Ever remove a Lehman trike kit

[sunfighter]

I have a bad motor on the wife's trike. (03 Volusia Intruder) and I'm thinking of buying a newer fuel injected model C-50 and swapping over the trike kit. Just wondering if anyone here had ever taken on a project like this, and if so, what, if any obstacles did you encounter.

Thanks Al.

Not a Lehman or C-50, do know a fella did it with his well kept GL-1200 and a high miles "sat out in the weather" GL-1200 Motor Trike he got cheap.

we have a resident Lehman trike guru here on TrikeTalk. He swings by every few days to check out these threads. His screen name is Lee H. Mann (Jim) He also has a company website that is:

Al,

The trike kit is easily swapped and everything will fit from the VL800 onto the C-50.

Be aware that the spacers, brackets and braces added by Lehman must be re-used to protect the frame integrity.

The driveshaft must be phased (aligned) when re-installed.

Make sure that you grease the suspension linkage.

Good Luck

Say Jim, would that include a 2018-19 C-50?

They didn't make a C-50 in 2018 or 2019.

And, I cannot tell you B/C Lehman never made a kit for those models.

The last year for the C-50 was 2012, after that it was a VL800.
