Gimp trike

[David H.]

I have a 92 goldwing I need to trike. I am a partial paraplegic and would like some suggestions from people who have been there, done that. I can stiff leg around the unit to hang my chair on ? Sissy bar-hanger-some kind of rig set up on a ball/receiver hitch(suggestions please). I would like to mount a shifter bar with clutch handle on the left side if this is feasible with the hydraulic clutch, to save the cost of an electronic shifter. I think I can run front and rear brakes off of the right brake handle(?)and maybe just use the front brake by itself without a back brake. Pictures along with any suggestions and parts locations would be helpful. Also would like opinions on most cost effective trike/training wheel kits. Thanks

Welcome to TrikeTalk, David!
We've actually got several members with adaptations to their trikes to fit their particular physical need. Check out posts and pictures from "Wheels", for example. He's is only logged in here at intervals .......... think he is having too much fun out riding!

Did a twin brake lever adaption on mine last year,Kliktronic K twin levers...Works brilliant stopping the trike and teardrop trailer....Top lever works front brakes bottom works rear,I have since swopped shorter top lever for long lever,braking issues due to arthritus in hands.
What kit you decide on depends on budget available,i went for the self build tri-wing kit as funds were tight and not alot of choice here in the UK.

Hello David,
I would think that a proportioning valve adpted to the front brake master cylinder with re-directed lines might be a safer idea than just running a front brake on a heavy trike.
Here is a web site with the application done to a HD trike and other suggestions that may help you.
Good luck,
Sonny
