Jimmy, Contact Jim at Kent Road Motorsports. Here is a link to their site: Learn more about Trikes | Kent Road Motorsports

I know they are in Connecticut, but they are great guys and would do you a wonderful job! They are a business sponsor here on the forum. Be sure to tell them you got their name from us

[jimmy]

thanks but thats really a long way for me to go if i have a problem later and need service.

Jimmy, you could try American Trikes and Motorsports. His trike shop is in Keene, which is a little closer, and Rob (member robandlyn) has high praise for him.

You could also email/PM Rob to see where they bought his wife's trike (or search for his posts - I know he gave the name in one of them) - I know it was a Harley dealership, and I think it was either Nashua or Manchester areas. I know it's still a bit of a haul, but since he has high praise for that dealer it might be worth looking at if you're in the market for a Harley trike.

I bought my Suzuki trike from Ronnie's in North Adams. That's a bit far for you I know, but they may be able to recommend someplace closer.

Good luck, and be sure to let us know how it works out! Maine isn't that far from me, and when I'm ready to upgrade it might give me another option!

I remember Rob mentioning Manchester. Send him a PM. He'd be glad to help with info

I don't think either the Manchester or the Nashua HD dealer (Owend by the same people) do conversions. I traded my 09 ultra for an 11 TriGlide. All being said it was a little cheaper for me to trade than convert. Plus you get a new warrantee, and a bigger engine. A 110 would be better too!

As far as service goes they are good at their word. Call them and ask for Turtle in sales if you're interested.

[Boom]

I made an assumption and thought you were looking for a Harley Tri-Glide.

thanks everyone for all the information. i have decided to waite until 2012 and then trade i think triking out my bike would be a mistake, and next year will have the ability to buy a new one if i want instead of used. but here in maine the ridding season is so short and its rained most of the month of may. i am a contractor and when the sun finally does come out i will have to work to catch up for 3 weeks of rain and probaly won'tget the chance to go do much ridding until june and july. if i get a good deal on a used one in the meantime i'll trade for it. the information here is really great and i appreciate all the help.

Sounds like you are making a careful decision for right now, Jimmy, but stick with us here even if you decide to wait until next spring to get a trike!

[jimmy]

well its been pouring here all week,went to loudon,nh talked to a fellow about a champion conversion 12000 with reverse,went to the harley dealer and he said they would never work on the bike with the conversion, told them 30.000 was way out of my price range so offered them 20,000 and my 04 heritage and they said they thought that could happen. they are going to look at my bike tommorrow. my question is is that a good deal for me? i still have exsise tax and sales tax. and if they try to add paper work charges should i walk?

[Blondie Gal]

Have you looked at any newer model Goldwings, especially with the CSC or Motor Trike conversions?

[jimmy]

honda dealer here has no trikes and does not do the conversions, i looked at 2 hondas and a suzzicy today with champion kits. they wanted 18000 and would only give me 8000 for the soaftail. and they were 2001-2003's neither had radio,reverse or warranty. i don't think thats a good deal.

[jimmy]

well i got the triglide for 20500 and my bike. its home and the dealer was great really different than they were last summer. they picked up my bike and delivered the triglide. i rod it around their lot but its so different from 2 wheels i decided i wanted to practice on a quite road before driving it home in rush hour traffic. i passed on all the extra warranty stuff for now. now if we get some nice weather i can ride it and learn not to lean and put my feet down. old habitts.

[Nana]

That is absolutely awesome, Jimmy! And a great deal too

Congrats you will love it. Give yourself about 400 miles to get comfortable and then really enjoy. You got a real good deal.

thank you all for your help. it was nice to see the dealer seacoast harley in hampton have such a different attitude. maybe the economy or the wheather. i really wanted to do buisness locally. of course they are still saying rain for the next week.
