Default Reverse Trike w/V-Rod Engine

I've been seeing a lot of the cam-am spiders lately and have to think that Harley could absorb a little of the market share if they jumped in and made a HD reverse trike (two front wheels, one back) using the water-cooled v-rod engine and adding a reverse gear to it.
This way all the "car tire buyers for bikes" would be happy and not get ridiculed for doing so

I'm also surprised the aftermarket hasn't seen this opportunity yet. Maybe they have and I have had the blinders on???

Interesting, I wonder if they followed up within the 18 months after the Sept. '06 patent application?

It would put a good use to all the v-rods setting around at the dealers.

Here's one, but it's Twin Cam powered. And also a video of the ultimate water cooled trike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeNLMN_RqSI
