*NEW* What did you do to Your HONDA GOLDWING TRIKE today?

[Papa Zook]

It's time for a Honda trike-specific thread. So, what did you do to (or with, since they require very little work) your Honda Trike today?

NJ Mike and I went to CSC yesterday and had them install fender bras. That’s the only thing I’ve done since I triked it out in October 2023.

It’s my first bra. It has great support but soft and padded. And I’m proud to show it!

 

[Ironhorse54]

I was going to install these bras myself, but then I remembered I don’t put bras on, I just take them off! Lol.

Having done all I can, the trike is running fine,now giving 40 to the gallon, so thought I might buy a second one, looking at a 2002 GL 1800

Yep.. I'm there too. I pickup my 2007 Hannigan conversion in about 3 weeks, so for now I'm just making notes in my trip planner.

Well for starters, I installed FOBO TPMS sensors, MBL risers, Kuryakyn drivers pegs, exchanged the 6" arms on the Kury highway pegs for mini arms, a 3 port USB powerport in the front left pocket, a Kuryakyn fork brace, replaced the foot brake lever for a Kuryakyn with the wide pedal, 2 duplicate ignition keys, mounted the EZ GPS Mount holder on the windshield vent, and more. Oh, so much more with details to be coming very soon...

Oh my - so many things since picking up my CSC conversion little over a month ago. I ordered and installed fender bras (brasfortrikes.com - very happy w/ the finished product) to start. Currently applying PPF to strategic areas of the 'ground effects' since there is so much potential to put your feet in painted areas of the ground effects. Other items: handle bar lifts, cowl lights, fork lights, Panavista extended side mirrors w/ turn signal and numerous other things. Excess perhaps but, it's my baby and she deserves everything.

NJ Mike and I also had a friend install handlebar risers last fall. Identical to Heli bars except we got them at Amazon for $45.

Me and the wife went to lunch on it..

Added speedbleeders to my Goldwing on upper left front caliper, lower right front caliper, ADV, and the 8 needed for the rear CSC calipers. I will add the lower left front and upper right front very soon. These things work like a charm. Almost forgot, I also added a Bluetooth receiver from Electrical Connections so I can play MP3 tunes or stream Pandora to the trike stereo.

And much more to come!!! Might be able to post about it tomorrow!

How many speedbleeders do you need for the whole trike?

 

[pwhoever]

How many speedbleeders do you need for the whole trike?

5 for the front. Upper and lower right and left calipers and then 8 for the rear 2 CSC calipers. 4 on each side. The Goldwings have linked brakes and both front calipers are linked to the back which explains why 2 bleeders on each front caliper. And then the left fork has an Anti Dive Valve which is also connected to the braking system. There is one other that I could add a speedbleeder, the clutch bleeder. But you can actually gravity bleed that so a speedbleeder really isn't necessary.

And thanks to Randy and his helper Bert, just around 11:00 P.M., my new trike was completed!!! It was too dark to take photos. I will have some to post tomorrow morning!!!

 

[Panel Man]
