Any concerns with a 1995 Electra Glide Frankenstein conversion?
Hello everyone,
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the forum. I am thinking about purchasing a 1995 Electra Glide (FLHTP Police Bike) with 34k miles, for $4,000. The bike is carbureted, but I’m not too concerned with that.
I see that the Frankenstein conversion (premium package) is about $8000, so I’d have about $12,000 in it when done.
I saw someone here on the forum mention in an older post that the “gearing on older Harley’s is not ideal for a trike conversion”. Is this a serious issue? I don’t expect to be running on the freeways at 75+ mph, if that is the problem.
I’m pretty sure that the absence of a reverse gear will be a minor annoyance, so that shouldn’t bother me too much.
Any input, thoughts, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated before I pull the trigger. The only part of the premium kit that concerns me is the exhaust, not knowing what it sounds like. Thanks again!
