Outstanding ThumbUp

I like it. Very good lookin. Very stylish.

VERY VERY NICE.....hope to see one on the road soon!
:pepper:

Nice lookin ride!!!! :10:

Nice

This is just perfect. Great lines, much better looking than Harley Tri-Glide (IMHO). I want one.

To be a dissenter here but the styling fails for me in two areas. Yes it looks good from the 3/4 front view but side and back do nothing for me. They follow the same old square off features of all the other trikes out there without any regards to the inherent lines and curves of this particulars bike's body. The tank and seat flow well in a nice curve and then suddenly it stops and goes to a flat plane with no transition. Two nicely curved fenders with a big square slab stuck in between.No follow through or integration into the rest of the lines. IMHO if you want to see what can be done with carrying thru on a styling theme look at what Lehman has done in their Vision Trike. Big improvement on the factory lines. Probably lots of disagreement here but that's how I see it.

Thank you for breaking the ice, as I'm scrolling down the comments thinking, Oh Really I just don't see it, I was worried I'd be the first to say it doesn't do anything for me!
There is just something about it that does nothing for me, it's not ugly, but it doesn't look right to me!

It needs a top box......

While certainly not new to the business of creating trike conversions for the Indian brand, Roadsmith is pleased to be the first trike company to offer a conversion kit for the new Polaris-based Indians introduced at the Sturgis Rally last year. This is Roadsmith’s third version of an Indian trike (having designed trike conversions for all of the previous iterations of the Indian brand) and, given the initial reception of the motorcycle, it appears this will be the Indian brand that’s going to be around for a very long time.<br />

Roadsmith’s new Indian trike, like the motorcycle itself, promises to be an instant success. A world-class touring motorcycle, coupled with Roadsmith’s 42-year history of building high-quality, independent rear suspension trike conversions, combines to deliver a stylish, new trike that should quickly prove to be one of the company’s top sellers.<br />

Unique styling and incredible performance are the hallmarks of the new Indian brand and these will not be lost on the trike version. Taking its styling cues from the Indian’s iconic, curvaceous fenders, the new Roadsmith Indian Trike looks as if it slipped out of the same time machine as the motorcycle itself. As for the performance, the Indian’s new 111 cu. in. motor is incredibly smooth and powerful and will easily propel this new trike to comfortable cruising speeds and beyond. Adding Roadsmith’s proven, silent, electric reverse, while retaining the bike’s ABS braking system, promises complete control of the trike, no matter which direction the rider is headed.<br />

In the end, the new Roadsmith Indian Trike combines the attributes of a historically significant, high-performance touring motorcycle, with the comfort, safety and handling of a Roadsmith Trike. The result? Nothing less than a 3-wheeled “personal time machine” guaranteed to move the rider through time and space with a twist of the throttle.<br />
