I am going to trike my '98 Valk Tourer and would like any info. I can get on the various kits. Also any known problems with them. Thanks.

I have a 97 Valkyrie (Standard, although with all the modifications I've done she's Tourer now) with the Motor Trike kit. I have had no issues with it. Mine is one if their first models and I do know that they now offer more options.

If I had a Honda, I'd put this on it.

All the major companies make good kits. The real difference is in the installation. Are you doing it yourself or going to have it done? Some companies will not sell to a DIY. If you are having it installed then find a good installer and review your wants with them. Determine if you want straight axle or IRS, There are slight differences depending on how you ride. Most of the Valk kits have the same general look. Makes a GREAT trike. This ought to get you going.

Hi ya Phil52,
I have a 99 Interstate and I chose the California Sidecar conversion as my choice. I like the looks and the great workmanship they provided. Look at as many conversions as you can, ride as many as you can, check out the options you want and MOST IMPORTANT---GET A GOOD INSTALLER !! All of them have their points of greatness, so be careful--you will not be able to EVER quit smiling and get all the bugs from between your teeth.

I have a 99 Interstate that has the Roadsmith kit. Love the look and ride.
I saw a DFT on a VALKYRIE ,looked Great. Also it's an I D rear. You would have to go to DFT site and ask about it . Not sold. Specifically for the Valkyrie but they can set it up. Talk to Leone the owner tell him I sent you.
