Welcome to TT and the 3 world from SW MO. True words there :Agree:. You pretty much can't go wrong with the major kit makers. The styling that appeals to you, options you want, IRS or solid axle and what kit will fit your bike are the big factors. Most important, check out the installer - the finest trike kit can be turned into junk by a bad installation. I know a few folks that have gone with their 2nd choice because the installer of choice 1 was too far away or the local one was iffy with the installation or service after the build. Riding as many different brands as you can will also help in you decision.

Welcome to TT from your fellow Texas members!!! I sure know what you are talking about. It's so easy to get into our toys so deep we can't afford to let go... Sorry I can't help with suggestions. There are some beautiful HD conversions on this board so I bet you'll get lots of help!! :xszpv::xszpv:

There is a gob of experience here and our members are always willing to share. We hope you also pass on your stories and knowledge. TrikeTalk is by far the best trike focused bulletin board and you’ll find the members and admin folks the friendliest there are.

When you get settled in, check out Trike Owners International, T.O.I., you may find it a good fit.

Willie, I dealt with the problem of custom paint when converting to a trike, but mine was just a custom "color mix" to get the color right and then pin striping. When you convert, you can get the kit unpainted and then have you personal painter do the paint on the kit if you have a lot of graphics. The indi suspension is really nice (what I have) and there are a lot of really good kits out there. I would suggest that you have the conversion done by a person well experienced in doing trikes professionally. You don't want problems later when you are on the road. Good luck and post pictures when you get-r-done! Ride safe.

For some that is true however I would say after riding both the IRS is NOT that much better and the solid axles handles better and cheaper to maintain. JMHO:Trike1:
