    Default Info on Frankenstein kits please.

    I am thinking of triking out an older Electra glide. Anyone on this forum riding 2up on a Frankenstein kit? Wondering on handling with 2 riders. I have a goldwing with voyager kit that rides really well 1up but when the wife gets on it is quite tippy and I don’t care for the feeling in corners. Have tried various different settings with suspension, tire psi and pre-load of kit. Think it’s time for a solid axle. Just unsure how this kit would ride loaded. Thanks

    As long as you check the gearing a common problem on conversion trikes the heavier trike needs 30-70. There are many two wheelers are 32-66. I have no first hand knowledge other than give the company a call. Many have said they are very helpful with concerns. Good luck on your search. Fred

    according to the info provided me from the company Frankenstein kits add no additional weight over the stock two wheel bike.

    Frankenstein did offer two different track widths. My advice would be to get the wider track for cornering stability. You can also use a wheel with less backspacing to extend the track width. Anything over 54" is good. MotorTrike and Lehman all used 54" width. I would also suggest a triple tree of 5-6 degrees.

    If I had a dollar for the times been asked if my 08 Sportster is "tippy". 2 up is no problem, 30 k miles. There are different width kits depending on the bike. I weighed everything removed,82 lbs. Your's will be different. Check their site, all info is on there. You can call them, great customer service.

    Just saying when you add up everything removed that's what it weighs. Fender stays on. Stock exhaust is heavy compared to Short Shots. PS I put the stock exhaust back on.

    so u removed one tire, the swingarm, a caliper and disc and added 2 tires 2 fenders 2 calipers 2 discs a diff and lost weigh???? i think you might need to check the scale!!

    i know exhaust is heavy.. but even if you changed it that is NOT part of the equation!

    I didn't say 82 lbs less. 82 lbs is what the removed parts weighed. Reread my post.
