Welcome from Mississippi ,check out the sponsors on the right side of the page as well as Frankenstein Trikes .Paint match fenders ,good too go.
Welcome from Oregon. My personal recomendations would be any conversion with IRS suspension for a more comfortable ride.

Hello Willie and welcome to the website from the U.P. of Michigan.
Welcome to TT and the 3 world from SW MO. True words there . You pretty much can't go wrong with the major kit makers. The styling that appeals to you, options you want, IRS or solid axle and what kit will fit your bike are the big factors. Most important, check out the installer - the finest trike kit can be turned into junk by a bad installation. I know a few folks that have gone with their 2nd choice because the installer of choice 1 was too far away or the local one was iffy with the installation or service after the build. Riding as many different brands as you can will also help in you decision.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
Thanks for all the Welcomes,,,,,as I travel thru this new riding adventure I will keep all up dated. I look foreward to exchanging stories and new experiances. Hopefully I will be able to help others as you all do as I learn the "Trike Way" of riding.
Again.....thanks

Willie, I dealt with the problem of custom paint when converting to a trike, but mine was just a custom "color mix" to get the color right and then pin striping. When you convert, you can get the kit unpainted and then have you personal painter do the paint on the kit if you have a lot of graphics. The indi suspension is really nice (what I have) and there are a lot of really good kits out there. I would suggest that you have the conversion done by a person well experienced in doing trikes professionally. You don't want problems later when you are on the road. Good luck and post pictures when you get-r-done! Ride safe.
