OK, let’s look at the first NC750x DCT TOWPAC GO KIT Trike. Called TOWPAC Inc a few weeks ago and asked if they had a trike kit for a 2020 NC750x DCT. No, but they would build one for me, and they did and now it is on the bike. The folks at TOWPAC are easy to talk to, especially Jeremy the service/design guy. Cost for a GO KIT was $2200 owner installed.
I know that most of you young guys would never do this and I can understand. Two wheels is the real moto experience. But some of us old guys need the extra support so we won’t fall over. The demon with me is arthritis. This is my 2nd TOWPAC on a bike. First was a TOWPAC Insta-Trike on my 89 Kawasaki Voyager. Now that bike was heavy, but with the trike it was as easy as driving a lawn mower. I experienced heavy steering (remember old man at the helm) with that bike, but it worked for me.
The GO KIT on the NC750x steers much easier and lighter than the Voyager, but with any front wheel trike it is quick and really lets you turn on the proverbial dime. Not much or no lean angle but still goes around curves OK,
When I first put it on, I found that it drove rougher than a cob. Apparently, the bikes suspension was overridden by the two outrigger wheels. With some thought, I re-did the set up to adjust the Trike’s wheels so that they kissed the ground less and let the Honda sit lower and engage its suspension.
At some point I am going to write up a procedure for that. At this point, I am very satisfied with my Trike. I also have a Spyder that my wife can ride, but now she wants to try the Honda Trike. As you may ask, how do the two compare? Well, there is no more comfortable and stable Trike than the Spyder, but it isn’t a NC750x.
