Glad to read you are getting the hang of the 3 wheel lifestyle! Sweet looking bike too

Yes on the tire pressure per your advice. I'll trying softening the damper also as suggested.

Ordered a trunk yesterday. Called Mustang to locate a seat that fits and they say none of theirs will work on a trike. Any suggestions, Jim?

Thanks again.

It appears from the pic that you have stock C50 seats. Is there one bolt on the back of the passenger seat holding it down?? If so they are stock and there is no reason the Mustang won't fit. It is two separate seats.

Just purchased a 2008 with 1500 miles and we expect it to arrive late this week/early next week. Doc ordered me off two wheels and considering my age (66) & two spinal fusions, I'm taking his advice.

Having a hard time parting with our pristeen Honda Shadow Phantom. The wife and I have enjoyed it immensely, but it is time to give it up and make the transition. Our intended use is for small town commutes and weekend cruising on Texas hill country roads. No intent to put it on the super slab.

My decision was based on budget (under 12K) and size. We may migrate to a TriGlide sometime in the future, but at this point, I like the 100" length, 54" width and wheelbase which, combined, provide a configuration that will fit nicely in the garage. Hoping also that it will be easy to maneuver without a reverse option.

I'm reading lots of online advice that provides negative opinions, but many posts are from people who have never ridden/owned one. If you own one or owned one in the past, please give me some feedback?

Especially interested in how you think it will handle a single rider (140 lbs) and two up with combined weight of 260 lbs. Thanks in advance...

I weigh in at 300 my partner at 180 with a c50 no power problems can cruise at 60-65 all day up and down hill,hope this helps. xlt

Thanks for the feedback, xlt. We've had the Tramp for ten months now and we're very pleased. In fact, I have no desire to 'trade-up' as this trike is perfectly suited to our style. We're able to cruise at 70+ easily with two of us aboard; I like the nimble size, it looks great, and its paid for. Great trike and I'd do it all over again...

We have owned our C50 for a little over 2 years and love it. *I have done a few custom mods on the back seat because my wife has back issues. Built a custom rear seat in a "bobber style" with coil over shocks. What a difference for her. This trike is awesome up to about 70 mph. Check out my albums maybe they will give you some ideas. I had headshake with the original spoke rims and tires on the back. Changed them to polished aluminum car rims and new tires, I like the hot-rod look a lot better(personal opinion of course). Headshake is gone too. You will enjoy your trike greatly.

Have fun and ride safe.*
