CVO CSC Trike Conversion
Papa Zook is not only "The Man" for conversions but also a truly good person.
Very nice looking trike Dale! And yes, Randy is "the man" when it comes to trikes and keeping this forum going!

Really nice-looking trike.
I am anxiously awaiting the completion of mine. Have been reading a few other things here - did you change the front tire to the Avon trike tire?
Also noticed you have a CVO - when was this kit installed? I just saw something from CSC that says they no longer match Harley CVO paint.
Just before I had the bike triked I had a Fueling oil pump installed. (no problem, just peace of mind) I also wanted the Avon installed but he could not find one. Went with Metzeler.
I just picked the completed trike up last month. PaPa Zook, the keeper of this forum, did the conversion and he used a third party painter.
I don't like how you tied the bike down. I wouldn't put that kind of pressure on the forks. I'd secure to the frame.
Nice looking trike!
Just reading some of the posts here and drooling over the great pics in anticipation of getting my 2016 Chief Vintage triked. Unfortunately my CSC kit won't deliver until Jul, 22. Sounds as though I made a good decision to go with the CSC Arrow conversion by what I am reading on this forum. I am snowbirding down in Casa Grande, Az and won't make it back to Idaho till Apr but we will be alot closer to Jul by then. 72 years old and I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to get here. I have never been on a trike before......is there much of a learning curve going from 2 to 3 wheels? Been riding 2 wheels for a long time and I'm looking forward to a smooth and stable ride for the wife and I.Originally Posted by Vintage68

You have a beautiful Indian to work with. Trikes you need to remember not to put your feet down. Other than that you use your upper body strength to steer it, like a jet ski or a snowmobile. Best of luck with your conversion

Thanx for responding......Hi Gerald,

Never occurred to me about not putting your feet down......if that's what I need to figure out then the conversion should be pretty easy......I am used to riding a jet ski....piece of cake
Welcome to Trike Talk Gerald! You will love your CSC trike! Gotta remember you will have a fat butt when you pull in for gas too.

Welcome to the forums Gerald, lots of info in this thread about going to 3 from 2 wheels

Have noticed through all my years many first time dually pickup owners have a smashed rear fender from forgetting their rear outside tires and fender stick out farther than the side of their pickups.
We have owned many duallies being on a farm/ranch and it can happen, luckily never to me.
Same goes with a trike as stated above!

Gerald - you and me both. I am just like you - waiting and excited about my new CSC conversion.
I believe I am a bit closer - my build is scheduled for March 11th - so about 12 or so days away. Still with covid and part delays, anything could happen. Mu trike installer tell me that he will be contacting VSC probably the middle of next week in attempts to see when the conversion is being shipped.
Once we know that and the potential arrival date, he says that it is simply a matter of about 4-5 days to have everything put together. In my mind, I am shooting for the end of March. Anything before then will be considered gravy. Besides, living in Michigan, chances are we can't take it out until mid-April.
I'll post so pictures when mine is done -please do the same and, all the best

Looks nice - really like that spoiler.
They are picking my bike up on Thursday (March 24th) - so, they can start to disassemble it. Sounds like the trike kit has been painted and will be on the way soon.
NICE!
Very nice trike!

CSC kit
It looks like CSC is a little behind schedule. My kit was scheduled for 2 months and 2 days after yours, 05/13/22. Please keep us updated.
Yea, I am sure all the snowstorms pushing through that neck of the woods has slowed things down, not to mention parts that CSC might not manufacture at their facility. When I had my kit ordered it was three months out before I could drive up for the installation. Hang in there the wait is worth the wait.
No problem, I will indeed keep you posted.
I placed my order and made the deposit on November 1, 2021. When I did, was told it would be done by the end of March 2022.
Actually called CSC and they told me the anticipated paint date. Don't think that happened because the installer told me when the got the paint in on 3/18. So, it looks like it has to be painted, put back together, crated and then shipped.
Only advantage is - still pretty cold here in Michigan - so I don't have the urge to take a ride right now.
What bike are you triking? And, did you add a lot of items?
