What’s the Best Harley Trike Conversion Kit Out There?

I’ve heard mixed reviews about that one. What do you think are its main pros and cons?

For me, the biggest pro is its durability. However, I did have to adjust the suspension after installation because it felt a bit bouncy at first.

I have the Motor Trike conversion on my Heritage Softail. It’s like a dream! Performance-wise, it handles really well, though I did have to add a steering stabilizer.

Sounds interesting! Do you feel it has affected your cornering ability much?

Honestly, yes! It’s not as nimble as a bike, but it has a nice glide on straight roads. Just don’t expect it to handle like a two-wheeled bike.

I’m still on the fence about converting my bike. Are there specific trikes that are easier to handle for beginners?

Great question, Stephanie! I found the kits by Custom Cycles to be beginner-friendly. They have good balance and stability right out of the box.

I’m thinking of getting the Roadsmith kit. I’ve heard people rave about it. Any thoughts?

Roadsmith is a solid choice! I almost went with them. They offer great storage and comfort, but the installation can be tricky if you’re not mechanical.

Definitely consider what you want in a trike! Storage space was my priority, which is why I’m happy with the kit I chose.

Agreed! I sometimes wish I had more for longer trips.

I went with the Frankenstein kit for something different. It’s quirky, but I love the unique look. Just be prepared to answer a lot of questions, haha!

Sounds fun! You might have started a trend with that choice, Michael!

Every kit has its quirks, but I think the joy of riding a trike is unparalleled. Just make sure it fits your riding style!

Take your time deciding! Each setup is unique and reflects your personality. Good luck with your conversion journey!
