I have wanted a bike for a long time but never made the jump. Getting older with kids leaving school and home, and coming into a small settlement, it’s time. But now older, DW, aka My Queen, will only allow a trike. I landed here from both Google and from other trike owners for information. Feel like this is a major purchase (it is) and I want to be somewhat knowledgeable in choosing my first bike/trike ever.

What I have come to learn is this: RIDE IT. If you like it, buy it. If you are uncomfortable, PASS. Too many choices, options, kits, tire pressures, preferences, and other variances to say what is “best.” Truly appreciate this forum and one other for a wealth of Wing and trike info. Hopefully, if the ride goes well this weekend, I’ll post pics of my baby next week.

in the meantime, keep the rubber on the road.

My brother passed in late 2020 and he left me a Harley w/ 3k on the odometer and a nice '08 GW trike.

My brother and i took the last ride he was able to do on those 2 bikes and I will forever have that memory with him.

I was looking for service, tips and general knowledge of the trike, and thus im here.

My first car was a '79 MGB and being a part of an MGB club was a god send. Good salt of the earth folks will always want to share, fellowship and embrace others who will pass along things that were freely shared with them. I hope to be one.

Because the axle nut on my 883 DNA conversion lost it's crenellations and I'm trying to find the right dimensions to get a replacement. I'll use the search function before shouting out for help because Google doesn't seem to know.

Been riding 2 wheels for years. Recently destroyed one knee and hurt the other. The choice was for me either 3 wheel or quit riding. I joined to learn more. I have had my Road King triked. So far hate almost everyting about it (turning, banked roads mostly). My wife wants me to keep riding with her, so I am practicing. Is there ever a time I will get used to it? Enjoyed what you have to say on this forum. She rides a trike and always has. She is a great wife and I want to keep riding with her, but can not envision a day when I will be comfortable with this.

Welcome to TT from Ohio,, You may get more help in the "NEW MEMBERS" forum. I went to a TriGlide in 16. Didn't take long after a few upgrades. We put 38K on that trike in 3 summers. Bought a new 20 last Mar. Have done the same upgrades to it. We love it & will soon depart on a 5600 mile ride. Then back home for about 3-4 weeks & do another long ride. was on 2 since 13yrs old. Now 76 & wanted to keep riding. You will get used to it, some just take longer than other. I was good at 100 miles, some at a few thousand. Hang in there. Ride safe.

Believe me....The first time some knuckle head makes a left turn dead in front of you and you haven't any avenue of escape ...And you hit the brakes hard and miss the knuckle head without all the trauma that gos with being on a two wheeler and maybe locking the rear wheel and then low sliding into him you'll get it...

I have a HD 91 Custom Hard Tail and want a Trike. It is almost impossible to find any good information about the various Conversion Models... I am hoping this is the place!

My name is Rich and I have a 2011 Harley Davison Tri Glide ultra. I bought it used July of last year. I have always rode 2 wheeled metric bikes but needed to move to a trike. I was happy to be riding again but not happy with the ride, comfort and heat from the engine. I found all the solutions here and purchased 2K worth of parts from Venders here to make it the way it should have came from the factory. I don't have it 100% yet but very close.
