Tomahawk Conversion

[TomWoodgeard]

Hello; I am contemplating the conversion for my 2016 Roadmaster.

I have a couple of questions for those that have converted their Indian:

1. Did you have to change your title to reflect the change?

2. How did your insurance company handle the conversion?

3. Is the "Rake Kit" a new triple tree?

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.....Tom Woodgeard - Sarasota, FL

1. Did you have to change your title to reflect the change? I have not done a conversion, but, it's my understanding that you do not.

2. How did your insurance company handle the conversion? My insurance company (Geico) considers the conversion an accessory. I increased my accessory coverage to 10k,

3. Is the "Rake Kit" a new triple tree? Yes, I've owned a trike with and one without. It is worth the money.

N0

As an accessory. There was no increase in my premium! Took pics and kept all receipts

3. Is the "Rake Kit" a new triple tree?

I had a Tomahawk conversion with my Indian Roadmaster

MY insurance company (State Farm) considers it a customization. and I'm not sure about the title but I will check into it.

During the conversion (it took a few months) I found:

1. I had the 1st reverse kit (electric) installed by motortrike. The electric reverse requires a secondary battery and Motortrike had not designed the wiring harness to connect the secondary battery to the main battery. after the installation, the reverse stopped working but after some research it turned out to be a bad 30 amp fuse. seems to be working ok now. Motortrike does not offer a mechanical reverse (uses your engine)
   
2. My FM/AM and NOAA radio reception went to zero even with antenna booster. I'm looking for someway to install an external antenna to get my reception back
   
3. I had the rake kit installed and it did require a new head (think of the angle changes required)
   

I like the conversion better than my old Spyder
