Default turn my bike into a trike?

hello,
I was told to try another post. I am recently disabled and I really miss riding,I was wondering if anyone could give me any info on somewhere in wisconsin who can turn my softail delux into a trike? or does anyone think a sidecar would handle better? I can no longer handle the weight and my balance is shot after the injury thanks for your time and ride safe everyone

Trike is a better bet, the sidecar turns differnet for a right and left, takes getting used to

I don't know anything about these dealers but you might check them out as your just getting started.

http://www.mtrikes.com/

I also agree that hanging out, searching and asking questions in the trike area would be a good idea. Choosing a trikes are a little more involved because you need to decide which manufacturer and kit you want, then choose an installer. Converting your current bike will limit your choices.
