Hi new member here! The new freewheeler has got me looking at getting a trike. I have a 2012 Heritage softtail now. Can the Heritage be converted to a trike easily?

Softtails can very easily be converted to a trike. My first was a 2000 Fat Boy, and I am currently riding a 2013 Fat Boy; both were converted using Champion kits. I personally love the look, quality, and handling of Champion, but Lehman, Hannigan, MotorTrike and others all make wonderful kits for your Heritage.

Welcome glad you joined us. What Nana said. Good luck with your search. RIDE SAFE
scroll down the forum list and find the thread called ( trike shopper) and your on your way to a conversion.
The folks you meet there are in the trike business and are sponsors on the forum and can be trusted to help you and not burn you.
Your heritage can easily be converted and if your handy with a wrench and can follow instructions you could do it yourself!
If not you can learn who to trust to do it for you.
there are discounts on parts just for being a member of trike talk. We get a break on parts and a place to communicate with like minded folks and Trike talk gets the support it needs to operate.
Win, Win situation amigo.
I bought my Champion straight axle kit and raked triple tree through the forums administrator and was very glad I did. I had no worries about quality and no worries about transfers of money.

the difference between a good trike and a bad one depends entirely on the integrity of it's builder!

It can be converted. I have an 02 dyna that I want to turn into an old school trike. Welcome Jim
Thanx for all the responses guys (and gals). Still in the deciding stages of what to do, if i want to do it and so on. Sounds to me like a conversion cost in the range of $10,000 (please correct me if i'm wrong) If thats true wouldn't cost a whole lot more to sell my 2 wheeler and get factory trike (prob Freewheeler). Thanx again for making me feel welcome!!

Hey guys think i'm bout ready to pull the trigger on getting a vivid black freewheeler!! I was gonna add a windshield, backrest, luggage rack. A few questions for y'all knowledgeable folks.
1) Am i gonna have to put new pipes to get the sound i want. (my heritage i put python slip ons and was happy with the sound)
2) Anyone know if the stock seat is suffice or should i get the sundowner.
Try just removing the CAT first from the header pipe. Stick with the stock header pipe. This will add a little sound to the exhaust. See if you like it before spending the money on different mufflers. Your going to want to remove the CAT anyway. Add a free flow air cleaner and a tuner and you will be good to go. You'll love the FreeWheeler.
