Reverse gear question
Seeing as how I'm getting long in the tooth and having some knee trouble I have considered putting a reverse gear like Tabortrikes sells. The one that adds a shift handle and gear on the right side of the transmission. I have a '06 wideglide with the 6 speed and it gets somewhat painfull backing it up anymore. The 6th gear costs about $1300.00, and I don't want a trike yet. If and when that day comes(when that day comes) for a conversion, I would already have 6th gear installed. Does anyone have any thaughts on this idea?? I am all ears. In the wind.

My grandpa had a reverse gear on his bike with a sidecar. 06 street glide. Worked great until he forgot it was in reverse gear and he slammed it into first. Sheared of a pin and broke the reverse gear. Cost soooo much to fix he never got around to it.

Not ready for a trike, although I may be one day for a conversion, and I would already have the reverse gear. In the wind.

Reverse
I have an 07 Police model Road King with a CSC FIII sidecar (double wide). I put a Champion reverse on it a little over a year ago. I absolutely love it. One of the best accessories I have ever added. Now the wife doesn't have to jump out of the sidecar to push me back anymore. Little did I know then that my knees were going out soon. Trikes are getting very popular...but...I am a sidecar guy!
