Bike left today to trike

[Doctoss]

They just picked up my 2012 red GW to take it to Tony's Trikes to transform it into a pearl yellow CSC Viper. Now the wait begins.

 

[Bikerbozo]

Congrats Doc. Good luck with it.

 

[Bill Reber]

You going to enjoy it and "yellow" unless they are blind people will see you

 

[87Trike1200]

You're gonna luv it - great color too...

 

[Southpaw]

Congratulations!! I got about 3 weeks of riding on my converted Road King late last fall before having to put it away for winter. Can't wait till spring. I hope the time goes by fast for you so you can get aquainted with your new trike!!!

 

[Gorilla]

congrats the waiting will be tough

 

[Rick Kay]

Congratulations!

Did the shop give you any indication on how long they will take to do the conversion?

Can't wait to see some photos!

 

[cirbtap]

The rough part now is waiting. Then when you get it, you are going to say

"WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO DO THIS ??"

Good luck and ride safe

I talked to Tony I believe on Tue and he had 3 Viper kits already coming from the factory and two were unclaimed. I reserved one same day, bike left on Thur, and I just got back from his place today (Friday) to put down my deposit and talk details. They should start working on it next week and hopefully it will be in my garage in 2-3 weeks. Pretty quick.

 

[Rick Kay]

That's a pretty good turn around time. For me, the wait for the kit to arrive from CSC was almost as long as it took the dealer to do the conversion.

 

[OldBay]

Doc, that sounds great. I bought my Trike from Tony. THey are wonderful folks to deal with and we have had some great rides with no problems. I bet you'll get it back quicker than ya think. They are GOOD.

 

[Doctoss]

Progressing from red to yellow and 2 wheels to three.

That would be an amazing turnaround time. Hope he can make it happen for you!poof

Looks like getting close.

[Rick Kay]

You'll be riding before you know it!

 

[icedad]

I'd say real close, since the plate is already on.

 

[Doctoss]

Ready to pick up. Hopefully I can make it down there within the next couple of days.

 

[OldBay]

Drop everything and go, man. Ya won't be able to stand it till ya do, hehehehe.

Well did you pickup your Trike yet? Did you drive:Trike1: it home or did you trailer it:Shrug:? I drove mine home from the dealer and have not been able to stay of of it yetpepper. I think I have put on just over 500 miles sense I picked her up. Rides like a dream, you won't want to get off or stop. Wife loves the Trike, she says she feels alot more stable and safe on the trike rather then the bike:10:. Well congrats she does looks Pretty and I'm sure wether you drive her home or trialer her, once you get on her you won't want to get off either. Anticipation is a real
B%@*^...

Picked it up yesterday and drove it over 200 miles back home. Wow it is really nice and smooth. I was some worried about the transition and I think the best description is that it is different, mainly with not countersteering and not putting your feet down. I think it is going to be a keeper. Here is a link to another forum about the trike since as far as I know it is the only yellow viper.

She looks great! I'm especially glad that you took to three wheels so easily. Each mile you roll will feel better and more natural. My biggest adjustment was to the centrifugal force through the turns and watching the gas islands when rolling up to the pump. Congratulations!

 

[Doctoss]

It really helps reading what others experienced when learning. I watch the gas islands carefully, and now I know why they say push and pull to steer.

A REAL BEAUTY, CONGRATS now enjoy

 

[Ken45]

So you had them change the color of the bike? Are there any problems with doing that? I assume there is additional cost?

[saab9k]

Looks very nice.


Change color, nothing $$$$ don't fix.

Just time and money. Tony took off all the plastic and then painted them, no taping them while still on the bike. It added to the price but now I have exactly what I wanted. He did a very good job and I still had the bike back within 3 weeks.

 

[Ken45]

Is there any issue with the new color chipping off? I've seen cars where the color was changed and you see spots where the new has chipped off and the old color shows.

The reason I ask, we've seen some better prices on used trikes with colors that we don't want (LOL). We don't want silver this time.

So far not a problem, but I have only had it a few days now.

New paint is no better than the prep work that was done before painting prep is the most important thing in a paint job. :xszpv: pepper :wave4:
