Tri Glide
When I was considering converting my Electra Glide or buying a Tri Glide the price was close as these conversions are not cheap and you end up with a half new half old machine with no warranty so I went with the 2011 Tri and I'm glad that I did as this is a great bike with a warranty ( for what it's worth ) NOTE : I have friends with California Side Car kits and they are beautiful but very $$$ so it's ultimately your choice ! ! !

Can I play too?
Forgive my memory, it isn't that great, but seems both conversations have a lot of the truth.
I'm thinking that HD sent an incomplete build to Lehman where they installed their swing arm assembly and body then sent it back to HD for shipping to their dealerships. This was in 2009 and 2010. 2011 HD took over the complete process.
The frame for the TG is different than a UC from the end of the tank back if you look at them stripped down as I have. The frame is a little different under the seat to the swing arm attachments. Wouldn't this make the TG frame a trike only frame?
