Nice!!!

:cool: any engine modification?... I had thought of triking my 2000, that was before some yahoo tow truck driver dropped it off the bed of his truck :mad: So how's it ride now... Better?

Thanks. No engine mods. Rides good.

Nice. Minimalist. I like it. ThumbUp

One question -- why keep the bike fender in the center? I see that on a lot of conversions. I don't know why it's done.


Well in this case, with a Frankenstein conversion the original bike fender contains the rear lights (tail, brake and turn signals). Not to mention several modifications would have to be made for housing the seat.
 
Great looking trike! We have two 1200 Sportsters with Champion conversions... it was a hard decision between Champion and Frankenstein, they are both great kits.

Did you do a rake kit on the front? In my case, I rode it briefly with just the standard front end and it did not handle well. Once I installed a 5 degree rake kit on the front it now handles like it's on rails.

Yeah, I did 4 degree rake. Came withe the kit I bought. Rides very good.
