They could keep theGold Wing back seat, winshield, storage compartments, and all the other comfort goodies and call it a "touring quad" ...you know it would sell. Come to think of it, I'd like to have me one of those little trailers to pull behind the Brute

Just think how smooth it would be...Computerized ground-sencing air ride suspension, Locking front and rear diffs, power steering w/Cruz control...big screen GPS or heads-up display... Painted large metallic gold...A real chick-magnet..Man...If Honda only knew..
I see these Goldwing trike conversions and I have to say they are gorgeous. I would own one for sure.

I sold my street bike a couple years ago because my wife wouldn't ride with me. If I ever get another one, it will be a Gold Wing Trike!

You are not going to believe this…went out riding with my son last Saturday still having the starting issues, but ran great all day until the last ride. We were driving up a dirt road and then all the sudden, I start losing all my power and it’s getting loud…then a bad shake and stops completely. Wont even crank over. No oil light warning or nothing. Oil is not registering on the stick now and smells like its burnt.
Out of warranty…and approx $1027 just in labor to fix it if they figure out what happened. Apparently they can’t even get the crank to turn with a wrench.
I’m so pissed at the ATV. It has been in the shop more times than on the trails.
It’s getting fixed and sold!!! Am I better off trying to find a motor or just have it rebuilt?

How could it go through so much oil that it wasn't noticed either smooking or leaking. Me - I'd say that was a lemon motor and try finding another. Its gone anyway. Once that happens to them, they will never be the same...but in your case..it would probably be worse.
