Default well....technically it is still a softail...

made some recent changes to my trike and thought i'd share with you guys. started life as an '05 night train. courtesy of a drunk driver in 09/'06, i am now required to ride a trike.

feedback? i chopped a set of struts and a fender, powdercoated tank, fenders, struts, footpegs, removed stock tailight and running turn/brake/running lights as one, relocated license plate on the swingarm...

grimm

PS-this is basically a double post, as i put the same pics up in the trike forum. put them here as well due to the higher traffic flow. hope that's ok.

Pretty awesome ride. Looks sweet.

How's the road spray on those giant tires whenever you get caught out in the rain?
