Tri-Wing Design Components
Frame:
Each member of our technical, sales and engineering team apply areas
of expertise to their task. Our professional welding department
adds the strength where torsion and twisting may occur. The frames
are assembled in precision made jigs and mig welded by highly skilled
tradesmen. All TRI-WING frames are made of heavy gauge tubular steel.
The TRI-WING frame bolts directly to the existing Gold Wing or Venture
frame.
Differential:
TRI-WING uses Ford 7 1/2 integral rear ends. These differentials
are custom made at our shop. The housings are stripped,cut and
precision machined to individual lengths. Every housing is sand blasted and then hydro blasted to prepare it for the machining. The
gear ratios vary and are based upon the make and model that you order. If you prefer a different gear set you can request
that we change it for you. We realize that all situations differ depending upon load factor, trailer towing etc.
The next step is where a licensed Ford mechanic assembles the retrofitted differential with
D.O.T. approved. All new Axle Seals, Pinion Seal, Axle Wheel
Bearings, Brake components and new Brake hardware kits and Brake
shoes. The TRI-WING steel braided brake line assembly has been attached
to the differential which attaches to your existing motorcycle's brake
system.
Fiberglass:
The original amazing TRI-WING is built to outlast all of us. TRI-WING fibreglass
components are individually manufactured in a carefully controlled process by
professionals with over 20 years of experience. We adhere to the highest industry
standards ensuring quality fibreglass to resin ratios. All our bodies are hand laid for incredible strength and finish. The base product
determines the finished product.
Drive Shaft:
All of our Tri-Wings incorporate a straight line drive shaft that
eliminates the usual vibrations caused by offset connections to
the rear end that may occur in other trikes on the market. There
is no rationalization for you to purchase or replace your drive
shaft for another modified unit when the original shaft will adequately
perform in a three wheel configuration. Our experience has proven
this point without exception.
Brake System:
We incorporate the world renown Ford D.O.T. approved 9 1/2
brake drum system. All new components include new spring assemblies
and related hardware, brake shoes, brake drums, cylinders and fittings. Our hydraulic
delivery system utilizes D.O.T. approved steel hard line that is
complimented by flexible race performance steel braided outer with
Teflon inner cores.
The TRI-WING high pressure swivel brake fittings are second to none
in the automotive industry. Our hydraulic delivery system is pre-installed
at our factory and easily connects inline to your existing
brake line.
Stability:
Quick, stable and responsive, the amazing TRI-WING meets the three
wheel motorcycle road endurance requirements. It offers traditional
proven control at low and high speeds.
The TRI-WINGS low center of gravity combined with the factory
profile of the original two wheel configuration compliments all
riders regardless of size or age.
Suspension:
The suspension depends upon the bike, the V-Star and Royal Stars all utilize the original shock, and we have complimented this shock with two superior air bag shocks. The TRI-WING Honda models utilize your existing 2 wheel configured
suspension system. The original air or spring loaded shocks are
placed on each differential tube and are affixed inline to the upper
frame and lower differential on adjustable mounting brackets. index...
Axles:
We do not cut and weld axles. They are precision machined and cold
re-splined to original factory specifications. 4
Exhaust System:
Modification of your existing exhaust system is required
on the retro fitting of our TRI-WING kit to your existing motorcycle.
In the "majority" of models available, the recommended modification
is the extension of your rear tailpipe from the muffler resonators
body assembly. This procedure allows the exhaust emissions to be
directed behind rather than under the TRIWING body. This process
will not affect the integrity of the original manifold/exhaust system.
Tires and Wheels:
Tires and wheels are not included due to excess freight costs incurred
by the consumer.
TRI-WING Tires and Wheels. Upon ordering your kit we will advise you which sizes
of tires and wheels we recommend for your specific application.
Installation Time:
Conversion time will vary between kits and with each individual. An installed kit adds less than 200 lbs to the original weight of the bike.
