    Default Decided to go with Roadsmith

    Jim Purdy at Lucky's Cycles convinced me to go with this product for my 2015 Road Glide Special.

    Dang, it is not cheap when you consider:

    1 Crating

    2 Shipping

    3 Insurance

    4 Dealer install

    This Roadsmith HDTR conversion for my 2015 Road Glide special is going to cost me just south of $20,000.

    I could sell my bike and get a new Tri-Glide for this money.

    But it would not be a Road Glide!!!

    You get what you pay for and a quality trike isn't cheap. You are getting a quality trike that will ride better than a Triglide, have more storage capacity and will last you as long as you want it to. You won't be sorry that you spent the bucks for a great ride and I'm pretty sure when all is said and done, the money you spent on it won't be a concern. After putting some miles on it the only thing you will be thinking about is why you waited as long as you did to do it. Naturally everyone on here will demand you supply pictures. We are funny about that so you will be required to oblige. Don't let us down. Now you get to suffer through the wait but it will be worth it in the end. Can't wait to see the finished product and congratulations.

    Congrats. You forgot to include the cost of painting to match the host motorcycle, unless that was included in the price.

    Trike Lady, painting the trike whisky amber orange at the factory is included in the price. It is a "premium" paint which of course costs more.

    But it is a gorgeous color.

    Hi all,

    Yep, no one is twisting my arm to spend this money. I'm at a point in my life where I can afford it. Plus I REALLY want a trike and I think this Whiskey Amber Orange Road Glide Trike is going to look really good.

    It pretty much will be loaded. Here is the list of what I'm having installed:

    HDTR Kit

    HDTR Reverse

    HDTR Steering Kit

    Auxiliary 3 gallon fuel tank (I may need it when I do my two month road trip out west someday!)

    Black / Silver rear wheel package

    Parking Brake

    Main Body Whiskey Amber Premium Color

    Bank Angle Switch (required)(I actually don't know what that is. I forgot to ask the shop about it.)

    ABS Delete (my front wheel will still have factory ABS)

    Performance Sway Bar

    Roadsmith Chrome Nerf bumper

    Trailer Draw Bar

    Trailer Converter

    Pretty much going all the way now instead of going through the trouble of adding something later.

    Another factor is that I really like the owner of Lucky's Cycles, Jim Purdy. We hit if off pretty good. I feel like I can trust him and his team.

    Pictures will definitely been posted once I get the trike.

    Okay.

    It sound like it is going to be awesome when done.
