Re: Harley tricycle?

there is also a kit i believe called a tricycle kit (a couple ladies in my area have these )its a frame that bolts on to the swing arm with a wheel on each side almost puts you in mind of training wheels thay seem to like them pretty well except doing the sharp turns threw the narrows (199)they have to slow down a bit more in the curves sense the wheels dont have a independent on each wheel ,plus the unit can be un bolted from the bike and ran as a reagular 2wheel motor cycle .they look kinda funny from behind with there 3 wheels at the back and one in the front but what the heck these older gals are in the wind ,its cheaper then the trike conversion kits and seems to be a good made unit .now if thats what they need to hold their bikes up then its all good

Re: Harley tricycle?

I saw those the other day when I was researching trikes. You do think training wheels on a bike... but as you said, also easily removeable (I question that statement) and you're back to two wheels!

Re: Harley tricycle?

i talked to the lady that owned it she said just a easy bolt on and can come right off ,i figure its like the old trike conversion bolt ons back in the late 60s and early 70s do you remember these you could cange between a bike and a trike and back, in around 3 hours i never had one but iknew a couple guys that said they had them and claim they could do the switch in 3 hours (these were probably sold by jammers back in the day along with the super vee engine)

those tricycle kits on there site thay can be changed from a 4 wheeler to a 2 wheeler in 5 min thats quicker then what i would have figured but looking at the photo of the kit i can see how it could be

Re: Harley tricycle?

Honestly, I'd consider it for when I want to take the Mrs with me for a ride. She's leery about the whole "balance" thing, two up. I have yet to be able to convince her to go out with me. So that would put her fears aside. Then I could remove the thing and go out riding "regular" when she's not with me. Hobbit did bring up to me though, some of the issues of how it would handle, due to the wheel size, etc... that it wouldn't be really like a trike, yet not really like a two wheel. So, I'd have to actually try the thing before I invested money like that.

Re: Harley tricycle?

Here's a picture of my R K Classic that I have recently had triked, It was done by Hanks chop shop in South Wales UK. It is brilliant to ride and has a great grin factor. I have left the side stand on for a bit of show as it was a present from my wife when it was on two wheels.
