hi guys and gals

a little back ground on my first csc trike.

i had a friend of 35-40 years he past away from covid , his wife wanted me to help sell his 2005 road glide i asked her what she wanted for it she told me ,i took the cash to her. then i thought i will trike it so called a friend that ran a trike shop and the kit was bought/ installed on the road glide..

the twin cam motor is a 107 with ss lower end with 585 cam-will be changing cam i think we will see zipper did head work. now i am installing a custom front end racked trees with 49mm 2'' over tubes, fox springs and 2021 ultra limited lower legs.. think i will use intiminators in this too what do you think??

Sorry you lost your dear friends,

The road glide will make a great trike. Did you have CSC install a rake - my 2021 has an 11 deg rake. Also, consider the running boards.

Send us some pictures.
 
thanks for the reply

i just installed triple tree 2-3 days ago 11 degree is what i have on my side car rig so that's what i used on trike.

i have not completed front end upgrade yet-still waiting for negative springs and intiminators . i have road it a few miles with stock 2005 front end with just myself it handled fine but with passenger on it made it much harder to steer. I will post some pic when i can..

reverse problems

hi all

well csc now has electric reverse with a soft start not sure that's what they call it ,,,anyway i have used it 6-8 times and now it engages but reverse motor wont start. the input voltage is 13 volts to magic box the output is 6 volts to starter,, solenoid pulls in but not working 6 volts to starter . i put my starter box on starter stud and ground side to neg. terminal. started engine. put transmission in neutral, push in switch to activate the revere and trike backs up....

so all i come up with is magic box is shot any one have this problem?? just wondering

Just a shot in the dark here…. but when I had trouble with the reverse mode on my Triglide , It was always the brushes that gummed up. I would have to pull the motor clean the brushes reset them maybe you have the same problem hopefully this helps.

If you can get to the reverse motor give it a few good raps/taps and if it works normally then it’s the brushes..

I think the new CSC reverse is great. It starts out slow and then increases with time. This way you are not jerking the bike.

OK, when you put the bike in reverse, make sure noting electrical, like the turn signal or hazard lights are on. If they are, the reverse will not engage.
