Default Frankenstein conversion is complete

I've been wanting to trike out my 2016 Softail Slim S for some time now, and today it finally came home. It is remarkably stable at any speed. I am very happy with the Frankenstein kit.

Looks good, enjoy riding it and get ready for some attention when you park it. Be open to questions, that how we (bikers) show we are a good group of people.

I've enjoyed mine for a few years now and have gotten it tuned in to my style.

Absolutely!! I enjoy talking about it and it looks like I will have plenty of opportunity. My first gas stop I could hardly find time to pump gas. LOL!! People can't help but gravitate towards it.

That rear end looks bulletproof. Did you take any pics showing the build? Encounter any problems along the way putting it together/making the conversion?

I had a local shop install it so no build pictures. From the instructions, they are probably the easiest trike install. They provide detailed instructions on their web page Frankensteintrikes.com if you were interested. The installer said it went together easy.
