Greetings
We live on a gravel road plus 1/2 mile muddy drive way
Having tried a 1800 Wing without EZ stear I didn't like it,
but this 41/2 degree angle was a pleasant surprise..03 Champ solid Axle.
We drove over the top of Lk Mi Mac bridge 2 days ago in 50 mph winds
to get the dragon home. Can't wait for our favorite sandy trails in Utah.
Much we dont know except Im so impressed with everything about the Wing.
I didn't know when I used Wingit handle, as a pilot and making WingitCalls
I would have a Wing trike.. Never owned a forn car, but this is cool.
Happy Day

Great..So its OK to fly our American flag on my wing ? Its not a counter conundrum ?..The proffit goes to Japan when assembled here ?..like kubota assembled here.
As a Toolmaker since 1970, Im disappointed to see all the ForN cars trucks
sleds and china junk flooding our country. We all have a chink vice grip we want to throw in the lake , as the soft Phony steel thread fails on the second use. Our Gumnt has failed us in trying to keep dangerous unsafe junk imports out of OUR country. USA is invaded for the new socialistic world melting pot of trash. My friend had a chink trailer hitch ball bend and break off, came through the back window and smashed and ruined his hand forever, could have killed him. You can strip the threads off a china ball hitch easily, as its inferior and loose dimensions. Its just a small example of whats happening. But not small if your family is unsafe.
Think about all the trailers on the road ready to fall off and hit you on the bike.
We have seen good import products, but we also see the china scams.
I ride a BMW, but 3rd gen German American so I heard its OK.
all of my family are ww1+2+Nam vets
happy day
 
The paint code under the fuel lid is R274M I always wanted a red truck or bike, stuck with the white truck, but found the bike.. Thanks for the well wishes.

I know what you are saying.I have always tried to buy American products,although I have a goldwing it is made here.Now that being said,I have changed my mind after my last car.I thought I was buying a American made car,and what I got was china made junk.I paid a lot of money for it and later figured out that although it was a American car most of the electronics,engine ,transmission ,bearings,door locks,were all made in China.They all had problems.I have figured out if I want a American made car I should buy a honda or Toyota or the like.Now I think differently.
 
We live in Utah so when you head out this way let us know and we will try to meet you somewhere.

Thanks for posting the pictures, it is really pretty.
 
Good looking ride you have. It's hard to beat red and Goldwing has several colors of red that in the sun really pops with either gold or silver under tone. My old Goldwing was red and the two trikes we ride with are both red and they both are great looking trikes.
 
Full Time RV ?

I guess a guy could full time RV with this ?
The dragon wagon could be converted to a traveling shiner still.
Allot of homeless people could be happy doing it.
Oh Oh,The oil looks dirty brown for 4k miles.
Maybe the air filter is original with 24k
And I here its a pain to change that.
happy day

New Trike convert happiness fading fast

New Trike convert happiness fading fast. Its an 03 week frame.

I don't have confidence seeing how honda is cheating trike owners of repair re call.

On another issue.

One can still find USA bearings, you just ask for it.

I recently did a did my Dodge diesel rear, and a discbine with USA brgs.

U joints and shafts made in Wis. are cheaper than china junk. I recently did that.

happy day
 
May I suggest for your own comfort just have a local shop re-enforce it much like Honda would. It can not cost that much for your peace of mind.
 
Happy Again

Thanks to Moon Motors all brands Mn.
Im feeling better visiting Earl Moon, the best mechanic I see for many years.
My frame was re welded years ago where the welds were lite from Honda.
Being new to Wings, I asked to check it out, and check the anti dive valve, stuck.
The brake fluid was old and dirty, thats not Honda's fault. Some people are cheap.
The brake re call might include all wings. I left with new master Cyls and flushed again.
Then I found trike dealer who did 600+ kits and he saw almost no crack problems.
If your trike wasn't re welding when this was news, A local Tig welder can save the bike.
We are looking forward to traveling with the Dragon wagon.
Happy Day
