Strange. It's just a minor annoyance and seems like I haven't had it happen for a little bit now. I usually use my Android phone and either Brave browser or the Trike Talk app. I honestly can't remember if it has happened to both or just one or the other. I will bring it back up if it happens again.
I have a 2012 with the Champion kit and am thinking about adding the Accent Panels / Running boards on it and would like to know if anyone here could post the installation instructions and or photos. I have looked for instructions for a couple of weeks but have not had any luck. I believe they attach on the existing main stand mounting tabs, but I am not sure about the front and rear mounting if there is any. I want to see what kind of job I will be getting into. Thank you
Mary and I have started discussing our riding plans for 2025.
Fortunately I can do much of my work from the road, so that gives us some flexibility in longer trips.
These are the things we want to do this year:
1. Ride around more of British Columbia, including Banff and the Icefield Parkway again.
2. Ride some of the great mountain roads in Washington State (we are open to suggestions)
3. Visit family in Northern California.
4. Trike Gathering in Arizona in the fall
5. Explore some of the Appalachian mountain roads in Virginia and North Carolina
Plans are in the very early stages, and may change up...but we have made a start. This promises to be a great year of riding and seeing some amazing sights.

I drove around town trying to find every thing, found almost everything. A few thing I had to order so I am waiting on them to continue
I did not order the spacer I lost yet. the cheapest I can find it online is about $25 so I want to try to find the one I lost first
Oh no!
I am sorry to hear that. Sounds like the front or rear (or both) suspension was not set right.
I wish we could have gotten it adjusted for you while you still had it.
Sounds like it would be good for you to ride a few different trikes that have IRS and see how you like it.

Ended up buying my 2022 Mineral Green Denim Enthusiast Edition in Mar 2024 w/800 miles on it...at least $4K less than the only 3 that were on Cycle Trader at the time. Bought it in Daytona at the Indian dealer that took it in the day before on trade. The day before the official start of Bike Week, my buddies saw it there and knew I was casually looking and told me about it at 5PM. I was there when they opened the next morning, put a $7500 credit card deposit down,(yes, they took a CC deposit, so I got a few CC Rewards points!), w/ free delivery 180 miles away, free lifetime battery replacement, and installed In Touch GPS tracking system (financed it for 4 years with it stipulated no penalty for early payoff in the contract), paid it off in 2 weeks. The stars and the moon aligned!

I hadn’t noticed this thread before, but I knew a guy who was a left arm and leg amputee. He rode one of the V2V legs with us across the US on a Victory Motorcycle Club Rally.
He got his controls from this company:

Another picture I had seen for a jury rigged Harley right hand control was this. Obviously it could be dressed up a bit. Looked like they sawed off the end of an old set of handlebars and put a bolt through it to a strap connected to the bolt on the other switch pod control. Not very pretty but guess it works.
I put 60K miles on my converted trike, and it was my Cadillac. Then I bought a new 2017 Spyder F3-Limited, and it became my Corvette. I now have 60K miles on my Spyder, with no regrets and nothing but smiles. Oil changes are around $150 and happen every 10K miles. My experience is that the key to a Spyder is doing the service as prescribed, and keeping the battery at full charge! I have mine on a battery maintainer when it is sitting in my garage, so I have never had any problems on rides or long trips. That's my Spyder experience.
Here is a video showing bump recorder results of with and without the Convertible Comfort Mount/Lift. Specifically starting at the 2:10 mark.
You will see that it not only rounds off the sharp jolts, but that it also reduces seat movement by 36%.
Most people notice that improvement, some do not.
We have never seen a shock body hit the trunk with the Convertible Comfort Mount/Lift installed.

Great info for the guys looking and wanting a Black TG rear bumper!
Recently, my local HD parts guy (also close friend) that asked for help to sell one that he got black powder coated for a customer… then they ghosted them! Below is the link I posted and was sold pretty quick.
(I’m surprised that HD only sells these in chrome and not have black as another option).
