conversion
first i want to say thanks to all for the knowledge here. i was about to motetrike my 2004 soaftail to a motertrike but after reading some of the posts here am now considering a champion conversion. my question is this me and my girl ride 2 up all the time. i love my soaftail but at 62 its getting hard to hold up,i shattered my right leg while in the service and the arthurits is getting worse with age. do you guys think triking it out or trading for a triglide is the way to go? i know triking it out is cheaper because i own the bike,but safty is the major concern. i hate the thought of paymeants but its better than a accident. your advice is appreciated.

Not that your going to need this imediatelly, but I would suggest you add the cost of one engine rebuild and transmission rebuild into your price with the trike kit and see which is your better option price wise.
A new trike or new triked bike can be a good or bad choice money wise.
