We are glad to have you with us Gary. You are a true inspiration. I can only imagine the ladders you've climbed to get here. Most of us are here because we can no longer support the weight or balance a two wheel bike. Some of us still ride two (I also have a Yamaha Stratoliner S) that I get out once in a while for a speed fix.

Remember what I told you earlier about the HUGE amount of experience here about. Most of it is on touring level bikes but I bet some have owned two wheel versions of your trike.

Good luck to you. :xszpv: :xszpv:

thanks my buddies built this kit for me out of a kit that was on a harley it has air shocks on each wheel its awesome however my girl got me a used motor trike conversion off craigslist for my upcoming birthday and 5 year anniversary of having gastric bypass (kinda like a second birthday) and im soon to be going true trike but im keeping the floorboards and were gonna turn the rear into a cargo trailer! unless anybody would be interested in it it was made to custom fit my 2004 honda shadow aero vt750 ca it cost us about 1000 in parts and labor if it would help someone else ride id be happy to sell it and break even or maybe around that ballpark i know riding is the 3rd best thing that ever happened to me beyond my sons birth and meeting my girl
