Seeking Advice on Harley Trike Conversion Kits

I’ve been thinking about converting my Harley into a trike for a while now and could really use some help navigating the options available. I want to make sure I choose a kit that is not only high-quality but also compatible with my specific model.

Why Go Trike?

From what I’ve gathered, switching to a trike can significantly enhance stability, comfort, and overall riding experience—especially on longer trips. I’ve heard a lot about the extra security a three-wheeler offers, making it less daunting on the open road.

What to Consider?

Here are some key factors I’m considering while looking for the best trike conversion:

  • Compatibility: Will the kit work well with my Harley model?
  • Quality: Are there brands known for their durability and performance?
  • Installation: How complicated is the installation process? Will I need a professional or can I tackle it myself?
  • Price: What’s the average cost range, and which kits offer the best value for the money?
  • Reviews: What do current users say about their experiences with different kits?

Personal Preferences

I’m leaning towards a conversion that maintains a sporty look rather than a bulkier appearance, something that still feels like the Harley experience I already love.

There’s also the EZ Steer kit which offers better handling for Softails. It’s a bit pricey, but worth every penny if you’re serious about performance.

Installation is pretty straightforward if you’re handy. However, for peace of mind, I’d let a pro handle it! Better safe than sorry.

I’ve looked into the Motor Trike options as well. They have some great features, especially the independent rear suspension.

Do you think Motor Trike is comparable to Champion or Roadsmith?

They both have pros and cons. Motor Trike has a unique style and decent performance, but I still prefer Champion for my needs.
