Tilting Motorworks Reverse Trike Kit
Does anyone here have experience with the relatively new Tilting Motorworks Reverse Trike kits?
I'm looking at converting a 2014-2017 Ultra Limited or a 2012-2017 Wing to replace the front wheel assembly with a TWW kit involving two front wheels. The feature I like about TMW is the entire bike still tilts b/c the front wheels tilt when turning. The only online discussions I've seen are sponsored by TMW or its dealers and I'm looking for some user feedback.
I already own a 2012 Airbag model Wing so I'm leaning toward a 2014-2017 Ultra Limited since the trike is for my g/f to ride or for use to ride 2-up.
I don't need any comments on differences between 2014-2017 Ultra Limiteds as these are readily available here.
Anyone have experience, good or bad, with TMW trikes?

I have no direct experience, but have been looking at one of their conversions myself for quite awhile now.
To me it looks far superior to a regular trike.
What do you think about the tilt lock option, worth the extra coin?
Hoping someone here might own one so we could pick their brain.
I have an authorized dealer near me, so might just take a cruise down, maybe they will let me test drive one.
I wish they would just sell the kit, and not have to pay for dealer install though.
In this ad they quote $1200 for install of the kit.

Was considering converting my 05 RK, but really want to keep it the way it is, and not have just the converted bike to ride.
That means buying another bike and converting it, a lot more money for me, but I'll get to keep my RK as is.
Or just buy one already done, like one of these.

It looks cool. I wonder if the front end parts require lubrication at service intervals? I would hope it has grease fittings to increase life expectancy. The 1 year warranty would be one my concerns. I wonder what the mileage (life) expectancy might be.
I rode a Reverse trike Goldwing and did not tilt. It could be a tad loose in the turns if you pushed it. On the hiway it would fly. This seems like a better idea.

I just bought a 2015 Road Glide. The ultimate goal is to have it converted to a TMW front end. I’ve watched many videos on it (including one by Jay Leno) and am convinced it is a great way to go. I have a local installer whom I’ve known for many years and trust. He will let me ride one of his converted stock bikes.
Once the conversion is completed, I will sell my RK and Victory and just have one bike. I hope to have the conversion performed next winter.
