Liked the pics. Chrome cup holder looks good. Be careful to make sure that the cup holder doesn't loosen like mine did. Made a slow turn and holder turned down and couldn't straighten steering as holder was caught on the tank. The holder had been on since new '09 . Happy it happened my driveway and not on the street.

No power issues with GW on the California trike. Steady as a rock at 85 & with the hydraulic suspension pumped up its great in th Ozark mountains. That eliminates lean in the curves and can keep up with the peg scrapers. Expect 30 mpg at most any I-state speeds. All experience is based on two up.

Had same dilemma 2 yrs ago. Bought 08 GW and put a California kit on it with aquashields and it is a really nice trike. The leg room and sitting position isn't as comfy as the 09 RSV that thankfully I still have? I'm 6-3. I stopped by Hannigan and rode a triked RSV that I liked, but realized that GW power noticeably missing. Also during a short test drive of the RSV I missed the GW reverse feature. Also I miss the 2 wheel handling of the Venture when on the trike. It's just that we can carry more and have a safer feeling when on a trike. If you go trike ride them all before buying. Another thing is the front trike tire. I have had a Michelin Pilot that gives a harsh front end feel and also a Bridgestone Battax . Both are hard compound tires and they convinced me that my next front tire will be a regular motorcycle tire with softer compound and won't transfer every little road bump to the grips. I think the GW has a good sound system but no CB. I'm happy to have the RSV and have been tempted to sell the trike. Still can't say that I'd trike the Yamaha just cause I like the motorcycle feel. Sorry to ramble on. If you are in the KC area give me a call or call anyway if you'd like to talk bikes vrs trikes. Craig Mobile 816-674-6227 Independence, MO
