Your trike looks great in the assembly pictures - love the color. Did you get it back yet or did I miss the "It's Finished" post.
Have fun, ride safe! :wave4:

We just lost a great trike installer in the central Kentucky area. Bob Morton of Morton Motorsports in Louisville recently sold the business and retired. I great guy who did good work.
Thank you for your help, I know after I get it home I will go completely over every thing
with more scrutiny to se if I see anything. The dealer is little over an hour away, not far to return it If I find problems. The only problem my friend has encountered on his trike is a leaking trunk door he discovered after getting caught in a downpour.
I would certainly ask somebody why they charged me $325 to use my own parts and they better have a real good answer.
BTW that is a really pretty trike and I am not a real fan of Yellow,but that is nice.
Chances since they're a dealer you will be fine; particularly since you had a good recommendation from someone you trust.
What to look for before you take delivery:
Quality of any paint work done
Look for loose fasteners everywhere they worked; rear kit, rake kit, Fork axle pinch bolts, etc.
Check clearance between rear wheels and fenders to be sure they got the kit centered correctly
Be sure they put the center brace under the wing boards if you got them.
Check that "trunk open" warning flashes in dash if either trunk door, upper and lower, are left open. Some dealers don't hook it up and all they have to do is plug in the two pin connecter from the new lower truck and old right saddlebag "open" connection. If the lower trunk is open the warning should flash for the right saddlebag since that's the connector they use.
Double check lug nut torque.
Check tire pressure.
Check brakes on test drive to be sure they bled them correctly and brakes have firm feel and not mushy. Remember, new pads on rear will have to break-in so they will either feel very grabby at first (if they used the EBC Yellowstuff pads) or may feel weak if standard pads are used. Don't be afraid to ask about it.
Aux fuel tank? If you got this, then fill it and check at first opportunity to be sure it's transferring fuel correctly and that there are no leaks.
Chances are you will find very little wrong from a dealer. But, humans are working on it so pay attention. You have a great warranty from Roadsmith and they do back it up professionally so don't be afraid to use it. If anyone gives you any flack about warranty then call Roadsmith directly.
Enjoy! I love my Roadsmith and think you will too. Lots of smiles an miles. epper:
