Default 82 just bought a ultra glide

I bid on a trike kit on eBay(way to cheap) I had a goldwing that I thought it would go on. Even though the pics of the Wing and Harley were the same towpac wanted over 800.00 for brackets for the wing. I sold the wing and.bought a ultra glide classic. I am in Tx. For about 3 months and I will go back to Az. To put the kit on the ultra. I am 82 and rode harleys for years. Went to wings. Now back to Harleys. I just don't have the power I used to have. Need the other wheels. What do you guys think about the trike kits?

Welcome to the forum!
I may go that way some day but have never ridden a trike so I can't offer any advice other that go to the forum section dedicated to those who ride them. you will probably get more answers there.

My buddy converted his 2008 Ultra to a trike. He went Champion and it is real nice. Kind of strange to be on a "bike" but no leaning or feet down.Once you get used to it is pretty dang fun.
He went this way because his knees finally could not handle 2 wheels after taking rounds through them in Vietnam and he had dropped the bike on himself a couple times.
