Paul Yaffe Triglide

[FLTR2008TRIKE]

Here are 2 pics I borrowed from Paul Yaffe's Facebook page to show the new Triglide his shop is customizing. He's really slammed it and raked it. The fenders are custom made for wide rear wheels.

Paul posted some pics on our Trike Talk Facebook page a while back before the body went on...thats one sweet looking trike.

Lookin' kinda like the custom work with similar flares that Rick Fairless is doing in Dallas - he's calling it "Dolly" for obvious reasons.

It's not my cup of tea.

Who is Paul Yaffe? They runied a nice TriGlide. I like the ones built from scratch. Harley had one on the back of there 2010 brochure. Was a concept trike that is one nice looking Trike.

Paul Yaffe is one of the top builders of custom two-wheel bikes in the country. In addition to building bikes he sells custom motorcycle parts.

That all may be true but I believe he missed the mark on this one.

I like it because its different and shows a lot of imagination. Trikes are beginning to go through what cars have gone through for years, radical customization. Some of the customs may not be what we'd personally want to own and drive every day, but its good to see fresh new trike designs coming out of the top custom motorcycle shops like Paul Yaffee's.

Right on, Zook. It's nice to see different ideas. However, this trike would be strictly for show. Unless he has air suspention that raises it up to where it has some ground clearance, GOOD LUCK on speed bumps! Then too, I dislike those ultra low profile tires that are so thin in the sidewall, if you hit a pebble, you've got an instant bent rim. For the show room, yes, but for the road, it needs some ground clearance & taller sidewalls. Would I want one? Ummmm, if it was FREE, sure. He's probably got a nasty engine in it I could transplant onto mine!

I've watched Yaffee's builds for years and they are functional machines. This trike does have air suspension and if he builds it, its definately for go and not just show. I'm going to see if he'll come over here and post some pics and details about this trike.

i think its bad ass. would love to have one. im just not a fan of fairings or windshields but this is what its all about to each his or her own. as long as your scoot is what u like thats all that matters i mean honestly who really gives a s#@t what people think about your ride. i know i dont. why own a trike to please others. riding is all about freedom and how boring would any motorcycle rally be if all the bikes and trikes looked the same. boring as hell. i think its cool that the custom bike builders are giving trikes there due. how about the trike paul jr made on american chopper last week. it was insane. keep putting your own style into your trikes no matter what others think a trike should look like.

I guess I'm a true trike freak 'cause I've always been intrigued with any and all kinds of three wheelers. Thats why I started this forum and have always welcomed ALL things three-wheeled....I do have my own personal preferences of what Id like to own and drive, but I totally enjoy seeing all of 'em, and particularly the weird and wild customs and home-builts.

They're never going to ride as good or be as functional and reliable as the factory built trikes and conversions, but I'm glad that guys like Yaffee, Paul Jr, D&D Cobra and our own band of merry-makers here are building 'em. ThumbUp
