Just checked on line the price of those fender rails. $160. Not bad. They look pretty cool.
I'd love to see a nice affordable and easy way to have a reverse gear on my Valkyrie, lol.
I never could figure out why Honda included a reverse option for the Valkyries that were made for Japan but not for the US market.
Smaller parking spaces.
When I lived in Japan you had to show proof that you had a parking space (which were quite expensive) for your vehicle BEFORE you could purchase it. The proof would be provided in the form of a statement from the local police who actually checked out the proposed parking space.
In the case of most M/C owners they'd park in the narrow alley (4 or 5 feet wide) between their house and their neighbor's house and a reverse gear would be very handy.
I'd love to see a bolt on additional rider floorboard which, in effect, would make a much longer board on my Tri Glide. There are some very attractive full length boards, but by the time they're colormatched and installed the cost can be about $1500 or more. And the additional board must be strong enough to support my full weight.
Backup lights/beeper for my TriGlide...not that crap that JCW has...
Ride safe!

Would LOVE to be able to slide the passenger backrest and tour pak forward to use as a driver backrest. Much more comfortable supported position for my back . A company makes one for 2 wheels but would be very expensive for the Tri Glide. They would have to modify the frame, etc. because of the wiring.

a parking brake is compulsory in the uk (and make sense) but a hydraulic parking brake is illegal, the oddity here is why an auto trike would require a parking brake...
If you want the tour pack in the original position and moved up for back support when riding solo, you can have that today without frame modification and at low cost. Have a foam bolster made to fit between your back and the tour pack.

I'd like to see HD make a USB adapter plug for their radios like they added to the Ultra 'Limited'. I'd like to get rid of XM ($$$$) and just put a ton of music on a thumb drive.
I do have a SDcard slot in my Garmin 665 BUT it's a pain to insert into the unit and I don't ride with the GPS all the time.

just keep a velcro strap handy on your bars....pull in your front brake lever & strap around it.....DONE
Ive got a parking brake on my trike(Grinnall 1200) but have had problems with it not holding properly, not use it much preffering to leave it in gear, but just had it serviced, so hopefully its ok now, only just got through the MOT last time!.... more £££££££££££

I would like to see some kind of panniers or luggage cases fitted or after market items, Oh I know I've got a top box already on mine, plus a small boot, but it would be nice to be able to stow more stuff for holidays- camping trips etc.
I just read a text about trike parking brakes. Would a Velcro strap wrapped around the front brake lever work ? Or a moveable tab to keep the foot brake pressed down while parked?

They sell lockable hand lever locks, to lock the brake lever applied, and with a little more security, since no one can just undo your velcro that's walking by. I don't know if this is allowed, someone correct me if it's not, but here's a link to what I'm talking about. I think more than a few places make them. Think I've seen them on ebay. I'd say, though, that you can scratch things unless you line this in a little rubber. That's my solution, anyway.

Tried some of the locking levers, but didn’t fit well for me….then found an outfit called Bullet Brake.
Wish I had invented this. Love mine.
