While looking around and debating about converting my Road King to a trike, I found a 2007 sportster with a Frankenstein kit. I showed it to my wife and she decided she needed a trike of her own. It is an 883 with 4000 miles on it. I changed all the fluids, relocated the speedometer, added the windshield, driving lights, and mirrors.

Two weeks later she got her license and six weeks later, she got to give her 90 year old aunt a ride around the block. Here they are ready to go on Sunday afternoon.

Good job George. My wife got her trike in March of 2008 105k miles later she is still thrilled to be able to ride by herself. We will ride together in town getting around but no 2 up riding when we are going on our trips. Enjoy the company.

Marvelous, Looks great!! Congrats you guys. My 84 year old mom wants to ride our Trike but is just too feeble to climb up.

Sorry to hear your mom can't make the climb.

We are fortunate that my wife's aunt is able to do the things she does. She walks everyday and goes to the gym. She worries my mother-in-law, because she tries to do everything.
