There are several from complete kits to conversions. Voyger, tru-pack, Leman, Champion, Mystery design sure there are others. Many have been posted in this forum.

Does he want a true trike kit or some kind of other accessory like a Voyager or InstaTrike (2 wheels down of either side of the bike's rear wheel)?  One is definitely less expensive than the other.

Your in Sommerset , Look up Mystery Trikes, there are a couple of dealers out there and Chuckstrikes. But becare and do the shopping, some guys want $1600 just for paint and your looking at $14 to $16K for a kit.

I saw a complete kit from Champion on ebay a couple weeks ago.  Some one ordered it and didn't get it installed.  I couldn't get anyone to ship one to me.  Most were pick up only.  I think a local dealer would be more beneficial in helping you in the long run.  Good luck.

DFT makes a conversion kit for Softtails.  Highland H-D in Somerset is a dealer.

Hi I'm new here, I ordered a Champion kit for my 06 Fatboy.........they delivered it right to my house and it's an easy install....Did it myself and am disabled... anyone with basic mechanical skills can do it....... A lift helps.....

I ended up not using the fiberglass body and am building steel fenders etc. to make it more one of a kind.  Trike corners great...can keep up with any bikes in the group and I ride in the mountains mostly...lots of turns.

tons of kits out there.  some are similar, but none are identical.  do your homework and ask a lot of questions.

if finances allow, i would highly recommend a reverse.  that's the only thing

Grimm,

Love your bike, is that a Frankenstien rear end or a DFT or Mystery straight axle......I'm building a trike and have been working on steel fenders but sure do like the looks of yours without......makes me want to reconsider.
