what top brackets are required to bolt Motor Trike to frame

[Downtown Cowtown]

Here we go, got the bushing for the swing arm from motor trike, thru a dealer about 3 miles from me, called him today saying i need top brackets to bolt unit 07 streetglide frame, think that anyway. No call back yet. Called troup tx and got a call back in waiting if i remember correctly, sooooo no parts catalog sold, no parts numbers, no install instructions, everything Ive read on this site says non friendly in that area. I told them they have a pooooor business model, they said they trying to improve that.

Dont hold your breath. Makes me sad. I was excited to finally get to where i wanted to put this pile together. I ll call dealer again tomorrow, an every day till i get some satisfaction, on the parts, and see if he ll run me off a parts diagram, don't hold your breath.

This aint rocket science, and mt stuff aint a state secret, but they act like it and turns people off, as evidenced by complaints on this site, that saddens me, also pisses me off, Ive got your product, help me install and let me sing your praises. Thats my side, dont know if the brackets bolt the box on or not, i could make them but flying blind, we ll see, any suggestions or pics would be appreciated.

I ll post a pick later, of course its way back in the shop and didnt think to do that first up

dealer called, emailed him pics, didn't sound like it did him much good, but he ordered parts on his an mine verbal description, i tole him if i was in the middle of Australia, and needed parts how would that get done, probably wouldnt get done he say, still a strange way to run a place of business, lawyers and ambulance chasers he say, i say, what about other trike manufactures, he say he don't know about them, jus motor trike expericne.

Ok,,send whatca got, shot in the dark stuff, soooo, crossed fingers all the good that will do.

So s i ordered the parts to hook up the rear end, got those in, fast shipping from motor trike, say that. Butttttt i ordered all the brackets to bolt the box to the framework, got none of that. Only need one of those. Also need the t handles and the keys for the box lid, and wondering what i need to hook up the tour box on top, its gotta have some kinda frame work to make that work, aint jus bolting to the fiberglass and shattering that down the road.

Its like pulling teeth to get anything done. But get it done i will. Its only money.

If you haven't already, PM Papa Zook...I'm sure you know he builds trikes for a living. If anybody can help you, he can.

Hey man, provide a picture with the body mounted on the trike.

I might have a bracket that will work.

Pics a bit later, hanging a door nows.

I need a front body to gladiator frame attachment from body to the framework, and i need a tour pak bracket that reinforces the tour pak area and allows tour pak to be bolted to something besides thin fiberglass.

thanks for suggestion, dealer about 3mi from my house, think i ll wear him out and put coin in his pocket, if that fails, maybe so. Jus frustrating sometimes trying to accomplish sumpn. But im getting closer to the goal, which is have parts, do work. Thanks

Not sure what you're referring to as a front body to Gladiator frame attachment. Posting pictures may help identify what you're referring to and get you accurate information to get the right parts ordered.

As far as the tour trunk (top box), NONE of the parts that attach the tour trunk are Motor Trike. MT kits use the oem HD FIXED tour trunk mounts so that the tour trunk is supported by the motorcycle frame & not attached to fiberglass to prevent any sort of damage to the body due to the load. If you're missing the tour trunk mount (lower loop rail, lp bracket, & upper loop) you'll have to get those either online or from HD.

Well im batting a hundred today, all sideways again an again, no solution known to me, yet.

anyways i need the bracket on the box front to the right of the rider sitting on the bike, or to the left looking at the bike from the front

any idea what the box bracket bolts to, another bracket ????? or plate from mt perhaps, if so i have a need to know.

need two t handles an keys, and i have a rack off a police bike that may work with the box for the tour pak, also have rack with the plate for the radio to sit on, like that one, maybe get more support.

those are my needs, email frank in a min and see if he can get her done, thanks Richard.
