I've said it before and I'll say it again, When my time comes for three wheels it will be a turbo charged four cylinder seven speed automatic Rewaco. Close to the same price as a Tri-Glide but so much more! Made in Germany by precision fanatics. Check em out at www.rewacousa.com

Some of those blinged out CVO's are crowding $50K once the dealer gets done tacking **** on, base on the 2016 CVO Ultra starts at $40K

I actually like it. That setup is a lot cooler and apparently more effective than the typical trike setup with two back wheels. Looks like it would be more fun to ride also.

If I wanted a trike I'd take a good hard look at that.

It just hurts my head to even think 40 or 50 grand for a bike. CVO or not.
So what are we taking about to have this new two wheel set up put on a bike ?
Is it a kit that you buy or do you have to take your bike to them for the install ?

It sounds like there are no "do it yourself" kits, as of yet. 10K for the kit, no mention of what they charge for the install.

Have you ridden a Can Am, or any trike conversion, or Harleys Tri Glide? Go around a curve, and because they don't lean, you feel like you are about to be thrown off.

A kit like this that allows you to lean allows you to ride it like a motorcycle, where the lean cancels out the side force that wants to throw you off.

There's been a scooter sold in Europe just like this.

...so, you don't like the idea?

Dunno , you read the same thing I did. I imagine some would able to do the conversion themselves but I'm betting to get any kind of warranty support it has to be done by " Your local authorized dealer service department " .......
