Roadsmith currently uses a two.61:ane (I believe) ratio for the GL1800. Yous probably have the 2.93:ane that was previously used prior to the 2019 models. You will then need a 'speedo healer'.

At around 65 mph I'm at 3,000 RPM. What is your RPM with the 2.61:1? Originally Posted by Lee H. Mann Roadsmith currently uses a 2.61:1 (I believe) ratio for the GL1800. You probably have the ii.93:1 that was previously used prior to the 2019 models. You will and then need a 'speedo healer'.

I think Ronnie was talking Indicated miles traveled on the odometer... And not Miles Per Gallon... Originally Posted by trikeman Yes. You tin await a decrease in MPG when triking a motorcycle. Most trike conversion companies accept researched the gear ratios and have matched the gear ratio that gives all-time performance and fuel mileage to each model and brand.

Odometers and speedometers are notorious for being inaccurate in Goldwings. I have ridden with many different trike brands every bit well as 2 wheel Goldwings for several years. Very few will ever agree on distance traveled much less MPG fifty-fifty though we all fuel up the same place and ride together. At 1 time I installed a Valkyrie rear tire on my 2 wheel GL1800 and, because of the larger tire aspect, my speedometer was near dead on. But handling suffered a bit. I eventually went back to OEM spec. tires and added a Speedo-Healer to that bike. If retentiveness is right, I believe there was a 6.five% correction required to make the speedometer accurate. But, I did notice that my odometer was and then logging slightly fewer miles than I was really traveling.
I know my CSC trike also has nearly a half dozen% speed error. I will look into the possibility of installing the adjacent larger size tire attribute when the tires demand replacing. Currently my speedo indicates I am doing 67 MPH at 2800 RPM only my bodily speed is closer to 64. I think the GL1800 has enough torque to deport the same speeds at 200-300 less RPMs. Hope this helps..... Jim
Additional Info.....
My trike has a 3.0-1 rear cease
The spec calls for 205/70R14 tires having a diameter of 25.three inches rotating 798 times per mile.
I have installed 205/50R17 tires having a diameter of 25.one inches rotating 805 times per mile
If I alter to 205/55R17 tires the diameter is 25.9 inches and will rotate 780 times per mile
And if I can fit 205/60R17s I call back that is what I would practise. Changing tire attribute is a lot easier and less expensive than changing gearing. Something to consider..... Jim
