Welcome aboard. I'm new to trikes myself. I have an '06 VTX 1300 with the Motor trike kit. After we put some miles on our bikes, we need to swap notes.

</div>When do you expect it to be delivered? Is a local dealer doing it? Or is it coming from across the country?

Welcome Mingus! I've only had my trike for a couple of months. I love it and this is the right place to be for learning. They accept all questions and someone always has a good answer. Happy triking!

Arrived today - very nice but its been raining hard all day! It sounds great in the garage!
Will get Title and registration done tomorrow. No owners manual with the bike - any ideas where I might get one?

Mine is a Motor Trike, and Motor trike tells me they don't have owner's manuals. They emailed me a 2 page preventative maintenance print out. I guess contact Champion and ask. The bike I would ask the dealer if he has one. If not, try Ebay. I have an '06 VTX 1300. If you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to tell you what my manual says.
Great that you got the trike!
Have fun on it............:beerchug:
