Triumph Rocket trike

[F6bbagger]

Good morning, picked up this Rocket trike last year, At 70 I felt that I would end up on a trike, the '13 Honda F6b is a bit heavy and sometimes I get into shituations that I am unsure of my balance or strength, so I thought I would pick one up to check it out.2015 Triumph, converted in 2018 as an unsold bike, by dealer, Motor Bike Kit, had 7,500 miles on it. Took it on a 2,400 mile road trip 2 weeks after picking it up, like it, it is more of a naked trike w/not many creature comforts, a Goldwing trike is what I would like. Has plenty of powerand after the Yellowstone thing I needed new tires so I put 22" rims and tires on the back, now I need a taller front tire but it is turning into quite the task, an 18" carbon fiber and they are pricey.

A buddy recently picked up a Rocket Three , I have already asked if I could buy it and make it into a trike when he tires of it.

I have ridden several of them in the past and they are a wonderful machine before becoming a trike , so the transition must be even better.

….. I almost bought a rocket Trike(Triumph).. A few years ago from a Triumph dealer in Yonkers New York where they would convert the bike and the whole thing would be 100% Guaranteed and authorize by Triumph But When talking to the dealer they were a little too loopy about details for me to take the leap…..
