    Default Newbie from Florida

    Hi all, my name is Michelle. I am a soon to be new rider. My husband had a custom trike when I met him and I rode on the back for about five years until he switched to a Harley Sportster. He has now upgraded to a electraglide Ultra Classic and has passed his Sportster on to me. I recently took my rider traing course and made the decision 2 wheels are not for me so we will be trikin the sportster out. We are going back and forth between the Voyager kit and a full conversions kit. Money is not a huge factor but is somewhat so we are trying to do our homework before making the final decision. Any input would be welcomed.

    I look forward to posting here with you all.

    I have had a couple of sportster's myself and like the handling of them. But for long distance runs and comfort the Freewheeler will be a better choice.

    I would love a Freewheeler!...that is definitely my style preference just can't afford it. Don't really think we would get enough on trade for the sportster to make the payments doable. The way I will be funding the conversions has zero interest so the payments will be very doable with everything else we have going on
