| |  We just did a Mystery Trike conversion
We just did a Mystery Trike conversion on a 2005 Sportster. The kit was easy to install and the bike sits real nice.
Anybody else do a conversion lately?

I need to do a conversion...from being a nice guy and people mistaking my kindness for weakness to being a complete @$$hole. I'm thinking I need to convert back to my old ways!
On a more serious note is this something we are going to see in a future AIM article or are there going to be pics posted?

Chris took lead on this one and I'll leave it up to him to fill in the details, but the donor Sportster belongs to Adam Williams here at the magazine, and he's always wanted a trike - this one looks sweeeeeet!
I suspect it will make print in about 4 or 5 months. |

Thanks for the offer, but we're good on trikes for a bit.
The conversion article is in the June issue, which hits the newsstands on May 12.
Installing raked triple trees is also recommended, for easier steering, so the July issue has that installation.
