Born and raised in Alabama, ROLL TIDE moved to TX for the second time in 2009 and this will be our hang up the spurs location.
I'm Jim;
My wife and I love riding 2 up and want to continue. My knees are giving out from catching about 500,000 pitches from my boys and a few jumps from perfectly good airplanes for my Uncle Sam. We thought about selling out 2014 Yamaha V Star 1300 Custom but then thought about all we will miss in doing that.
I need advice on where is the best place with price being a big factor, to get our bike converted to a trike-3 wheeler and I don't want to go the training wheels look. I don't need all the the extra bells and whistles. I saw a Yammie 1300 converted with the original saddle bags left on and only wheels, fenders and a small trunk added. I am not opposed to trading but that seems to get out of my price range. I have owned 3 Yammies and on Big Mamma Harley, loved the HD and sound she made but found out quickly it was too heavy for my knees.
Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated. My bike was a new build in 2018 from a dealer that went belly up and Yamaha redirected his stock to my local dealer, so I got 2014 with 1 mile on it for a great price.
Gentleman and Ladies hit me back with some ideas and suggestions.
God Bless
