Trike in the Queue

[Kempjd623]

Good morning all
I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my trike. I took it straight from the dealership to the CSC factory by trailer. There are a few builds in front of mine so it is looking like it will be ready by the end of June or early July.

Exciting Times!!

Awesome! My brother (ironhorse54) and I rode our 21 Goldwings to the factory last October and converted. What year is your trike?

Kempjd623,

You're going to love your new trike! I have a 2018 Honda Gold Wing Tour Air Bag Model with a 2023 CSC Encore conversion. I took delivery the end of August 2023. Prior to ordering my build, I too visited CSC in Arrington and was given the grand tour by Dwight. I was so impressed with the factory set up, I decided to go with CSC and placed my build order with Pat of Ace Trikes in Harrington, Delaware. Pat did a fantastic job with the conversion and I am very pleased.

Last week I took my first ride of any real distance from NJ to Myrtle Beach for the Spring Bike Week. On the way down I ran into rain of biblical proportions, and my trike handled all that Mother Nature could throw at her. Next month I am headed north up to Laconia, NH for their 101st Bike Rally and i am so looking forward to the trip..

I am very pleased with my purchase, and I think you will be too! Good Luck and Ride Safe!

Hi NJ Mike
Yes I'm James. It may be another build. Mine is scheduled to start near the end of the month. Of course, it would not hurt my feelings if they get to me early. Can't wait!

Hey, Kemp. NJ Mike and I saw your bike as CSC as he has posted because we saw your name on the bike. I’m sure they’re in the process of building your kit as we speak. Beautiful bike.

Should be a beauty! Good Luck with the build...

I ordered my CSC Daytona conversion kit on March 1st and now are on our 4th revised "estimated ship date" from CSC, so they have proven not to be a reliable manufacturer when it comes to providing quality customer information.

I ordered via my dealer on March 1st. A few days after my order went in, my dealer was told est ship date of May 3rd.. then, on May 14th was told would ship by the 17th........
then on the 21st was told it was still waiting for parts and it will be the end of May. Now yesterday was told they are expecting to get rear end gears in around June 7th.

So my experience has made me concerned with their poor manufacturing inventory control. Not sure if they are one of those silly "just in time" inventory manufacturers or is it they are using inefficient vendors.

But it sure is a poor way to build a good customer service reputation thus far for me.

 

[trike lady]

The company not only builds units for in-house conversions but for dealers as well. Spring and summers is when orders ramp up from dealers. Also keep in mind that if the trike body is being painted in-house that takes time also. Most people don't realize the best time to do a conversion is in the fall and winter months.

Also keep in mind that businesses are having a rough time finding people that want a job.

Great feedback. Thank you. I just have to wait my turn. I feel like a kid a couple of weeks before Christmas

 

[DaveL]

Yep, all valid points trike lady. "but" .......... you are ignoring the facts that all those factors and info is what the manufacturer has in mind when they determined estimated ship date. My prior research convinced me they were the manufacturer I wanted. Note I did not ask how quick you could do it I asked when is your estimated ship date for my order after it was sent in and they had a week to come up with the estimated date. Total lack of accurateness and then no follow up communications or sake of apology = my concern of poor customer service attitude.

Wow that's good to know! Sorry for the late response but yes if you saw my name on, it that's all good news to me.

Someone asked if I was from New Jersey, No I live in Fredericksburg VA.

Hang in there, James.

It's worth the wait!!!!

 

[Kempjd623]

Update:
I took delivery of the trike yesterday. I'll get some pictures up soon. I beat the rain home but I did run into some wet roadways so I need to clean it up a bit before I post the first pictures.

There is a picture of it on the CSC owner's Facebook page. I don't have fb so I haven't seen that one. I think it's of me on the trike on the showroom floor.

With that said, I named it the Dragon and I am.....

Wait for it......

It's wonderful! It's a smooth ride and it handles great with the CSC rake kit. It was about a three-hour ride home and it was a lot of fun. I want to thank my wife for driving me down so I can ride back and my friends that met me at CSC and rode back with me.
