I have a 2006 1200 sportster I want to convert to a trike...I have contacted Harley bike shops in new Zealand and they are no help....so far.....is there no shop in new Zealand that can help or do I just import the correct parts and do it myself there are many placed in the United states that sell kits and part kits..... I just want a rear end and spring arm .... what parts can I use its a belt drive.....any car diffs...etc parts from any other cars

Check Frankenstein Trikes, they have a bolt on kit for your bike with everything you will need at a good price ... I have one on my 2008 and have no problems ...

Best of luck ... I can highly recommend Frankenstein, and they do ship outside the USA ... I have had mine for 3 years and have had no problems ... the guys at Frankenstein are real good to deal with also ... their kit has everything but the paint

I will 2nd Frankenstein Trikes. My wife has 1 on her Sportster and I just added one to my Slim S. They appear to be the easier to install for the DIY person. If you order one be aware that you can order different size tires. The 15x10 tires really give the trike a hot rod look. Good luck.

Hi from the UK. I've had many years experience of shipping stuff from the USA and just want to add a word of caution. Shipping costs from the USA can be very high, especially for large and heavy things. I have never tried anything as large as a trike kit, so can only recommend you make plenty of enquiries before making your purchase. Also check with your NZ import people for any taxes and other costs that may be due. Here in the UK it is over 20%, on top of purchase PLUS shipping costs! So be aware of what you may be letting yourself in for.
