Couple Pictures from My Prowler RT Conversion

[Slvrvalk1]

I received a couple pictures of my Goldwing being converted to a Prowler RT. The mechanic is checking the bike out before mounting the body panels. I will pick it up next week when the weather clears enough for me to get to the shop which is 300 miles from home. No closer shops to home were set up to do the conversion.

That is going to be a very pretty machine. I have always wondered what the machinery under the front panels looked like.

I LIKE that blue. It will make for a very impressive looking RT when done.

Nice and I know you're excited to be able to put some miles on that beautiful machine.

Got a picture with the body work mounted. The grill is on back order.

I like this, I have a rear wheel trike. Anyone others with this style, how do they handle? I would guess they would be smoother and a very nice ride. Same color as mine. Maybe that's why I really like it.. <grin>

J Redman -

Motor Trike, Hannigan, and Endeavor are the three main manufacturers of reverse trikes. There is another company called Sturgis that also has a model.

Bet you can't wait to pick it up.

It won't take you long to get used to the steering. At speeds under 5 MPH it will be a bit heavy but easily managed. Above 5 MPH it becomes progressively much lighter and quick. Early on you will over steer a bit but become accustomed to it very quickly.

You'll find the handling and stability better than when on two wheels.

Have fun ! ! !

Handling is great. I am able to take turns at a higher speed with greater stability and control then when on two wheels and I've done my fair share of floorboard scraping on two wheels. A conventional two in the rear trike can turn a little bit tighter than I am able but not by much.

Motor Trike has posted some photos of your bike on their Facebook Page.

Thanks for the heads up. I am a little surprised that they would post them given that the grill is missing.

Just a heads up - cleaning bugs out from behind the grill is a pain.

It took a bit of time until my front bumper came in. I'm sure they are catching up so you shouldn't have to long a wait for yours.

Update question on how you like your trike

I know this an old thread (8 months or so), but as I am new to the forum, I was wondering if you could update us on how your like your reverse trike?

I am currently a non-trike rider but I have started investigating reverse trikes and have seen lots of threads talking about the cosmetics (lots of opinions there), but very few that tell me what the owners think of the trike and its handling.

Maybe I am just not searching well enough, but I am learning a lot about all kinds of conversions.

Reverse Trike Conversion ( Prowler RT )

I love my Prowler RT on my 2004 Honda GL1800. Only problem is that you can't make tight U-turns. Wide turning radius.

Here is a pic of my 2004 Honda gl1800 with the Prowler RT conversion.
