I want a trike. my FLTSC only has 500 miles on it. Convert it or trade it for a trike. Retiring and want something to travel on that does not wear my tired old man butt out.

 

Have you thought about shock / suspension upgrades instead?

 

Convert it, I just did a 09 Street Glide for a buddy.

I know that Randy and Jeff have a kit for a soft tail.

 

Trade it for can am spyder

 

Now that's funny as hell!

 

I just can't get on the trike bandwagon, so I vote.....

Go sidecar.....!!!!

Probably cheaper to get the sidecar, reverse gear, and easy steer triple trees than to take the hit on your FLSTC and buy a trike.

This is my plan, hopefully 15-20 years from now, when I want to keep riding but my legs complain about holding up and moving around the Ultra...

+1 if you feel too old to ride a bike this may be the route for you.

 

I say convert it. I did a softail for my wife a while back. It came out great

 

You and the wife would get a lot more enjoyment from a 455 HP Corvette, plus it will hold it's resale a lot better than a harley trike.

I also thought a trike would be ticket for me, until I test road
a new great looking HD Freewheeler.
Absolutely no way no how for me. I'm sure once I learned how to
properly ride a trike my attitude might change but for now,
I've been riding to long enjoying two wheels to give them up.

If you buy a trike that started out as a one like a HD trike
you have better chance getting proper service when needed
along your journeys or at home.

Do test ride one before you covert or buy new, JMO.
