Independent Rear Suspension
The smooth ride of the Roadsmith HDT-V is primarily due to our innovative
suspension system that offers a ride like no other trike. The Trike Shop was the
first to offer Independent Suspension for trike conversions over 14 years ago. The
cynics said it would never work. They're eating those words today. Talk to anyone
who has actually ridden an Independent Rear Suspension and a solid axle system
trike for a period of time and ask them which one rode better. They won't deny
Independent Rear Suspension rides nicer and corners awesome. IRS is the way
manufacturers of cars, SUV's and ATV's have been and are going. Trikes are no
different. These trikes are built with a purpose "Touring in Comfort".

need service on the road. The rear
brakes are large 11" dual disc. The
Constant Velocity (CV) joints and
brakes are VW Beetle application.

Swingarm & Differential
Our new adjustable length swing-arm
that now carries our differential has a
unique adjustment system that has a
central cam adjuster, similar to an axle
adjuster. When the hex-bar is turned
the cams evenly push back the
differential to tighten the trike belt.
Then just tighten the nuts up on the
machined and slotted swing arms and
your done. The differential housing
simply has a set of spider gears in it,
and is filled permantly with gear lube.
The gears only move. It 's that kind of
detail and engineering we've put into
the design of this conversion. We want
to leave you hanging with some special
parts or tools required for you to drive
your trike for many years to come.

True Track Stabilizer Bar
The stabilizer bar also known as a two
trailing arms. The bar uses the torsion
effect to always try to keep the trike
righted or sitting square to the ground.
The beauty of the stabilizer bar is the
fact that when one wheel hits a bump
the bar can flex quickly to absorb the
movement then return. This is the
same technology used in almost every
vehicle today. Just think if you had “no
lean” that means your trike is always
perfectly square to the ground. In
affect, if you go over a 2” bump with
your right wheel, the trike rocks up 2”.
But with Independent Suspension, just
that wheel goes up. The antiquated
solid axle system is only made today
because it’s cheaper and easier.
Technology has improved a lot in the
short history of trike conversions, but
some are too stuck in their ways. We
offer only the most innovative designs
to our customers.

Longer Wheelbase
We increase the wheelbase of this bike by 10". This puts the rear wheels back behind
the passengers’ seat area, rather than sitting right on top of the wheels. Any vehicle
that has a longer wheelbase will have a smoother ride. It’s just common sense.

Disc Brakes
Large disc brakes more than handle
the stopping of this trike. Remember
trikes stop faster and easier than
bikes. With more tire contact area and
much better stability, braking a trike is
not the white knuckled, balancing act
that a bike can be. The wheel
bearings, calipers and rotors are all
right from a high production
automobile application, the VW Beetle.
Like all of our drive train, constructed
from everyday off the shelf parts for
your convenience.

Heavy Duty CV Joints
The axles are custom made for our
conversion kits, but the constant
velocity (CV) joints are standard
automotive applications such as VW
and Porsche. We use automotive type
parts for all of our drive train because
it’s designed for a much heavier load,
meaning these parts will probably last
forever in this light duty application.

convenience.

Alloy Wheels
The Alloy wheels that come with our
conversion kits are clear-coated
aluminum rim that has a similar look
and finish to the bike front rim. They
are a 16x7”, 4 bolt on 100mm circle;
positive 35mm offset size that fits
many automotive applications. We
offer a Chrome plated option also.

Storage Compartment
The large storage compartment
comes completely carpeted to both
protect and store your riding gear.
The trunk (4.5 cubic feet) has about
50 percent more capacity than the
stock saddlebags. This gives you a
larger space to fit larger objects into.
The large trunk door opening also
allows for easier packing or loading.
This convenient trunk will fit all your
gear securely away from the
elements.

Factory Styled Body
The slick body design incorporates
the look and feel of the original
motorcycle. We feel the trike
conversion body should melt
seamlessly into the original body
parts. The body is constructed of
heavy-duty fiberglass. It is then
painted with urethane paint, flat
sanded, and buffed to a mirror finish
to ensure a perfect paint match both
in color and finish. The mounting
system for the body ensures a rock
solid attachment and no exposed
mounting hardware. Notice the
added foot room for the passenger,
another feature of a longer
wheelbase.

Trailer Hitch
With any touring machine a trailer hitch is a familiar sight. When riding a trike
a trailer is not a danger like it is on a bike. The trike will never feel like there’s
a trailer back there, so we include a 1 1/4” receiver for a trailer hitch neatly
tucked under the body. It is incorporated into the rear body support and is
welded directly into the strongest part of our frame. This is not an option or
add-on it’s built right in. It is another one of the innovative ideas built right
into the design of our trike kit.
