New member thinking of trke kit on a 93 Harley FLHS

[dsctr]

Hello,

I have a 93 Harley FLHS and thinking of a trike conversion.

The bike is getting difficult to move around and have to much money in it to sell it. In the last 2 year I did the motor top end, new stater, rectifier etc, rebuilt the transmission (counter shaft bearing came apart), put on a new rear belt and pulleys, Progressive 944 (with extra set of longer stock springs) rear shocks and front fork mono springs installed. It's basically an old new bike now.

Was thinking of a Champion kit with straight axle, they are the only ones I found for this old of bike. Plus the kit is suppose to come with all needed parts including wheels and tires.

Will also be needing a reverse, not sure what one is best.

Was also suggested that a EZ stear kit (triple trees) be put on, but may not be necessary.

I am trying to do this build as cost effective as possible, but still have a good reliable trike for touring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dale, Welcome to Trike talk Forum.

A Champion straight axle kit would be a sturdy conversion.

I don't know that a Reverse Gear would be as important to me as an E-Z Steer.

An E-Z Steer 5 degree will make it enjoyable to ride, without the E-Z Steer it would be a brute on anything other than the Interstate.

Reverse, on the other hand is only used .009% of the time and if you can touch the ground while seated, you really don't need it.

You don't have it now on your two wheeler, do you ?

I appreciate the welcome from all you

All I have to do now is figure out where to get the best deal on the kit and needed parts.

Plan to start in a few weeks

Should I start a new thread on the HD trike to update any progress?

Lee H Mann,

I appreciate the advise, will probably be going with a Champion straight axle.

Always thought a trike would be to difficult to move around with out a reverse, but since it can't fall over with out it, I should be able to move it around

I will save the money from the reverse and get an EZ steer.

Thanks

Welcome Dale

Your FLHS will make a Great Trike

I'm hoping it will, it's an old bike, but I like the old EVO motor, Easy to work on and don't want to have to sell it because it's getting hard to move around.

Thanks
