Not just another "Trike"...check this out!

RichardS · Nov 16th, 2008, 02:21 PM

I have always liked Harley Trikes, and of course what comes to mind when I mention those are the typical 3 wheeled variety that looks like this:

So of course from behind they look like this, a zero-lean motorcycle that alters the way you ride radically:

But what do you guys think of THIS?? Same motorcycle, (you know what I mean), but with a completely different trike mod.

Take a look:

Another angle:

And of course the look from behind, (almost):

This is an obviously more easily reversible transformation.

Just interested in opinions here because like many of you guys, I look for interesting topics of conversation, not because I have any real intentions of changing my own Ultra to a trike.

OK......Let me make a prediction here...
Smitty...you hate it, right?

What do you think guys?

No hate is a strong word

I like trikes done right , I hope I do not need one for a few more years.
When the time comes and my tired body can not hold a road glide up it will be trike time for sure.

In my opinion, the first is tough lookin'

The second looks like it has training wheels!

Bubbaglide · Nov 16th, 2008, 03:21 PM

I beleive what you are looking at is a Voyager kit or something like it. They claim that it can be changed in a few minutes. Now having seen a few of these in person, It does look like a bike with training wheels. For those who need additional wheels it is a cheap alternative to a trike kit. Cost I believe to be in the $4k range vs $10k for a Lehman or california Disecar.

I personally would not do this to mine but to each his own.

(I felt the same way...BUT...suppose you decided you wanted to go back to 2 wheels? MUCH easier!)

That's exactly what I think about Smit...when I can't ride the Ultra but not yet willing to hang up my helmet.

So...which one do you prefer?

Remember...for the next owner, that second conversion is so easily reversible!

First blue looks good fromthe back and storage looks great
But I do like the silver RG one I saw one like it in person in red nice setu also.
I like frame mounted farings
