the things i dont like about motor trike is low ground clearance because of the framing...
and shorter wheelbases...longer wheelbases = better ride...just like in trucks

The wife has a 07 Ultra with a DFT Conversion on it, which is independent suspension. It has plenty of ground clearance (She's had to drive over roadside curbs before to get out of parking spots). As far as the ride, all I can say is WOW!!! It's much smoother than my Street Glide. You can fly over railroad crossings and really barely even feel it.

Not sure if you will be able to see the picks. If not I can repost them.

It really is a nice kit.
