Default Made the mistake of riding a trike

I never saw this coming. Well, I ride a 2 wheel 2016 Softail Slim S and my wife recently purchased a 2005 Sportster 883 with a Frankenstein trike kit. Of course I had to ride it and BAM!! I was hooked. Every time I rode my Slim after that I desired the trike feel. Crazy how every time I went into the garage I find myself staring at her bike instead of mine. I decided eventually I would add a trike kit down the road when it made economical sense. A few more weeks of obsessing and the realization set in that life is too short to wait for something that will put a huge grin on every day. I ordered the Frankenstein kit today and it should be in 2/14. Pics to come

You won't be sorry you got a Frankenstein kit. My 883 has bee n converted for about 2 years now and I'm still loving it. I highly recommend adding the rake trees, you will be surprised at the difference in steering effort. The guys at Frankenstein give the best support.

After reading a lot on the subject I did end up ordering the trees. I agree, the Frankenstein kit appears to be great quality, and I love the sport look it gives.
