A forum for the discussion of your sidecar, Conversion Trike or Pull Behind Motorcycle Trailer.
Is there a huge difference between the power before and after? I imagine it’s got to put quite a bit more load on the engine and tranny.
Not really. Actually I cannot tell the difference. Mind you, I don't get on it very hard and I'm happy to cruise down the road at 70 mph or so. I havn't towed the Time Out camper trailer behind it yet but it shouldn't be a big deal. I've towed the camper behind for a year before the conversion.
First, Thanks for your service, David.
You definitely look like a drill sergeant.
Not someone to mess with.
They really did a great job on your trike and
Love the photo of your Brother!
He has that "we're going to have a great time" look.
Must have been a great Man to earn a spot on your motorcycle.
Thank you so much... We had such great riding plans for the future. It didn't work out. I miss that guy so hard even though it's only been two months. That is the biggest reason I spent the money for this conversion. We never know when...

Not really. Actually I was surprised how easily it took off on my first ride. I guess I was kind of thinking there would be a noticeable difference but there was none. I havn't towed my Time Out camper trailer behind it yet but I don't think it will be much of a difference of what I'm used to towing it before the conversion.
Excellent job sir. Better times are ahead, its a huge loss you dealt with but now he will be riding with you everytime your out there. Congrats and well done.
I decided to trike my road glide. I'm 62 and not as able as I used to be. Enough so that I was getting afraid to ride the bike. So I researched trike conversions and settled on this model.
I've had motorcycles since I was 14 years old and was not prepared for how different riding a trike is. But after two rides and 170 miles since it was delivered last Friday (Veterans Day, I'm retired Coast Guard) I'm getting the hang of it. You have to learn to "trust" the trike. It is not going to TIP over!
Dang, now I have about 3 1/2 months of winter until I can really get it out on a long ride/camping trip.
EDIT: I had a picture of my late brother air brushed on the trunk. He loved his 05 Retro Orange Sportster and his ZZ Top/Duck Dynasty beard.
I'm not a super big fan of Trikes but I have to tell you that your bike looks REALLY frgn good. The colour, the portrait of your bro makes it one of a kind. Ride it in good health Sir!
p.s. If you don't mind my asking; what size and make is that windshield that you're using on there? Thank you.

I really like it. When sitting on the bike and looking at it, it looks funny because it has "hips'.
