I have a Harley Sportster that I am looking to put a trike conversion kit on. For anyone who is familiar with Frankenstein is there a way to use your saddlebags or what other storage options can be used with this kit?

Have a machinist build you a rack that bolts the the rear end housing and put a bag on it.
Here's a page from their website of a sporty with a tourpak: http://frankensteintrikes.com/photos...r_rich_08.html
Below is one of the pics from the above page.
Retired trike builder
America's first lady trike builder.
Here is how I added storage to my Frankenstein conversion.
Now with new bars and lockable storage.
I just put an expandable small bag on my fender rack. It holds everything I need including my leather jacket if needed. I plan on adding a tool bag to the front also. As Trike Lady pointed out they also make a large luggage rack for the sportsters. For long trips I just bungee down a large waterproof duffel bag on the fender rack. You have endless tie down points with the fender brackets.
I mounted a Yamaha tour trunk on my luggage rack,it will hold 2 half helmets or 1 full face. I also have a tool pouch on the front fork and horse pommel bags sitting on the fender supports. I attached them like full size saddlebags under the seat.
Oh yeah, I also have a small tank bag for daily use and a large expandable.
I would love to see any picture of bags strapped to fender supports. This is where I was thinking just not sure about it. Anyone with any pic of this?
Ride on
