WHEN HELP IS OFFERED, A SIMPLE "THANK YOU" IS APPRECIATED.
What do I like about my Trike. Well, my response to that is, what is there NOT to like about my ride. There are a few adjustments I have to make and that's not the trike's fault. I love the ride and man oh man, that trunk is awesome. I love how the door raises up from the trailer hitch. I've seen others and they look like they have a large trunk, but to be honest, I still think mine is bigger. No matter, I'm very happy with it.
I rode one trike with an Independant Suspension and that was just once so I can't speak to that. The one complaint I have is with the trailer hitch. That flat bar bounces and it has bent my license plate. Also, I would like to see the license plate bracket mounted higher. I got pulled over because the trooper couldn't see the plate because of the ball. At least he didn't give me a ticket. Told me to remove that ball, which I still haven't done. But, that has been fixed.
With some great advise from LeMann, I got a receiver style hitch built. Nice have a Navy Certified Nuclear Welder in our chapter. Built me one great hitch. Like I said, that is the only real issue I have with the ride. One other piece of advise, thanks LeMan, is if you have to move the brake block on the back axle, be careful in putting it back. It can hit the frame and cause a brake fluid leak. I speak from experience. Also, I found that copper crush washers work the best. And they are cheaper from Napa then Honda...
Well, I think that about covers it. This is my first trike and I'm thinking it may be my last one too. I love it, going to take care of it and let it take me and my lady to wonderful places.

I bought my Lehman trike in April 2018 with 8000 miles on it,oh boy do I love it, it's great not having to balance a heavy bike anymore.
I love the profile of the Raider conversion, most people don't relize that it's a Sportster ! It gets a lot of attention with it's uniqueness. My wife likes the fact that there is a trunk for her to stow her purse.
Just saw that I posted in this thread half way back …. my bad.
