I did pick the bike up used, and i think i can resell it for what i payed for it
sombody on the site here said to buy a used one to see if you like the wing. At 130mph with heated hand grips you can't get any beater then that.
and with a Yellow one at 100mph i will b e looking like i'm doign 130;)

ok:coffee1: I'M up:coffee1: and i see once again the folks on the board would show me the way. I could ask witch kit should i get but that would open a can of worms:eek:4: their is a Lehman shop here in portland that eveybody say is a great shop. and what i have seen it's all about the shop, I think like anything, once you get use to it you don't notice the extra bump
Great job on info

THANKS AGAIN,

Now that I see everybody is looking out for my welfare, I only ran the bike up there just long enough to hit 130, things do go by in a blur. On my HD I run round 70mph
But I can see on the wing you need to be checking your speed at 80 she so smooth and when SO starts looking over I will have to drop here back down to 65mph to keep the pain out of my side!!!!!
But I don’t have to tell you guy’s
It looks like I need to give a little more info,
I pick this 07 ABS GW with 1500 mile on for $16,000 with some add on options, Sign of the times, If I had pay new bike price then it would be a easy chose, I would trike it,
But if I can get my $16000 back, and put it on a new 09 trike with the nav. I would be out about the same money
Sorry about not giving enough Info.

Ok IrHarry I'm not trying to spend any more then i have too:eek:4:, Just trying to make sure i have the right setup when i pull that rollahome:shock: and be safe with my SO on the back;) If we had more builders here in the area i would Just kit the 07,but like you said there's not a lot of people here in the area, More then I like but not enough to keep 4 or 5 builders in buisness// we do have Lehman builder here in Portland, but for some reson I like the sound of the CSC, and that may because on this site there are more CSC owners here.. but with HD putting the Lehman under their bike they may know somthing
I will go over and check out the wingmen

Well i see you guy’s have been hard at it today helping me out, I was off trying to come up with a way to pay for all this (pickup pop cans is tuff):wrong:
If there were more builders here in Portland it would be a lot easier and that’s why I’m looking at one already built, it sounds like the shop over in AK is a good shop
But If I take $16k and it looks like I can get a kit for about the 16k with a few option
The one I’m looking at they are asking 35k CSC cobra with up grade brakes plus
Travel $ 1000 so I would be in the new for 36k compared to 32K
So is the $ 4000 savings worth the two year newer trike, I have my roll-a-home priced Out that 4000 would almost pay for the trailer,
Now I just have to find a builder I do like the CSC Kit, Not that I have rode one but I just Like the way it’s built:joke:

FlashG

that would be great, to check it out,
Did you buy the bike finshed or did you have it built;)
It looks like the best thing to do is have the big blue built
Now just find a CSC builder,

*******, Going up a year model or two wont change the way it will pull the Roll-A-Home !!! When it is Triked that in it self will make it more stable with a load of any type. As far as cost goes a MT is one of the least costly, and has the On the Fly Air Ride system that can be adjusted with out stopping.

Not knocking Lehman, but what makes you think that HD knows something that the rest doesn't????? I think that Lehman started with the HD kits and has close ties with the powers to be there.
Geogre
Your right,
I see you and IRHarry both have the same setup/ trike and Rollahome
and more i read i'm think you guys have a good setup, i will give the builder out of Grantpass a call,

And on the HD info that i read on the HD &Lehman they did a lot of testing to make sure the trike was safe
