My opinion Two weeks after my Trike Conversion.

For those of you that have ever thought of trying a Trike or looked down on them, you may want to rethink. I wasn't thrilled about having to switch to a Trike to keep riding, but the more we ride the more I love it! I am even beginning to Prefer it!! I no longer have to dread stop lights & /or going slow, turning around or stopping for any reason. PLUS, on top of that, after this past weekend, we have now discovered roads that I would never considered taking any two-wheeler on that wasn't meant for off road!! We are now exploring white rock, gravel and dirt roads through the Bluffs that we always either ignored or simply glanced at - wondering where they went!

I worried about high speed stability. And though I have only had it up to 85mph so far, it is just as stable as any 2-wheeler I have been on. But, I do realize that there are many different Trike kits out there. - (Mine is a Hannigan).

As I had read on online Forums and previously had other Trike owners tell me, I wish I had done it MANY years ago!! We would've put many more miles on our Bike by now!

Add the reverse if you get the boards.

I have been thinking when it is time to go that way I would. Our local bike shop had demo from California Sidecar over the weekend, so I got off work early Friday and went over to try them out. First time on a trike and I was suprised at how well they handle. I tried a HD, a Victory, a Kawasaki and a Goldwing, and a Yamaha Strat. I liked the Goldwing the best. I will trike mine before I pay $30,000 for one.

Here's what I have on the trike.

Mine has red piping to match the bikes red. I had these on the 05 as well & really like them. Had a custom made set for the rear of the TRI-WING 05 but not needed on the rear of the Hannigan.

The inner section is a thick rubber with the leather on the outside. Very durable and easy cleaning.

:080402gudl_prv: with whatever you choose but do get one for the front.

I just bought a mud flat on e-bay, 2 days ago. Haven't received it yet, but I'm wondering how you guys are mounting them. The front finder has a chrome piece on the back edge. Have you bolted it to that piece or gone further up and onto the fender? Owen.
