The NEW Yellow Goldwing Trike! A Custom Automatic Goldwing Custom Painted Yellow
We first met Joseph by email in February 2020 when he was interested in some lights that were on a Goldwing conversion we posted to this blog. We provided the information on what the lights were and where he could purchase them. We offered to install them if he needed that. This is when we found out that Joseph lives in WA. A year later Joseph was still following UNB Customs and asked about the Hannigan 180 rear fender extension we were displaying on our blog and the chrome fork and caliper covers. Again, knowing the distance between us, we provided as much information as we could to help Joseph out. In August 2022, Joseph called us. He had made his decision to have UNB Customs do a custom build. A 2022 Goldwing DCT in YELLOW!
UNB Customs was asked to find Joseph a 2022 DCT (not an easy task) and replace his 2020 DCT Roadsmith HTX with the Hannigan 180 Front End Package due to the fact that an unfortunate accident totaled his trike. The color of the host bike did not matter because UNB Customs would be changing it to yellow. The host bike was found!
Uwe and Joseph came to the meeting of the minds after exploring three different yellows by sending Joseph the paint samples to actually see in person.
They both wanted the yellow to stand out and look sharp!
Uwe stripped all the panels off the bike and got to work changing colors! Even throwing in some extra parts to get painted which adds an extra touch, such as the forks and rotors.
We think the wide 180 Front end came out great with the new paint job!
We also put in our trunk carpet in the Roadsmith kit, to go with some other UNB touches like the emblems on the Wing Guard running boards.
We also added the chrome wheels, chrome wheel well trim, chrome bumper and lighted mudflaps to the Roadsmith trike kit.
He added the Roadsmith 5-gallon aux. fuel tank, accuride, performance sway bar which are great for long rides. Joseph also added the Traxxion Dynamics Front Shock, Helibars, Paladin Comfort Bars, a bunch of chrome accessories from Goldstrike, and additional lights. See more pictures of the completed trike in the gallery below.
We are super excited with how Joseph's trike came out and are sad to see it go all the way to Washington, we love how the yellow looks and wonder if this will become a popular color going forward.
