I've came up with a little food for thought list prior to converting.  This may help those interested in converting to a trike.

*Why convert in the first place
*Things you loose when you convert to a
    trike.
*Choosing a Conversion Kit      
    Manufacture
*Potential Problems After Converting

1. People convert there machine for several reasons
   These are some of mine.
   People with physical disabilities that want to ride or continue to ride can and this is the way to do it.

2. No more parking your bike with the side stand down, coming back to find it laying on its side. For what ever reason it fell down.

3. Want a little more cargo space.

4. Want to haul a little larger camper trailer.

5. Want the feel of more stab ability on those wet roads. Not to mention those graded bridges.

6. No more embarrassment of tipping over when your co-rider climbs on are off.
   Some other reasons I've found that individuals convert to a trike.

7. Want their bikes to be noticed {status symbol} 

8. Let everyone Know they spent a few thousand more on their bikes then everyone else. 

9. I even talked to one individual whom said he was afraid to ride on two wheels.  He couldn't  ride a bicycle. {Hard to believe' possibly true}

1. The feel of the lean in the curve and on those windy roads. 

2. With the above in mind no more concern about high are low siding in those curves either.

3. Fuel mileage

4. Power of the dependable 6 cylinder engine due to extra weight.

5. Storage Space in the garage

6. Need a larger parking space {Where two bikes could fit its only one} 

7. One last item: no more side stand is needed

1. There are a lot of manufactures out there.  The problem is deciding which one is for you.  When asking trike owners which manufacture is best you will get a lot of different answers. The Key is to ask a lot of questions not only of trike owners themselves but comparing the difference in the conversion manufactures.  Some conversions have independent suspension, others don't.  Different manufactures take away cargo space others add some.  If you notice some body panels are flared others aren't.  Some use the OEM drive shaft and shocks others don't.  Manufacture X  recommends you change the rake of the steering others say you don't have to with their conversion.  The list goes on and on.  Before you jump and start the conversion process do your home work.  Talk to trike owners.  Get different manufactures  brochures,  study, compare it to the others.   

Potential Problems After Converting

1. Warranty work on not only your Trike conversion but also the Honda Gold Wing Warranty as well.

2. Maintenance on the conversion.  That is if your not mechanically inclined. 

3. Replacement parts for the conversion when needed.

4. Insurance: The Trike is no longer just a Gold Wing.  Be sure and talk to your insurance agent.  Mine really didn't understand.  On that note if you pull a trailer with your bike be sure and talk your agent about this as well.

5. Resale value of the Trike.  There are several individuals looking for Gold Wings but only a few looking for Trikes. There is a lot of those hard earned  $$$ put into a conversion.  You may be waiting awhile to sale.
