I would like to see some accessories actually installed on my trike. The only thing I have so far is a trailer and hitch. I'm hoping Santa is bringing some, but they will be the first in what I hope is a long line of accessories for the yella thing.

I use a small bungee cord, you know that real small one they give you with the set that you never seem to have a use for. I wrap it around the front brake lever and hand grip for a simple way to keep the Wing from rolling. Only a suggestion, it works for me.
Thank you,

I use a velcro strap to hold my front brake and leave it first gear if needed on a slope when parked

The more ideas you have, the better our chances of having a good one ... Or at least giving someone else a good one ...
Chrome rails to fit on top of the fenders.
These look cool and they protect the fender from boot scuffs. I know someone who had them made but that's too expensive (about $400 for eight thin rails about 14 inches long each and curved to fit the fender).
I'd like to see a seat arrangement for the Frankenstein that provides a comfortable arrangement for passenger - something that goes back further than any two wheeler setup, so driver and passenger are not so 'scrunched up'.

Goldwings has a reverse that locks the bike in forward/reward directions.
I will think about a parking brake
A reclining passenger seat so I could sleep better . . . sleepin' sittin' up is a drag, but I manage . . .
I think it would b cool if someone would make custom bodies/tail lights for our trikes. I think as trikes become more popular it may happen.
a garage door opener
If you have a spare garage door opener, buy a spst push button swithc from radio shack. solder 2 wires to bypass the button on the garage door opener, velcro or double sided tape the garage door opener to the back side (under the faring) of either glove box, dirll a small hole above the glove box to mount the switch, and you're in business. PS if you have ever bought strip led lights, the switch normally comes with them.

How about a front tire that's made for a trike and gets 40,000 miles.
Also, some sort of trike adapter that enables a bike jack to lift a trike from the rear with out tipping.

PitBull Lifts has and adapter for their lift that slids over on rail and supports the triglide under the transmission for lifting several pictures of it here:

A friend of mine put a ball valve in the brake line and it works just great as a parking brake!
Ride safe!!! Lots of idiots out there!!!
COMANCHE, I took an old Vicks Chloraseptic spray bottle, filled it with water and put it in the windshield pouch. When I get hot I grab the bottle and spray - feels really great on a real hot day. Only problem (very minor) is wiping off your sunglasses..... or let them just dry off by themselves.
The Vicks bottle has a very fine spray which is what I like.
