My wife bought a new 2013 Road Glide Ultra last fall and had a Motor Trike kit put on it. We rode a TriGlide and a friends Road Glide with the Motor Trike kit and liked it much better so we went that route. Just finished a 5700 mile trip out west and my wife said it was great. We both thought the Motor Trike kit handled much better than the Tri Glide.

Love my Motortrike Trog kit. 60k miles so far and rides great. The air bag suspension that come with the Trog kit has a on board air compressor to adjust the suspension as needed.

I'm thinking of a Motortrike kit. For those who have converted their RGs, did you also rake the front since the frame bears a lot of the weight of the RG fairing?

Hannigan does a fine job if your looking for high end. RG fairing makes a good looking and functioning trike. Not a trike but his rig has a trike front end on it and faring supports removed. When you make the move post pictures it should be interesting

A friend of mine in Oklahoma had his RG converted to a Hannigan Transformer. He sold it a couple of years ago but strangely enough, I saw it cruising down the highway, today. It's probably got well over 100K miles on it, now.

Hannigan builds unless totaled are a round for ever.
