Talked with the folks at CSC today and they are putting in a large amount of effort in getting the rake correct for the new 2018 Goldwing Touring given the complexity of the double wishbone front suspension and how it is going to interact with a change in rake.
They are also using their expert engineering consultants to insure the the integrity of the retrofit u-fork they will be manufacturing for the new bike/Encore ensemble and how it will interact with the new Honda design. They are also paying close attention to fuel requirements and are addressing these issues in their design meetings.
My impression of the new Honda and it's many new features is presenting significant design challenges for our aftermarket trike manufacturers and it appears that CSC is working hard to integrate as many of the bikes inherent upgrades into their trike packages. Clearly a task for expert and experienced folks like CSC.
