It will no doubt be seen as sacrilege by some, but as mkguitar has said its your bike and would probably make a good trike.

The main benefit of the FXR frame is its handling. Making a trike out of anything destroys the handling. I see no advantage to starting a trike build with an FXR.

And of course it's sacrilege.

Are you thinking about it with your Low Rider? Rare bike to be triking. Do they make a bolt on kit for that bike?

Go with the bolt on kit if available. Pop it on an off an it just requires bolting the mounting flanges to you frame, no cutting or welding.
