Planning on a trike here in Florida
Hello,
I'm new here, currently ride a 2014 Heritage Softail. I've been riding for 35 years, but time is taking it's toll on my knees and I see a trike in my near future! I'm debating between a New Freewheeler or converting my Heritage with a Frankenstein kit, I hope this forum will help me with my decision.
welcome aboard Steve. Both choices are good ones. If you want to look at a new freewheeler see Tony at Treasure Cost HD West Palm Beach. Tell him Ted from Key Largo recommend you to talk to him. He will give you a deal that will not be beat.

Welcome to Trike Talk from Texas. I think you need a new Freewheeler. I thought about having my Road King converted but decided to get a new 2015 Freewheeler. It's my 5th Harley, first trike and I have truly been happy about my decision.

Steve, Welcome to Trike Talk Forum.
Even though I have converted many Softails over the years, the FLH platform offers the rider and PASSENGER more comfort.
The Frankenstein kit will save you money if there is limited funds to INVEST but you won't be as satisfied.
If you were talking about an FLH-FLT instead of a Softail, then I would definitely consider a FULL-BODIED trike conversion instead. JMTCW

Thanks for the welcome and the info, tough to decide. I really like the Freewheeler, seems like a great place to start the 3 wheel adventure. I've ridden a Tri-glide with the new M-8 motor, very impressed with the performance. I can only guess a Freewheeler with the M-8 would be a real hot rod, maybe I should rent one for a weekend so the bride and I can really get a feel for it.
