OK, here we go....The wife and I are trading/selling the Harley Ultra Classic and going to a GW trike. I'm leaning towards a brand of trike kit but want some honest answers to some questions. I don't want to mention the brand I'm looking at so as not to bias the answers. I think all the major trike kits are good and the choice comes down to looks more than anything, however, it's a lot on money and I want to do this only once....I also know that most love the kit they have and are very proud ( rightfully so) of their trike. If you don't want to answer in this forum, please e-mail me with your answers. We had a Champion Trike, 2002, and I didn't like it. I didn't have the steering kit installed, and thay may be the biggest reason that I didn't care for it, I was worn out at the end of the day, plus, I don't think I was ready to give up the leaning in curves, well I'm ready now. SO.....here's the questions and what I'm looking for in a trike:
1.-I'm looking for a PLUSH ride, something very comfortable for the wife and I to ride several hundres miles each day. I put a lot of miles on my bikes each year, they are made to ride...
2.- Easy steering. I know most of the ez steer/power trac Etc..will give me an "power steering" effect, but does the kit make a difference in the steering.
3. Maintenance, which kit will give me the most trouble free miles. There has been mention of a "disk" replacement in the CSC...Is this really a big deal or just routine maintenance.
4. Accessories, does one kit over another limit you to accessories, yeah, I'm a chrome/geegaw nut.
5. Fit and finish, are most of the major kits fit/finish good ( I think so)
6. If you had it to do over, money was no object ( no I'm not wealthy) would you change kits or stay with the same one. I know its hard to say, gee I wish I'd have gone with brand X over brand Y, but please give it a shot.
7. Storage space and ease of getting into the trunk.
Like I said, I only want to do this once and be happy, so if you all can help me out and give me some guidence in picking out a trike kit I would be very thankful....the 07 Blue has caught my eye....
Thanks All
