Wow ... I'm really not into trikes, but the pic OFG posted is slick! The guy clearly knows what he is doing.

Trikes are much more unsafe than 2 wheelers. They make the bike unstabile in turns.

ORIGINAL: Flatlander

I have heard some horror stories about those bolt on trike setups. If I needed a trike I would probably save up money and get a true trike conversion.
We've got a guy down here that has done two "bolt on" trike conversions on sportsters and, although he rides one and sold the other, he really didn't like them. WAY to short a wheelbase and handled funny at highway speeds....

As for "THAT" sportster,,,, I've heard jokes about doing training wheels for the OL but GEEEZZZZZZZZZZ someone sure put way to much time and money into that thing :-)

Well yeah... that's ugly... seen a lot better for the same purpose...

As far as the pic OFG posted... that one still looks unfinished... I mean it looks like the just took the rear tire off and put a trike axle under it... I think it looks pretty ugly too....

But hey... to each his own...

The bike looks great until you look at the back end. There's already enough jokes about sporties being starter bikes, girls bikes; great now this will add fuel to jokesters liketraining wheels for the beginner. Sorry man, but that looks embarassing.

That bike has been on E-bay for awhile --relisted numerous times.

Not my taste but I suppose it is functional for someone that needs it.
