4 U Trike Riders
Any Trike riders on the forum, if so I'd like to hear the pros & cons on A trike. Been wondering if I would enjoy one. Am getting old an lazy I guess in my older days.

I saw this down at Myrtle, but I don't know much about it.

RE: 4 U Trike Riders
A very good friend of mine has been riding for 40+ years and recently had his bike "triked out " with a Champion kit and added a trailer for it as well . He's 68 and has leg problems so its tough for him to hold up the big bike loaded and his wife included . He feels alot more confident and at ease now, not to mention he's never home, always on the road ....LOL ! He said he wishes he had done it long ago, as he has lost alot of " road time " trying to decide ....If you can afford the cost , love to ride , and feel uneasy on 2 wheels , its a great alternative ...Go for it .........[sm=smiley20.gif]

My father is in the process of having his 2002 FLHTCI converted to a trike using the kit from Motortrike. He's over 60 now and has knee problems from working in a steel plant all of his life. Since he loves his Harley but was struggling with his knee problem, a trike was a good solution for him, not to mention that he loves the style. We're supposed to be picking the trike up in about 2 weeks to take to a rally. He researched trikes for a while before deciding on which one to go with for a conversion. The kit he chose looks incredible. I can't wait to see it.

RE: 4 U Trike Riders
I love my trike but there are some down sides. Just off the top of my head, some are: Fuel mileage goes down, Dyno tuning is almost impossible to find, Harley dealers are quick to disqualify you because it is a 'trike' problem. I have a Lehman Renegade conversion on my 07 FLHTCU Ultra Classic. The Lehman people are unbeatable. They have assisted me, stepped up when it was needed, and they have a vast knowledge of there products. The only thing I wish I could do is solve the 'heat' problem on the UC. I should get some help with that at my next service I am going to go with sythetic oil and get it DYNOed.
