As another newby to Trike Talk, I shall start like this. Our first trike was a 1992 GL1500 that i installed a Motor Trike kit. Took me 3 weeks to do the conversion as I got sick with the flu for a week. Then in March of 2003, my wife made a deal with Motor Trike for a new '03 GL1800 Orange Motor Trike. We rode that one for about 7000 miles and had to sell it in Oct 2011 to pay some medical bills that were not related to the trike. It was a great trike and really didn't want to let it go. Now we are trikeless.
