Sporster 1200 trike conversion

[blksheep54]

I recently converted my Sportster 1200 Roadster to a Frankenstein Trike.
Can anyone recommend a cover that will fit properly?
Also, I have noticed a speedometer ratio issue due to the difference between the original 16" wheel and the new 15" wheel that came with the kit. Anyone else noticed this?

I use a large cover from a 2 wheeler. I have checked my speedo against my GPS,it is 2mph off. Don't know what it was before triking it. 2008 1200L. As far as I know the speedometer does not calculate from the rear wheel.

Thanks retread83. I was thinking about trying my previous 2 wheel cover to see if I could make it fit. As far as the speedometer issue, I haven't measured it exactly. I was riding it the other day with a friend in a car behind me. He said we were going about 5 mph faster than my speedometer read. I sure felt like I was going faster. I will measure it and post the results.

A cover for a bagger will fit a Sportster trike.

In my case, the speedometer is almost identical post conversion to what it was before. It is a speed sensor that provides a signal to the speedometer. There are some companies out there that make a calibration module... Dakota Digital, S&S I think both do. They plug in the harness and you can then adjust to dial it in.

My two wheeler cover doesn't fit. Using it right now with additional plastic bags and such, as I'm expecting a tropical storm and need to roll in my awning. For now I'm just gonna figure out the difference of the speedo and deal with it. Thanks

Thanks.

I got a cover ordered from amazon that claims it will fit a lehman like conversion.
