Trike Kits

[willemrita]

Hi Trikers
I am a novice on this topic. Still on 2 wheels but are shopping and looking around to trike my bike. I am on the Internet surfing through various sites and shops concerning trike kits. You must remember I am not in a country where I can order and have it shipped without a lot of extra expences. But that is nobodys fault. I was mend to live in Namibia.
I noticed quite a number of convertion kits. How does the kits that bolts on and actually makes your bike a four wheeler and not a three wheeler compare with the three wheeler trike in riding and stability and etc.

Please help because I am lost in the jungle of ads and products out there.

Keep the rubber side down.

I've never seen any of the "4Wheel" conversions. I expect you are referring to the Hannigan kit ( Quads – Hannigan Motorsports )

This it the only one I ever heard of but still have never seen it. If you are concerned about stability then I'd suggest you try to find a three wheel trike and test ride it before going to the added cost of a quad.

The best advise I can offer is to do a LOT of research and if possible ride as many conversions as possible. That may be hard for you there but it sure would help make a decision.

Good luck on you search.

I think willemrita is asking about kits like the Voyager. This link should help you with information on those:

They work fine. They are not compareable to a true trike. I owned one for years and yes it worked . After testing a true trike I bought one in 1 hour .

Thanks to all responding. I stumbled on another tread which gave me lots of answers.
My project will be on its way soon. First a round trip through South Africa
in Sept 2013.
Blessed week ahead and look out for the cagers.

John, my 1500 is the same colour. Nice but do not like dust. Unfortunatly I have about 100 yards gravel to my house.
