She like the CSC conversions
Well Ron, you have answered your own question.
We men all know, “When Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” Conversely, “When Mama’s happy, Papa’s happy.”
I don’t think you could go too wrong with any kit,
providing you have a good installer. You will notice from the poll however, that CSC is leading with Champion nipping at our heels.
Having said that – the following comments are MY opinion – so you other folks don’t get you panties in a knot when you read this. It’s MY (maybe not so humble) opinion.
My wife and I rode a year and 12,000 miles on our Wing before having it converted to a CSC last March. We think it is simply the best trike going – period.
The ride of the CSC is very comfortable. The Independent Rear Suspension is a big factor in that but also the extended wheelbase putting the rear axle behind the passenger’s back.
The handling is unbelievable. And you won’t believe me until you ride one for a while. You will be able to take the curves faster than you ever rode a Wing on 2 wheels. Wilson told me before I got mine that it was “A real curve carver.” Ken L. rode with a group of 2 wheelers and was riding so fast his front tire was smoking. My wife and I rode the Dragon last June (14:42 from the overlook to the store). When we rolled into the parking lot at the store, the smell of burning rubber wafted up. It was sooooo cool!!!!
As to the running boards (ground effects). No, they are not rated for weight bearing like the Lehman and some others but they won’t break off if you happen to stand on them. Anyway if you did stand on them, you would scratch the paint and you don’t want to do that. The best thing about them is they provide a “finished” look to the Cobra. The Cobra looks good without them, it just looks better with them. Also, I like to take my feet off the pegs when cruising and put them in the board’s foot wells. It is very comfortable.
You definitely want the steering kit. Period. And get the 3 ½ gallon auxiliary tank too.
And get the new optional wheels. They match the front wheel and are beautiful.
I could go on and on but I’ll stop here so as not to overwhelm you. Email me if you can handle more.
