Welcome to the H-D Forums from Idaho , Great to have you here ! ENJOY !

 

Congratulations on your new trike! Is your wife still making excuses or does she go for rides on the trike? My wife's initial enthusiasm went away after one ride and now adds the harsh ride to her list of excuses! If you haven't taken her for a ride yet, I recommend practicing smooth driving first. There are some 2 wheeled habits to be altered and I hadn't adjusted to the trike dynamics before taking my favorite friend for a ride. For example, weaving around a bump or pothole is natural on a two wheeler but can rattle your dental work on a trike! I learned on this forum to cushion the bump with your front suspension and staddle with your rear wheels.. You will find a lot of useful information here while you adjust and eventually your only question will be, "Why did I wait so long?"!!

 

Congratulations on the trike. I got mine last summer after 50 years on two wheels. My wife was nervous getting on the cycles with me anymore and I was nervous because she was. She loves the trike and says she is very comfortable on it. Of course, replacing the whole suspension made a difference.

 

Congrats!

And, nice color choice ;-)

 

THIS! Same with my wife on my Street Glide, so we went to 3 wheels and now she loves going riding! On a sperate note, dude tell me about those fenders, is that a paint job, or some kind of vinyl coverings? Looks awesome!

 

All three fenders are covered in vinyl. I went to a local shop that does vinyl applications on cars and trucks (police cars, custom advertisements on panel vans) and worked with their artist. He took pictures of the FW and through computer magic, he came up with a design for me.

 

Congrats on the new ride from a guy turning 77 next week.

 

Absolutely Awesome!
