Looking for the best conversion

[Oslek]

Hello,

I have a 2004 FLHRS. Original owner. Getting to that point in my life where three wheels would be welcomed. Arthritis and bad knees. I almost dropped it the other day. A four way stop with an incline. I guess I didn’t get my feet on the ground quick enough after steering to the right. Pulled some serious muscle getting the bike upright. Still sore.

I’m currently looking at Motor Trike and Frankenstein. Got a business just down the road that installs both brands. Just looking for the right choice as it’s not a cheap investment. I joined this forum to get a “feel” about going the trike route. Also wanted to read about others experiences.

Thanks,

Kelso

Hello and :welcome: to Trike Talk, glad to have U with Us. :clapping:

You'll have storage capacity with the full kit from Motor Trike.

go with a full kit unless all you want to do is bar hop.

I would recommend the Independent Rear Suspension conversion from IMC. They also have a trike body that looks just like the Freewheeler body. I've got over 3K miles on mine and love the smooth ride over the solid axle conversions out there.

welcome Kelso It's going to depend on what you want. One is more sporty looking than the other.

There are many different trike kits..some a lot nicer than others.

If one is not mechanically able to work on your own trike one thing I found important was to be in reasonable distance of a builder who can work on it for you…unless you can and are willing to have to possibly trailer it a good distance to someone who is certified to work on your kit.

Keep us informed as to your decision.

Had Road Smith for 8 years, not a fan. If I had it to do over, I'd give CSC a shot.

Hey Bill,

I went Roadsmith, cause you had one, and I always enjoyed your posts.... So far I very happy with it.... No problems so far (second season riding it) BUT my installer, well that's another story, he'll rip you off in a heart beat.............Cause he know's he can, I believe......
