Pretty much anything from the P&A Book in the Touring Section will fit. It will usually state if it doesn't. Heck, I've got take offs from my 2004 & 2008 Ultras on my 2012 Trike. The dealer keeps telling me all my add-ons don't increase the value of the trade, so I take everything off and sell it or use it.

As expected, I always get a lot of questions when I am out and about on my trike. Inevitably, someone brings up the age issue. They'll say, "Well, that's a nice option. None of us are getting any younger." I say, "I own it simply because I LIKE it. You can, too."
Everybody likes to tease the triker - until they need a spare wrench, a first aid kit, or a CB to call for assistance. They're large and fat geezer glides, until you need one to tailgun a group of bikes in the rain on the interstate, or need a passenger seat for someone's old lady whose **** is sore from bouncing 200 miles on a Dyna.
It's a messed up stereotype, and we trikers need to step up and and say that owning a trike isn't necessarily an age thing. It can be a choice.
I am also in a bike club, and get teased for not having tattoos, earrings, or a beer belly. I say, "Fat tattooted bikers with earrings rolling on a bagger with mini-apes are as image conformist as a Catholic girls' prep school. That style makes them look like every other 'rebel' biker. Hey, no tatts and earrings makes me a real rebel. Riding a trike is just the icing on the cake."

Funny how age is almost always mentioned with a TG. I have a TG because I wanted the comfort, added safety, and storage on the TG. I don't need it because I'm some old geezer who can't get it up on two wheels anymore.

I have chosen a Trike because Ive had two minor back surgerys and at times my right leg gets weak plus I just like the stance,look,and feel of the Trike.Anyone can say or think what they want that doesn't bother me at all.Im way past all that in my life,Plus ,this is a retirement present to myself and the new solid color red is just the best looking bike Ive ever seen
