I see that there are basically three options for the Cross Country. The California Side Car, Motor Trike, and Roadsmith. Each one is the same basic approach. Of course each has a different suspension idea. The best looking to me seems to be the CSC. However, it looks to be the one with the smallest lower trunk.
I would love to see pictures of the open trunk showing width, depth, and how the door opens. Manufacturers love to put pics of the back showing off the lights and the lines of the bike.
Next is where do they all put the factory communications equipment? The Cross Country series loads all the optional items UNDER the fender from the factory. Such as the CB/Intercom and the XM/Sirius.
Also, since the factory antennas mount between the saddlebags and the rear tire area, what do they do with them?
Our plan is to get the trike now and have it paid for before we retire. Do not want to be saddled with debt at that time. We still run on two wheels and at 53 I have zero muscle, joint, or back problems. So this is for the future. We think month-long trips would be easier in a trike while still giving us the experience of the motorcycle.
As you can tell, we like Victories. Have been planning a Cross Country Tour purchase as soon as we are able. Kind of watching the economy and my job. I am probably on the government sequester list.
Any help and pictures would be appreciated. I am asking the same questions to the above mentioned manufacturers.
