Tom's New Goldwing DCT Trike Conversion

Tom came to us looking for a complete trike touring setup. He was looking for a brand new automatic Goldwing DCT, an independent suspension trike kit, and a trailer to pull behind it.

During the planning stages of Tom’s build, we suggested he order the Goldwing from our friends at Sport Cycle. After some research and discussions with UNB, he decided on Roadsmith’s independent suspension HTX 1800 trike kit.

Once we received the Goldwing and the trike kit, we got to work on the conversion.

As always with trikes built at UNB Customs, we replaced the front end and installed the steering kit which provides much easier steering of the trike.

The Goldwing’s entire rear end gets removed so that the new Roadsmith HTX kit can be installed on the bike’s frame.

Once the trike kit is installed on the frame, we can fit the trike body on the kit to the bike to align side panels for optimal fitment before painting.

The body is taken to the body shop to be prepped, primed, and painted. Once it’s painted to match the bike we get the lights, trim, and carpeting installed on the body before it gets bolted on the trike kit.

After we installed the body, it was time for some of the custom accessories for Tom. He decided to upgrade to a Saddleman seat with color-matching stitching. You can also see the additional padding for the extra passenger seating room provided by the Roadmsith kit. The HTX allows for an additional 3” of space.

He added chrome adjustable high way pegs from Kuryakyn. The wheels were dressed up with a logo center plate and chrome trim around the wheel well.

Tom did his homework for what accessories he wanted on his new ride. Goldstrike phone holder, throttle wing, grips, LED saddlebag lights, Honda luggage rack with a Pathfinder LED light, Kisan back off lights and path blazer head light, Kuryakyn driver and passenger foot boards and a pair of American flags mounted on the luggage rack. A Bushtec trailer made this unit complete. You should see Tom and Roxanne riding in Pennsylvania! But you may find them touring in many other states.

The finish unit came out amazing!

We also happened to come across someone selling a trailer that matched perfectly to round out his setup! Tom picked up his trike and has returned to Pennsylvania. Enjoy it Tom!
