Photos of a Venture Trike

[Yama Mama]

Here are some photos of a friend of ours trike. He lives in Indiana, and we met him and is wife at a church festival.
This day, we had gone on a ride to his house from Batesville.:cool10: :cool10: :cool10: It was a beautiful day for a ride.

That is a beautifull bike, i am thinking of going that route, i would like to know how much power you loose with the added weight and wheels that you have to pull. thanks

What Year Bike & Who's Conversion?

[Yama Mama]

I really do not know what conversion he used, but it is an 01, I believe.

I will try to find out what conversion he has. I do know that he had some problems with it, but the manufacturer made it good for him.

[Yammer Dan]

That would really look GREAT witha 1st gen.

Okay, I'll give you a week, then send a photo.

This is just some friends of our, we still have two good wheels. We are not ready for three wheels at this point.

Hey look, even HD people sometimes go with three.

I would also like to know what kind of conversion it is on the bike. It sure does look good.

[Squidley]

Both nice looking trikes, and the RSV is a green '01, I just hope that I can keep it on 2 wheels for a VERY long time :whistling:

[HGWT]

The conversion is a Motor Trike I have one like it.

Can you tell me who converted it over to a trike??? Did they have the easy steer added, that is where they extend the forks 4 to 5 degrees, supposed to act like power steering?

:think: :think:

[bikenut]

I did all the work myself and my nephew did the paint job.
it was not hard to do and now the kit is made easer for the newer ventures.
I did not install the easysteer but have send a spare triple tree setup up to canada to have the changes made and I will be adding it to the bike in the spring.
It did not steer that hard but anything to make it better I am all for it.
Hope this helps.

well! i'm not so "underwhelmed ", anymore!
the more i look at trikes, and the more my old bones ache, the better i like the idea of a trike!
gonna ride two as long as i can, but i LOVE the idea of having options!

I had a VW trike back in the early 70's. That machine sure was a lot of fun. Until someone actualy rides one I would say it's hard to judge one. Just my thoughts here. I do know that when the 2 wheeled horse gets a bit too much to handle I'll convert to a trike again in the blink of am eye. I've ridden sidecar rigs before too but those are a horse of a different color so to speak. Myself I prefer the trikes.
One thing I'd like to see for the Venture trikes is an operational reverse for times whem you really need to back up. I know there's a post somewhere around here about that too but as far as I know no conclusive option has been offered. Oh well maybe by the time I'm ready for that 3rd wheel someone will have that figured out. If not I'll build something.

here are some pictures of my 05 RSTD trike,it is a tri-wing conversion,I have it tore down now getting ready for paint and some body modifications.

[straycat]

They look great, I wouldn't have a problem running one of them.:cool10:

[Captain Video]

Anyone know if any of the trike kits are the kind where if one wheel loses traction the other one kicks in? We used to call it a "posi-rear".
