With the Tilting Motorworks kit, with the tilt-lock option, that's $15K on it's own.
Also a lot of other cool options, reverse, etc That kit seems to be very well engineered, and well built.
So, it's not that bad of a deal really. I thought of having the kit installed on my RK, if I start having troubles keeping it up..

I wonder how it handles? Plenty of braking power it appears, looks like an engineering masterpiece,or, hopefully not,a nightmare. Test ride. Also space to mount more forward facing lights !

Hell yeah I’d take that for a rip. I think it’s done pretty well and doesn’t look so out of place like other 3 wheel vehicles. I bet in most areas it would get all the attention wherever it was parked because it’s so different without being gaudy. I’d like to see the fairings on a model.

The Road Glide would probably look too snowmobile like but I bet the batwing would look good.

Saw them in Daytona during Bike Week, very cool, but perhaps a solution to a non-existent problem.
Then again, how many custom bike have design features more related to style than function.
It's interesting, but if i was looking for three wheels, I would stick to something more simple and basic - but that's just me.

Seems like a viable option for those that need to move on to a trike but would still like the bike to handle close to the way it was traditionally designed.
