Trike Modifications
Im currently buying a 1974 Shovelhead Cone Motor Trike with a 5 speed tranny in 4 speed case and im looking to get a 5 speed tranny with reverse gear, plus I need to find someone with some knowledge on seat and control modification as I wrecked a Panhead in 1988 and am paralyzed from the chest down and Im just now trying to get back into riding, I need ideas and advice. Also looking for early model foot rocker clutch.

RE: Trike Modifications
Congratulations on trying to get back into riding!
I've never seen a 5 speed w/reverse. Have seen a set-up that adds a reverse as some kind of add-on deal.
How will you operate the rocker clutch? Most folks I've seen in similar situations use a hand shift with a clutch lever mounted on it.
At any rate, do not get a new rocker from V-Twin. They are junk, through-and-through. I've seen originals on e-Bay, but they are pricey.

RE: Trike Modifications
Thanx for the feedback as far as the tranny goes i think that i will have to find one with reverse and buy it out right and for the clutch my left hand has minnimal grip so what i tried befor is to take a hand control from a car and stand it virtically with a rod that goes to the rocker clutch so i push foward for clutch and sideways for the rear brakes
