If you are a triker wanna -be or an old hand, this a comprehensive educational and social site for you!
The adds at the side of the page are sponsors and trike manufactures so it's a one stop shopping center to compare the product of each manufacturer.
They offer different differentials, suspensions, swing arms, bodies, etc.
And you can read the pro's and con's of each one by reading the posts found on this site.
You can type in a question about a product and the site will do a search for you to direct you to your topic and the observations of others.
I had first really noticed trikes with a critical eye when i became disabled.
I checked out the new Harley Tri-Glides but knew i could never afford the asking price.
I had the opertunity to ride a friends Harley trikes enough times to convince myself that i wanted to convert my 1989 Harley Tour Glide ultra into a trike.
I reasoned that if i started with a model that already had all the bells and whistles and that i had owned and loved for 24 years i could have a compfortable and uniqe machine that i could continue to love for many years.
I knew my share about motorcycle mechanics but nothing about trikes.
Member, Lee H Mann educated me to the point that i realized that the first conversion ideas i had were'nt going to give me the machine i wanted and the hidden cost of conversion were'nt worth the end result. Lehman dosen't make a conversion for a bike as old as mine.
He educated me about the champion conversions and refered me to Bazooka the site owner for help.
( Thanks Lee)( Thanks Zook)
I then started to educate myself on this site about the advantages of a raked front end.
The suprise for me was to discover that the owners and administrators of this site could obtain the conversion parts i wanted and save me money in the process acting as a go between. ( Being involved in the trike community, They hear about sales etc. that i wouldn't know about.)
I was hesitant at first to spend so much money with total strangers
(Administrators,sponsors, or not), Not knowing anyone in the trike community, except what i had gleaned of them from posts i had read, But soon came to realize i could trust their guidance and honesty in business dealings.
I knew that i was going to do the conversion myself, and posted a thread for advice for the first time trike builder and have received advice and guidance that have headed off most issues i would have faced and have further told me how they went about the projects they did themselves The real plus is that i get answers on questions and there are some who go out of their way to help me out. ( you know who you are)
I have even made some friends here and have come to care about their welfare as individuals!
I am posting pictures of the uncompleted conversion on photo bucket. At least it will serve to remove any doubts about wether you want to try it yourself?
If you have any doubts about the value of this site, Try what i just talked about on E-Bay old son?
