Hello all. I run a trike conversion business in the UK which has been around over 20 years. over that time we have sent a few of our kits to the USA but as a percentage of how many inquires we get from the US it is small and I wondered if it is because of the prices and cost of shipping import etc or because the kits themselves (unless they are jigged to fit a specific bike like the Valkyrie) require some welding work to fit the tubes to the differential / suspension cage and that is seen as a problem.
This is not a sales pitch I really am trying to understand the needs of the DIY trike building folks in the USA better as we fit conversions to many different bikes from Kawasaki ZZRs, Triumph Rockets and Yamaha Virago's to name but 3. I hava seen may fly-on-the wall type programmes on customisation of bikes and cars based in the US, so I know you have a culture of customisation fabrication etc which has sort of led me to think its's all about the price which is clearly important?
I would appreciate any constructive advice about this. All our kits are independent rear suspension and are shaft, belt or chain drive.
Moderators if you do not allow this post please let me know how I can ask the questions I have without breaking rules? Cheers. Steve
