. The Frankenstein kit is badass, but not much storage. Have a Champion kit on my 98 Ultra. Do some google searches and you should be able to find all available models. Mine is solid axle, they make IRC models also (independent rear suspension). They are pricey. Also contact Cut'n Shoot Customs in Texas if you're serious about it. Randy does trike kits and is damn good at it.. He can help. Ken

Try Mototrike. My folks had theirs done and it was a great conversion. http://www.motortrike.com/

Champion is no longer in business. Hannigan, Roadsmith, and Motortrike are three quality conversion companies. None are cheap, though.

My Hannigan Transformer conversion was over $16K, in 2015.

Thanks for the replies. I've checked out the sites above that you guys mentioned. The prices are more than my 02 Road King is worth. I would like to find just a basic kit without the fancy stuff. Anyone have any info on those Voyager...quick bolt on and off kits??

I’ve seen a voyager equipped bike get stuck in a mild rut when the drive wheel was lifted off the ground by the outrigger wheels. Wasn’t a big trauma, but she had to get off and push the bike until the drive wheel was back on the ground.

Yeah....I've read about that problem a few times. That would really suck at the wrong place at the wrong time. That's like a turtle stuck on it's back.

You might be better off to sell your bike and buy an older conversion trike. A friend of mine just sold a decent 2005 Road Glide,with Champion conversion, for $10K.
