    Default to trike or not?

    I have an 1100 vstar classic. It only has 13K miles. I have been looking for a trike but just can't find one in my price range. So far the only kit I have found is the triwing kit and know nothing about them and was wondering how my bike would be with a trike kit. Are there any other kits or is the triwing a good kit?

    Thanks Butch

    Wish I could help, I am still learning how many trike types there are out there, I'm sure someone here has the answer you seek. I'll be watching this too as part of the "learning curve"

    I have a tri-wing kit on my 05 Yamaha venture that I put on it, straight axle, [7 1/2 ford], no rake but don't feel I need it, runs great but needs shocks at monument. wasn't feeling great last summer so 'I've been putting it off. got a replacement swing arm shock already. make a offer maybe I'll sell it to you.

    pm me a email address I'll send pictures,

    Triwing is the only company I have found that makes a kit for the 1100 vstar classic. So the choice is do it or not. I only have 10k to either buy a trike or do mine.

    Just be patient and keep looking, we picked up our 08' Venture/Hannigan for just a few Grand more than what you have to spend now. The deals are out there, you just have to find them.
    That being said, Jonsey's triwing trike is a nice ride that would more than satisfy your need for three wheels. I've tail-gunned for that lunatic more than once

    I totally agree with Ragtop here. You might check within a 500 mile radius of your area for deals. Maybe Craigslist, city news papers, etc...

    Hopefully you find a good deal very very soon.

    So........In other words what your saying is; unless it has wheels, tires, IRS, and disc brakes (which you didn't spell correctly) it is sub par? Hmm, I have seen many of the top manufactures using solid axles for one.

    Well I have been talking to triwing the last couple days and I might just do my bike. Low miles and I know what I have. Not in a big rush but have to decide one way or the other.

    Well Butch, if you can do that within your budget I agree, that would be the way to go man. As you stated; "Low miles and I know what I have."

    Couldn't argue with that at all. Ya know the bike and I am assuming you like it. Of course there will be a learning curve going from 2 wheels to 3, but in the end you will enjoy it!
