Yeah, thats what I said about electric starters, springs in the rear and chokes on fuel injected engines...Who needs them? Now, wouldn't have a bike without them. Times change!

You can also get reverse from your Harley dealer. The reverse they are using on the trike can be used with two wheels. If you buy a new bike and have it installed before delivery it will be included as part of your two year warranty. I don't pick mine up until April so I am still thinking on it. I had a Goldwing for 10 years. With back issues I am strongly considering it.

I know this is a very late response but I'd ask blarg to try doing this with a 300 lb motorcycle, then try to imagine doing it with a 900 lb motorcycle, specially if it's sporting a full fairing (handlebar or frame mounted, take your pick!) and they'll have their answer!

I've never been a fan of vehicles with an odd number of wheels. Tried a Harley trike once at a factory demo ride day at a local dealer. It was an interesting experience and I'm glad I tried it but pretty much came away from it with the attitude of, "no way!" I wouldn't mind trying a Can-Am just for the comparison but, for me I think, if I get to the point where two wheeling it isn't an option anymore, I'll find me a nice roadster and go from there. To each their own though!

I'm interested in a reverse option. No need for me to justify it on here or make excuses for wanting it. Just makes sense to have it, at least for those that want it. If all i have to do is pull a leaver that backs the bike up for me, it's all good in my books.
