trike weight

While I don't know the weight, sometimes post offices have ground mounted scales that you could ride up on. Maybe front, then back. I do know my HD TG weights just shy of 1200 lbs.
 
I think the Hannigan trike kit adds about 300lbs to the weight of the bike. Don't know how that compares with Lehman but might be close. Take the weight of the stock Honda, subtract about a hundred lbs for parts that are removed and add 300. Should be close.
My LT weighs about 1200lbs now.
 
I had my 1800 made into the CSC conversion. It always seemed to me that the front end of the engine was too low. I went back to the builder and I told him about it and the first thing out of his mouth was " did you ever think about going on a diet ?" Haven't talked to him since and I got the problem fixed no thanks to him.

Ride safe

I've got a 2004 Wing with a CSC conversion. The installer told me it adds 400 lbs to the bike. You should probably be close to the same

What degree rake did you have installed? That could be a factor
 
FRR it is a 6 degree installed.

Mine is a 6 degree also and I noticed that the bike sits a little lower and I need ed to adjust my headlight accordingly. When that front fork moves out it drops that bike somewhat. I haven't had a problem with it as of yet, but raising that bike could get a little pricey.
 
I had the same problem on an 02 1800 with a Motor Trike kit with aqua shields and 6° rake. Drug on everything till I had fork extensions put on. It raised the front up about 2" which made all the difference in the world.
