New Trike!

[Dwight]

Bit the bullet today and committed to a new 11 Road Glide. Will be ordering a new Champion Trike (Independent Suspension) kit, hopefully next week. Looks like I will be able to use the front and rear pulleys, plus the belt, from the TriGlide. This will give me the same gearing as the 11 TriGlides plus the 1 1/8" drive belt. I do have one question, how does the Chanpion kit deal with ABS? Any of you that already have the HD/Champion Independent rear kit please chime in with your likes and dislikes. A week ago Champion had a March 1st delivery, hope it hasn't changed much!

Congrats, my delivery ended up a week early from Champion. They mostly build to order. Ca't help you on the ABS. Mine had the 07 police ABS had to remove.

We sure enjoy our Champion kit on our VTX-----have a couple issues , spider webbing in the glass on the bottom of one rear fender and brakes squealing after sitting overnite for the first mile or so.
Have e mailed Champion a few times but have never received any response from them

bdn56,
It's Rio Red with black accents. Really dark red, haven't seen it outside in the sun yet but should be pretty sharp.

Dwight....you will lose the ABS capability because the wheel speed sensors won't work with the kit. No problem. The bike will stop just fine with the Volkswagen disc brakes used by Champion. My biggest problem was getting rid of the "take-offs" left over from the two wheeler. Finally pretty much traded it all off for a song!!
