Tilting Motor Works on a Harley?

I inquired about it and when they said $16,500 and a week at their Washington state building I pretty much left it at that.
I like the idea it still rides mostly like a regular bike. IMO it is extremely ugly and appears that nose would block a lot of air?
My next one will be a CanAm Spyder RT limited most likely. 115 H.P. 100# TQ fully liquid cooled and ride like a dream.

Sometime within the last year I came across a YouTube video comparison to include this along with other 3 wheeled bikes. This one came way out on top and as near as I could tell the judging was completely unbiased. Actually looked like a fun bike to ride and if I was in need of assistance and money was not an issue I would be all over it. Conversely a nice alternative would be Leg Up Landing Gear, considerably cheaper. Near as I can tell it is possible to be adapted to most bikes. As a bonus they are located in Florida.

Harley Davidson had a patent on just such a design, I am sure the concept would work.

Good evening group,
I am considering this conversion for my HD.

At age 75 I am enjoying my motorcycle, as does my lady. However, I can feel that the time is coming where the weight of the bike and two up is going to cause me problems at very low speeds and/or stopping and starting.
I do not want a traditional trike. No flames. Everyone should ride what they like.
The tilting three wheeler appears to be the answer for me. However, they have not been around long enough to have many critiques.
Has anyone experienced one of these on the road?
Best,
Steven A,

The leaning three-wheel concept is common amongst the scooter industry here in Europe, with Piaggio and Peuguot both making them, so it is a well tried approach to providing a supposedly stable 'bike'. A pal of mine has had one for several years, but beware! He HAS come off the darned thing, tipping it over by going too fast into a tight bend! And he's in his 70s.....
