What is the Best Mod you did to your Trike?

[Papa Zook]

What is the best mod you did to your trike? If you have more than one that you really like, then name the top two or three in order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd and what you like about each one. This can be a modification, a tuner, paint job, handlebar, engine upgrade, accessory etc.


Also, post your trike info first, example:

Harley Ultra Hannigan Conversion
or
Honda GL1800 Roadsmith Conversion
or
Harley Tri-Glide

2011 Tri-Glide .......
1]True duels, And a stage 1.........
2] Mechanical Reverse....

[Yanko]

Had Rekluse clutch installed on 2015 Triglide. With long traffic lights in Florida, makes life easier for old hands.

GL1800 with Roadsmith trike:

1. Traxxion AK-20 cartridges and springs in forks.

2. Safety cap on auxiliary fuel switch so it could not be accidently turned on.

3. Centramatic balancers on front wheel

Installed a dual Russell day long saddle and Heli handle bars on a Honda F6B with Lehman conversation.

Honda Gl1800

Handle Bar Risers
Back Rest
Baker Wings under the Mirrors
Airhawk R Seat Cushion
Highway Pegs

All made me more comfortable for long rides

[Trikindan]

1. Rake kit from Zook
2. Avon Trike Tire.

Both made remarkable improvements in ride and handling.

I had to look this up but then wondered why they show the bike version with 3 balancers and the trike version with just 2. Or am I reading it wrong?

Bike - 2 on front - 1 on rear

Trike - 2 on front - 0 on rear (they don't fit car tires like trikes use.)

Wow! Learned my one new thing for the day. Guess I better stop reading now. Don't want to overload my pea brain.

Our 2004 GL1800 Champion was pretty much loaded when we got it. In order, our best 3 mods we put on:

1) Diamond Custom Seat - Turned a 300 mile trike into an easy 600+ mile trike

2) RAM Mounts - mounts for the GPS, Phones and Drink Holders

3) Pinstriping from Chicken Scratchin' by Lynus

Just 'cause it looks cool.

2011 Tri-Glide sold, but did the same thing to it as the current-

2014 Tri-Glide

There are 3 things I've done that are equally important...without all 3 of these, I would not be comfortable riding it.

1. Performance Plus Stage I

1. One-off handlebars that put the grips exactly where they need to be for my shoulder not to hurt

1. Back-rest

Tons of other mods that really make the trike more enjoyable, safer, more comfortable & fun...but the above three are necessary for me.

2005 Road Star w/ Champion conversion

1- Memphis Shades fairing w/ 12" windshield and lower wind deflectors
2- Cobra slip ons
3- Grasshopper backrest
Those are the top 3, subject to change when I replace the stock seats with ED seats. Also, have Shark Audio 250w stereo, Joe Florida trike LED kit and have removed the AIS. And of course, more to follow.

2000 gw1500se with champion kit

1. rake kit 6 deg.

2. Tom Simmons Seat.

[FuzzyWuzHe]

For me it was the Zeppelin seat. Fit me like a glove and made it way easier to stay in the saddle ... not too mention the infinite seat positions at the touch of your fingers.

Hi Ozarkryder, Could you please post a picture of your RAM Mounts showing your GPS, Phone & Drink Holder. I am just starting to look for something to mount my on my 03 Goldwing Trike?
Thanks in advance
