GTR 1400 Trike in South Wales

Hi

Thanks for the links, I will make some calls

Welcome aboard.

Speak to these people about their Leading Link front suspension.

Either way, cheap it ain't! 

I have spoken to a few companies.
There does not appear to be a cheap option, but having spent what I have there is no point having something which is not perfect so....

Hedinghamsidecars - Richard clearly knows what he is talking about, very helpful and happy to answer all my questions. I am very tempted to order a set of leading link forks from him, the only issue at the moment is he will need to see the trike to measure the front end as he has never done forks for a 1400GTR before, which for me will be 4 1/2 hours riding, 30 mins measuring, then 4 1/2 hours home again....
I have pm messaged a fellow member who is near him in the hope he can ride over for him to make the measurements

Once this job, and the exhaust is done I will post a load of pictures.

You've hit the nail on the head Richard, The bike is your pride and joy, so if you would feel better with further modification then go ahead and have it done 

The way I see it is that it's an investment in the machine as well as an improvement to its handling/riding characteristics

Hi

I got around to fitting this on the weekend
http://www.bikersdiscountstore.co.uk/speedo-healer/healtech-electronics/speedo-healer-v4-pd-18.php
Bit of a fiddle getting the fairings off to run the wires, and the tool box under the seat had to come off to get at the ECU, this is held on with 4 anti undo screws which slowed me down for a few mins, a pair of long nose vice grips got them all out.
Unit fitted as per the instructions, easy to program and does what it is sposed to do, speedo is now spot on according to TomTom.

Then a cold run down to Cardiff, trike now with the people who are making the new exhaust, Stainless Steel full system, silencer where the back wheel used to be, number plate moved down.

Lets hope the speedo healer does its job Richard, I'm sure it will

AND lets see some pictures of the new exhaust system once its installed

     The cans are sooooo much better exiting under the  seat plus that means you've now got the bike looking more balanced/practical with both panniers fitted....great pics too

It may look nice but it isn't a bike!
