    I was looking for labor also. No way I can do the swap.

    I just wanted to compare the price difference between the two.

    I Had the dealer install it.....[Motor-Trike reverse]...That was on my 2011...The reverse i could have done my self .....But i didn't want to do the lock-out wiring harness myself....

    My dealer has done quite a few over the years, So i let them do it....Maybe it took them 2 hours with an oil change??... About 17 hundred dollars total.......

    Bob, That is what they told you ! FAKE NEWS !!!

    I went on a spy mission at the Lehman Factory in August of 2008. It really wasn't a spy mission when it started but ended with a lot of info on the TriGlides. I was also told that the dealers would announce the reverse as an option but all of the 2009 & 2010 TriGlides had reverse gears when they left the Factory.

    Every rear axle assembly they had on the floor, out of the box, had the reverse gear on it and they weren't removing them during assembly.

    I do believe that the 2011 TriGlides being built by Harley exclusively may have held those reverse gears as an option either factory or dealer. The reverse gear harness was exclusive to the TriGlides and all of them had them originally.

    Just having a trailer hitch will void the Harley warranty not just a reverse Motor but engine and transmission warrantees also…

    Steven the instructions are pretty good. The Motor Trike and Champion both are very similar. At one time AIM also sold a similar one. Basically you remove the trans cover on the right side. Drill tap and attach gears onto the ends of the two shafts. Install the shift gear plate and put it all back together. Anyone with some mechanical skills can handle the job.

    I've done 2 and they worked out fine. The hardest part is drilling one of the shafts but if you take your time and follow the directions it's not a big deal. You will glad you did.

    The only consideration is if you have an after market exhaust you might have to make it conform to the mod. The added shift plate puts the trans cover out about 1/2 inch more.

    Again a moderate skill install. Good luck
