    GWRRA Roadside Service Insurance

    2006 GL1800 RoadSmith trike. Cruising down the interstate at 70 mph and the front MPA tire went flat. Tire had only 10,000 miles on it with some minor cupping. The problem turned out to be the metal valve stem leaking at the rubber grommet. I have been riding bikes for 68 years and this is my...

    RS Aux. Gas Tank question:

    I love my Roadsmith 5 gal. auxiliary gas tank! Having said that, I have a question for others with a similar setup: Is it safe to fill the tank with the full five gallons in hot weather or is it likely to expand to the point of overflow through the filler cap? I've been wary of that and...

    Honda VLX w/Voyager kit

    I have zero experience with the Voyager but have heard those same comments many times previously with the Voyager being the chief malefactor of the "training-wheel" kits. I wonder if the rider's feeling of lack of safety or instability is actual or simply perceived as I have not heard of anyone...

    Dyna Beads vs. Ride-On

    I've done a lot of wondering, weighing pros and cons and wasted a lot of time trying to decide which was most important to me: not having a flat or having my tires continuously balanced. Last year I wanted to ride through several western states, far from any support services so flat-prevention...

    My Michelin Pilot Activ Rear/Front Tire Opinions

    At the risk of restating the obvious - car tires and bike tires are different and subject to different forces. On bikes most of the stopping power comes from the front brakes.

    Blind Spot!

    We've all experienced the dangerous blind spot, especially when moving into the passing lane. Our original equipment mirrors just don't have enough of a viewing angle. Accepted practice is to turn your head and look over your shoulder behind you. In tight traffic that's dangerous - your bike...

    Trike finders: Antennas

    In a large, filled parking lot it is sometimes difficult to remember exactly which row you parked your trike in. Fortunately the antennas on the GL1800 are pretty tall and if they were not so thin would be an easy location aid. Other than the usual tennis ball stuck on the tip, does anyone...

    Roadsmith Gas Leak

    I have the Roadsmith conversion with the aux. tank. On two occasions I filled the aux. tank just after transferring all fuel to the main tank. Problem: I forgot to TURN OFF the pump switch the first time and accidentally hit it with my knee the second time. Result: Bike quit after a tenth...

    F4 +2 Windshield installation.

    1. I have ordered an F4 +2 windshield and somewhere I read something about using 2" tape instead of 1", but now I can't find that article. Can someone enlighten me as to the advantage?<br /> <br /> 2. I understand that the tape will be visible, unlike with the OEM shield which is tinted on the...

    Oil CHANGE advice, please.

    Scenario: I changed the filter and oil using Mobil One Motorcycle oil. I then took a 5,299 mile trip through 13 Western states. Upon return to KY I was a Qt low and added Mobil One. Rode for another couple hundred miles. The dip stick shows it is still almost all clear. 1. I check the oil...

    No-Wheels-Trailer

    I really didn’t want the parking hassle of pulling a trailer but still wanted more storage area for a long trip with my 2006 GL1800 Roadsmith trike. I took a long look at the pretty commercial products available and thought about $$$. I needed to make my own and being totally mechanically...

    GPS Anti Theft Device??

    When your GPS (expensive little gadget) is mounted on your bike it would really be a bummer to have it stolen while you enjoy your Happy Meal or are gassing up and visiting the facilities. Sure, you can unmount the thing, unhook it and stick it in your pocket - and then a few minutes later...

    Which glue for windscreen?

    I want to attach a RAM mount to the inside of my GL1800 windscreen without drilling and bolting and am wondering what glue, epoxy, or "weld" to use. The purpose is to mount a Garmin GPS directly over the speedo dial and high enough it will be easy to see without turning my head and looking...
