Before you buy a trike

As a reminder, before ever buying a trike, get the VIN and be sure to enter it here (CARFAX).

In the last couple of months, there's been several trikes brought here for service/repair. Once the plastic is off, it becomes easy to see that the bike, now a trike, had been in a major wreck prior to becoming a trike. For example, plastic that is now painted a different color, damaged exhaust systems (headers and/or mufflers), damaged engine guards, cracked frames in the steering head race area, etc.

Usually dealers who buy wrecked Wings, sell them for less, and are resistant to "offering up" their VINS. There's lots of shady trike dealers all competing to sell for less. Often the cheapest way for them to do that is to start with a wrecked Wing.

Another point is the conversion manufacturer and if they are still in business as spare parts can be a nightmare to find.

Always do your homework before buying, this will be alot more productive for you

Do not be afraid to ask questions of a seller, if he does not answer your question or says I dunno, run away

Thank you Gregg,

Good information to remember :GL1800:
