After finally getting out of the hospital I am told I might not have the strength to hold a big bike up anymore in my leg .I refuse to stop riding My poor bike misses me and only has 9k miles {Road Glide 2018} so .Is there a conversion kit that can be bought and who makes them.

There is a local guy that does them around here. I'm sure someone would be closer to you but he uses Motor Trike conversion kits.

Do you want a trike that will do, or one that is outstanding ? At least take a look at Hannigan. Another option would be a trade for a HD one in the end you may come out good on the cost.

csc(california side car) hannigan roadsmith are all longer wheelbase independent suspensions full body kits. champion another popular chioce. frankenstien is a good do it yourself kit but no body work, imo they look good on the smaller bikes but not so much on a bagger. they all have lists of authorized dealers prices will vary wildly do your homework and find a good installer. imo the best installer will make all the difference much more than witch kit choose.

Absolute no brainer if it were me. NCBandit and TinCupChalice have Frankenstein kits and they look stunning (the trikes that is).

Can’t suggest any trike kits but have you checked out the Leg Up Landing Gear? A good alternative if holding up the bike is the only reason you need something.

I don't know if you're interested, but we went sidecar.

My Wife and I [as Canadians] bought in Washington State from DMC Sidecar. A little ways a way from Missouri, but an adventure none the less.

From my noob research, we're looking at a rake kit, which is kinda needed for both sidecar and trike. - Might aid in the trade in as suggested earlier by smitty901. The Leg Up IronAss suggested is another possibility.

Keep fighting. Riding is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Good luck

Sidecars do have their place. Just like trikes not for everyone . Hannigan makes both Trikes and sidecars

Hannigan offers a few models. And you can pick and choose options.
This is just one example. One thing for sure it is done right and works as it should no short comings.
