbird

Just getting ours done at Threedom Wheels now. Go and pick it up at 4pm today.
Hilton has done a really good job despite multiple problems starting with the build in America.
Got the CSC Cobra XL kit with extra fuel tank, ground effects runners, and rear light bar.
Looks really good now with the 17" directional wheels.

Well its 2007 Dark Orange metallic. Seems it is a very difficult colour to match as it can fade and change between different bikes. So although the paint code is the same, the tone can be different - or so they said. Seems they had to repaint it several times to match the tank door I had to send them as a colour match.
Hilton normally says 8 to 10 weeks from order to delivery. A friend said his took 12. Mine has taken 22 weeks - we ordered first week in May.
Anyway it finally got boxed and on a 4 week cruise down under. When it arrives and is unboxed, they find something has broken the extremely flimsy crate it was sent in and the paintwork is scratched on the wheel, back boot door and one of the ground effects runners. So off to the painters here who managed to get this very difficult paint from Honda, patched and perfectly resprayed in a day and a half.
The build here went well aside from a few hiccups. The radio would not work which turned out to be a flat battery. Then the fuel guage did not work, but in the end all was good.

I had been thinking of doing the same to my 04.
Being retired and money being kinda tight I thought of going with the attaching kind where there would be 4 wheels instead of the 3.
Here's a site. Tell me what you think.
