Wife can't ride with me on the Heritage anymore because she's on blood thinners, so we've been looking at trikes lately. I found a 2001 Ultra with DFT's smoothie conversion on it only two miles from the house. 56,000 miles, very clean, owned by a lady. Husband wasn't sure what had been all done to it, but he had some dyno graphs showing just under 100 hp/tq with it. She's put around 20,000 on the bike with 5-6 trips to Sturgis and several to a relative's in Nebraska.

Husband bought her a Tri Glide, but she preferred the DFT, but agreed to sell the oldest one. He didn't know if the cam chain tensioners had been addressed, but he had a big stack of receipts. I'll have to make sure about that. There's no reverse on the bike, but she insisted that hadn't been a problem. The lady is in her fifties, about 5'4" and 180 lbs.

Probably paid too much, $14k, but I haven't had any luck finding Tri Glides or Freewheelers reasonable. I'll probably be doing all or most of the driving, but she just feels safer on the back of a trike.

I did a bunch of searches on DFT, and didn't find a single bad thing said about them. I'll be hanging around here for a while asking questions, I'm sure. We'll pick it up Monday.

 

Went to grade school in Chicago with a Larry Ashcraft, many years ago...

 

I went to grade school in Pueblo, Colorado, Many, MANY years ago.

I pick it up tomorrow.

 

Nice looking Trike. A couple that lives near me has the same kit and they are very happy with it. I have bought the Low Rider ST Kit for my 2007 Dyna Superglide. I did a fair amount of research before I bought and liked everything I saw. Talking with them I was very confident I was getting a quality kit from a knowledgeable company. Just have to get off my butt and install it. Will be waiting to hear how you like it.

 

Was wondering if you got the trike. If you did do you have more pictures? Also was wondering what you thought of it.
