I
could possibly take a Goldwing in on trade with low miles only or even a
Harley Ultra. PLEASE understand trade in means trade in, not retail value. Currently I'm not a licensed motorcycle dealer so the
bike is sold person to person , TTL will be up to the buyer in Texas or
in your own state. The conversion kit is Dealer Installed and warranty is included.
Not easily seen in pictures this is a 2002 bike and has been more of a outside bike so some things look like it.
Independent Rear Suspension
The
smooth ride of the Roadsmith HTS1800 is a result of our innovative
suspension system that offers a ride like no other trike. Roadsmith was
the first to offer Independent Suspension for trike conversions over 20
years ago. The cynics said it would never work. They’re eating those
words today. Talk to anyone who has actually ridden an
Independent-rear-suspension trike and a solid-axle system trike for a
period of time and ask them which one rode better. You can’t deny
independent-rear-suspension is the way manufacturers of cars, SUV’s and
ATV’s are going. Trikes are no different. These trikes are built with a
purpose - “Touring in comfort”.
The multi-point mount of the
chassis to the bike frame actually strengthens the bike's frame as well
as dissipates the added stress of a trike. We attach at existing
mounting points on the frame. For example, on the HTS1800 we use the
crash bar mounts and the shock mount. A feature of the trailing arm type
independent suspension is the fact that there are very few moving
parts. There are literally only two pivot points on each trailing arm.
This eliminates any adjustments or maintenance requirements. There are
more complicated ways to design a suspension, but why?
True Track Stabilizer Bar
The
stabilizer bar, also known as a sway bar, is a flexible link between
the two trailing arms. The bar uses the torsion effect to always try to
keep the trike righted or sitting square to the ground. The beauty of
the stabilizer bar is the fact that when one wheel hits a bump, the bar
can flex quickly to absorb the movement, then return. This is the same
technology used in almost every vehicle today. Just think if you had “no
lean” suspension. That means your trike is always perfectly square to
the ground. In effect, if you go over a 2” bump with your right wheel,
the trike rocks up 2”. With Independent Suspension, just that wheel goes
up. The antiquated solid axle system is only made today because it’s
cheaper and easier. Technology has improved a lot in the short history
of trike conversions but some are too stuck in their ways. Others are
jumping on board with IRS now, but none can copy our history, longevity
and reliability.
Longer Wheelbase
We increase the
wheelbase 8". This puts the rear wheels back behind the passengers’
seat area rather than sitting right on top of the wheels. Any vehicle
that has a longer wheelbase will have a smoother ride, it’s just common
sense. As an added benefit, the differential being farther back reduces
the driveshaft angle.
Shaft Driven Differential
Our
differential is constructed from standard automotive ring and pinion
gear sets. The original application of our differential was a Ford car.
We cut down this brand new cast iron housing and make an Independent
Suspension differential out of it. The components inside it are all
brand new including the 2.93:1 ratio ring and pinion. We keep the
speedometer correct with that ratio and tire diameter.
Disc Brakes
Large
disc brakes more than handle the stopping of this trike. Remember
trikes stop faster and easier than bikes. With more tire contact area
and much better stability, braking a trike is not the white knuckled
balancing act that a bike can be. The wheel bearings, calipers and
rotors are all right from a high production automobile application known
as the
VW Beetle. Like all of our constructed drive train, everyday parts are off the shelf for your convenience.
Heavy Duty Driveshaft
We
manufacture a completely new driveshaft built from full size sealed
automotive u-joints and a 2” tube. These are the same components used
in full sized cars and trucks. We figure if that design can hold up in
those heavy vehicles it should have no problems with a trike
application.
Heavy Duty CV Joints
The
axles are custom made for our conversion kits, but the constant
velocity (CV) joints are standard automotive applications such as VW and
Porsche. We use automotive type parts for all of our drive train
because it’s designed for a much heavier load, meaning these parts will
probably last forever in this light duty application. Again, using off
the shelf parts for your convenience.
Alloy Wheels
The
Alloy wheels that come with our conversion kits are clear-coated
aluminum rims that have a similar look and finish to the bikes front
rim. They are a 16x7”, 5x4 1/2 bolt pattern with a positive 35mm offset
size that fits many automotive applications. We offer a Chrome plated
option also.
Storage Compartment
The
large storage compartment comes completely carpeted to both protect and
store your riding gear. The trunk (5.5 cubic feet) has about twice the
capacity of the stock saddlebags. This gives you a larger space to fit
larger objects like coolers, helmets, etc into. The large trunk door
opening also allows for easier packing or loading. The release for the
right saddlebag under the tour pack is now used to release the latch for
the trunk. We also use the "open saddlebag" indicator to show on the
dash if the trunk isn't closed completely. You won't see any fancy
hinges to close into our storage area or bind up someday. We incorporate
a simple hinge and sturdy wire line to handle the job. This convenient
trunk will fit all your gear securely away from the elements.
Factory Styled Body
The
slick body design incorporates the look and feel of the original
motorcycle. We feel the trike conversion body should melt seamlessly
into the original body parts. The body is constructed of heavy-duty
fiberglass. It is then painted with urethane paint, flat sanded, and
buffed to a mirror finish to ensure a perfect paint match both in color
and finish. The mounting system for the body ensures a rock solid
attachment and no exposed mounting hardware. Notice the added foot room
for the passenger, another feature of a longer wheelbase.
(Note: Paint integraded side panels not included)
Trailer Hitch
With
any touring machine a trailer hitch is a familiar sight. When riding a
trike, a trailer is not a danger like it is on a bike. The back of a
trike will never feel like there’s a trailer behind it. We include a 1
1/4” receiver for a trailer hitch neatly tucked under the body. It is
incorporated into the rear body support and is welded directly into the
strongest part of our frame. This is not an option or add-on, it’s built
right in. It is another one of the innovative ideas built right into
the design of our trike kit.
Warranty
The
Trike Shop has an unparalleled history of customer service and
satisfaction and we put it in writing, with the best warranty in the
market. Your trike comes with a full 3 year or 1,000,000 mile warranty
on the entire trike kit. We can offer this because we know with over 16
years of producing this type of conversion kit, we do it right the first
time.
