Any Trike Riders Here? - Harley Forum

Many years ago I bought my first trike - a wonderful and rare WW2 era 1941 Harley Servicar. What a blast that thing was to ride around - if I wasn't in much of a hurry to get any where.

Never should have sold that trike but my garage was too full and it took up a lot of space.

Anyone else here own or ride a trike?

I'm thinking seriously about converting mine to a three wheeler..my balance just ain't what it use to be..yea getting old I guess.

Seems to be a growing market segment. Anyone else on three wheels, new stock model trikes, DIY, or customs?

Buzz,
I just brought myself a 2009 FLHTC and will hook it up with a 2001 Tle Ultra side car. Did not ride it yet as there is still snow and salt on the roads and only 10 degrees outside. Wife and I can't wait to take it out for a couple of long tours. Will be interesting to learn how the side car outfit handles.

Buzz-I have 2003 Road King Police bike that was converted to a DFT Trike..I hit a deer a few years ago on my 95th anniversary Electra-Glide and totally wiped out the bike and the deer (me-broken leg and arm)...
I love it-I took a trip down to Daytona 2 years ago August--what a great ride-handled well-you just need to change your thoughts on steering (and don't forget-you don't need a kick-stand

I have a home built 57 servicar with a 45 flathead. You should have kept yours. There's a wow factor it has that's missing from the modern trikes, pretty as they are.
