Other than that, it looks pretty cool. I read that the angle is controled by sensors and is powered somehow......don't know if thats true...
Would sure be nice to lean though...

Anybody know of a "good deal" on a package to trike your HD? I've got an '01 Ultra, and I want a trike. Is it cheaper to trike your own bike, or buy a trike already running? I'm retired, so I can't justify thirty grand or so for a trike. I'd like to stay around 5 grand or under, if possible.

The only thing that I know you could do for around 5 grand would be Frankenstien trikes. They sell kits in that price range....does not come with a body..... Other option would be Mystery trikes straight axle set ups.....both are easy do it your self conversions.....good luck
