Wifes 2007 Sportster 1200 with Frankenstein Trike upgrade

[KindaOldTriker]

We finally got back my wifes 2007 HD Sportster 1200 with the new FRANKENSTEIN TRIKES upgrade.
It was held up quite a while by the painter who couldn't match the pearl yellow and finally had to buy a qt. from Harley for $300!

It looks great! It was finally nice enough to get it out of the garage for a few quick photos after installing a few upgrades, her new small HD detachable luggage rack for her solo seat ( It has a NIGHTSTER seat on it that fits perfect).
She has also been wanting some larger 'footboards' to move her feet around a bit more. HD just came out with a 4" footboard for Sportsters but we opted for the Kuryakyn 'Dually Iso Pegs' that come in an assy. with the adjustable Heel Stirrups for a reduced cost. #8062.

She's keeping the load V&H short shots that we got with the kit, because, according to her, there is no such thing as too loud!

She can't wait to get out on the bike when it gets a little nicer.
She only rode the two-wheel Sportster a couple times in the last 2 1/2 years due to a back injury and two subsequent surgeries. This was the only solution we saw to her still owning HER OWN bike. She just didn't want to ride on the back of my Tri-Glide. and, she doesn't like the looks of the CanAms.

That is beautiful! You'd better be careful, or your wife will draw more attention than you out on the road!

I'm sure you are right! That is a lot more of a rare sight than a red TriGlide!
I also still have my Competition Yellow Victory Jackpot so we'll make a "cute couple" all in yellow!
She can't wait to get to a couple nearby HD dealers and a few 'bike nights' that won't get started up here for a few more months yet.

I put an HD 'Heavy Breather' on the Sportster trike yesterday. A BIG hunk of chrome! I decided to do it since I need to get a re-map with the V&H short shots anyhow.
I didn't like how it left a lot of the throttle body visible so I looked through some of HD's catalog stick-on bling for something to mount on the throttle body taped hole where I removed a bracket. While I was looking through the catalog I remembered I had an old belt buckle I didn't use. A bit of McGiver-ing and I had a nice cover. It will do until I stumble on another piece of bling that fills the hole even better.

Making ones own bling is always better. Nice job.

I wonder if my wife could ride a trike like that. She is 4'10". Not comfortable for her to be on 2 wheels and much happier with her sitting behind me but maybe??

Great looking trike.

[AZTriGlide]

Looks great! Enjoy your "new" ride!!

My wife is 5' 1", and could not stradle MOST bikes pipes, etc. EVEN IF she could put both feet flat ( A MUST IMO). Her Sportster LOW was perfect after we lowered even another 1" and put the solo NIGHTSTER seat on. but, as I said she hurt her back and had two surgeries and we both didn't trust her getting on/off her bike and especially horsing it around in parking lots. The trike was the savior to her owning a motorcycle. They are harder ( for both of us) to throw your leg over without dinging up fender paint but with the trike she can use foot pegs or passenger foot pegs to help stradle it. it won't fall over!
