Hi to all, just got my first trike a couple of weeks ago, first thing I did was straighten up the wiring (I am a retired electronic tech. after all).

Posting a few photos showing you-all why I was drawn to her in the first place.

Trike kit

Hello, the dealer I got it from said it's a American Trike, I plugged it into the web found www.americantrike.com

I found a kit there with not only the same trike fiberglass style but also the same paint scheme.

It is an independent suspension system with two coil-over shocks on each side.

I emailed the company to get additional info, but so far nothing.

Still so much to learn about her.

Thanks for asking.[FONT=&quot]

Who is the kit mfg.? Good looking rig!
 
Just saying Hi.

Hello, nice looking Golden in the picture,:clapping: I have two dogs a Boston Terrier and a Brussels Griffon both are wonderful medium sized dogs. The Brussels is suppose to be a toy 6~8 pounds but he is a throwback from the breeding and weights in at about 35 pounds.

Take care out on the road,

Very nice, I like......
 
I think the owners name is Jeff or Jack at American.

A few years back they built a trike for a friend of mine using his Yamaha RoadStar and made him an electric reverse too.

I was going to use them to build my 99 Valk. Things just didnt work out in the talking stages. They do some really nice work there.
 
Thanks for reply

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, I emailed them about a week and a half ago.

My trike has the electric reverse as well, works but pretty slow, but it would be nice to know what kind it is and where I could get a replacement if needed.

Thanks for the information,

David
