New guy from Arkansas Medical advice

[cb1313]

I am in Mountain Home Ar, 62 years young and been riding for 45 some years. Mostly Hondas, BMWs all road bike and now have a Yamaha Venture that is for sale.
My question is .... Like most "old guys" I do not want to give up riding due to disabilities. PLEASE.... I am not complaining here just asking for help in which companies trike kit to purchase. Easy to ride, comfort,
I have had 5 right shoulder where I now no longer have a right shoulder, shoulder and collar bones are missing and inch and not connected. the socket is gone and the arm bones have been shorten, I have 4 dislocated in my lower back and in my neck. I have had 2 right knee operations but not replaced.
Comfort and easiest to drive in my main concern. I am a slow poke back roads rider because there are no big expressways and high ways within 100 miles of here BUT would like to do long distance riding someday.

Thank you for any help cb

I may be out of my league with this suggestion but perhaps a stallion trike might work better for you? It has a steering wheel.
I don't profess to know anything about them.

All conventional trikes use a combination push pull for steering with handle bars,and the throttle and clutch would require modifications?

There is a separate forum here for stallion owners. Check It out?

Welcome to Trike Talk, from S/W Ohio.
Don't think I can be assistance to your quest, but I'm sure someone will step up.

Welcome from rainy NW Washington. There is a thread on this site called Enabled Trikers. Some people there probably have similar issues and I think they would be happy to share their solutions. There is also a site in England called National Association of Bikers with Disabilities (Google NABD), there is lot of information on modifications that can be done.ThumbUp

Hello CB and welcome to the website from the U.P. of Michigan. Many trikes used on the market today will have the rake option already, but if you are seeking a new combination whether you want to convert a current bike or trade your bike on one already coverted, specify rake. The degree of rake, I am no expert, but Zook is the man with the plan when it comes to that. It will make a world of difference in steering effort, almost like power steering. Check it out. Ride safe.
