Hello everyone,new trike owner 86 Goldwing 1200 Aspencade Trike.

[4spen@Proj2]

Trike was a gift so lot of questions. Everything works ok even the air compressor. Previous owner had it for over three years,but never used it that much. Had front end wobble issues.Had new fork bearings replaced,new oil and new front tire. Only has 100 miles on the new tire. Trike kit is unknown,and has an S10 rearend. Need to have someone check the geometrics out on the trike kit. As I first said lot of questions.

Hello & welcome to Trike Talk.
Someone may have made it from an S-10 axle. You most likely need a set of raked triple trees.

I believe what the poster has is a homemade conversion by a very talented individual with welding and machining skills.

Hello & welcome to Trike Talk.
Someone may have made it from an S-10 axle. You most likely need a set of raked triple trees.

I think you are right about set of raked triple trees. Talked to a mechanic at place that would work on an older 86 Goldwing Aspencade 1200. He told with the trike having an S-10 axle the triple would improve the handling. But after telling me that they would do it for me, they later said would not be able to find the parts? Did some research on Ebay , and found a used OEM triple tree set. Don't know if they would be willing to install a used one or not?

What you need is specifically for trikes and sidecar equipped bikes.
These are new and not used standard trees from ebay: Custom Triple Trees - Honda
You might want to go to a salvage yard and find a matched set of S-10 rims.

Thanks for your reply,and the advice on the S-10 rims. Here is the triple tree I found on Ebay.

Did the seller say they were exclusively for trike/sidecar Goldwings. Those look more like OEM and you'd be putting the same set up on your trike and having the same handling issue.
The photo show the difference between OEM & trike version.

Thank you,for your advice,and about the S-10 wheels. Here is the Triple Tree I found on Ebay.

Those are OEM, like shown in the above pic. Unless they are stamped MotorTrike on the top clamp, they would be for a trike. Many many moons ago MotorTrike had a conversion for the GL1200.

MotorTrike GL1200, they do exist.

I asked the seller about the OEM and it would be going a trike,but haven't heard back from him yet. I checked the website you sent to me. I only gave $37 for it shipped.
