Well
My original search was for an outfit that fab’d a kit that I could put on my 1977 GL 1000 or my V65 Saber. So far, nada! LOL!
Finally got an answer from Roadsmth and they don’t make one. That’s not a shock and at least they were polite about it!
2001 and up is all they are interested in.
The answer was courteous enough but bare of any detail.
I have a background that allows me to grasp technical detail and fab things up. It MAY be possible to buy a unit and fab it up into a usable conversion on my GL or my V65 Saber.
Rather do the Saber as it is one of the most powerful scoots I’ve even been up on. To lend credence to that, I first bought it in 1984. Took it to ATCO in Jersey and ran a flat 11.1 sec in the 1320. I stand 6’3” and at the time was in at 205lbs. I am NOT a drag bike rider but it sure got my attention.
The handling is not the greatest and if you break out of a turn, you’ll soon be a hood ornament on a Peterbuilt but THAT is a different tale.
For a long distance run, it’s a superb scoot. Low vibration, shaft drive and power to put a V Max (the early ones) rider in the dirt. It’s ALWAYS about skill level. Hardly ever about the machinery your on. IMHO!
Now for a question. I’ve come across an outfit by the name of
Motor Trike, Inc.
P.O. Box 611
22667 FM 15
Troup, TX 75789.
Are they still in business? They’ve got a website but their email is inop. Calling the 800 number get the connection to “International Hold” and the Texas number gets a third party answering service that will not take a message and refers you to call Monday through Thursday. Sounds like a kit car Ponzi Scheme. We shall see?
Any information on these guys would be helpful.
THANKS.
