Toying with maybe joining the trike world
New member and posting for the first time. Learned a few things right away. I am glad to find this site prior to entering the Trike world and to learn what is good and what is not.
I have a 2014 Harley Ultra Limited that I may convert to a Trike, or I might buy an existing trike or kit. Reading threads to see if this is wise. I rented a Harley Tri-Glide in June for Americade and I hated the ride; rather rough and steered like a truck. Very tiring and not fun at the end of the day. Fine machine on the highway, but backbreaking to handle on the curvey Adironrack backroads. Appears that Harley has a solid axle and a 4 degree rake and other manufactures have IRS and longer rakes (as much as 6"). Not being an engineering type person, most of this is confusing to me. Hopefully, I can find some other trike models to demo ride/rent from other manufacturers for comparison purposes.
