You can add a sidecar to your bike way cheaper than putting a trike kit on it. Check out Hannigan motorsports. www.hannigantrikes.com , they do trikes, but also sell and install a wide selection of sidecars, from small, lightweight ones to others that will easily carry 2 people. There is a learning curve to riding with a sidecar though, it is a lot different than being on 2 wheels, or a trike.

My wife and I both have Hannigan sidecars on our bikes and are very happy with them. We did a four month, 15,000 mile ride on them last year, and had a blast.

Besides, sidecars are way cooler than trikes. Everywhere we go people come over to check out our rides.

And no, I don't work for Hannigan.

Consider finding a used complete trike bargain B4 converting your glide. Less $$$ while you decide what will work for you.

Just recently made the switch from 2 wheels to 3. We found a used conversion trike with low miles at a very reasonable price. Trike is a DFT conversion with IRS. Do your research - plenty of great options out there.
