Intro fs23454

I'm new to the Silverwing and from past experience with forums and the expertise available, I'm a new member and looking for to enjoying my new to me 07ABS/ GT3trike kit.

I went with the triked bike for a few reasons and enjoy so far.

Honda of Norfolk from Cameron? If so my wife owned that scooter. Either way welcome!

Welcome fs23454 to the BEST SWing forum on the net.
I have an 08 SWing with the GT3 kit on it. I did that about 4 years ago and have no regrets.
It does take a little getting used to but after that it's GREAT!!

Do you have the 4 1/2 degree rake kit on your Trike?

We didn't do the Motor Trike slacker angle tree conversion on ours. My wife had a trike prior to the Swing conversion and the wobble when going slow didn't spook her. That being said I should have just because I pulled the tree and repacked the headset bearings because I was in there and why not? But we didn't and had no regrets. What part of Virginia are you in? I think my wifes old Motor Triked Swing went to NC.

Yes I do. It rides nice. It was recommended to me by another SWing owner.

I agree on the ride. I have a Goldwing trike and wouldn't even think of not have a rake kit on a trike. Thanks for the input.
One other question that may raise some more questions. are you running the standard front tire or, as done with heavier trikes, running the rear tire on the front rim? And will the standard rear tire fit on the front rim?

I'm still using the SWing original front tire. Not sure about using the back tire.

Does it look.like this?, and yes, from Cameron at Honda of Norfolk.

Yes. You can't see mine quite as good but it's the same.
