@ltuomela

Most of our customers *used* to have independent rears and switched to ours.

The independent rears cause sway and by the time you put on enough sway bar to counter-act that, it's not independent anymore.

The first conversion we built was independent.

We dumped that idea FAST.

Solid axles are much better.

[ltuomela]

@USTRIKES ya know it just seems to me swaying would be like leaning..i dont know, i dont ride a trike..me its a ultra glide classic MOTORCYCLE..this is a ole mans way of staying in the game..which is good, but not for me man..i wouldn't even ride one outta the Harley shop..i just inquired wtf was up with them..larger motors, clutches n such is what it takes..they say just buy one instead of converting..its cheaper..thats what Harley says anyway..me never..ill ride till i die... proper...

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela Harley "says" whatever gets your money into their pocket. Our kits come with a LIFETIME guarantee. Do theirs? Nope. Why? Because we believe in our build quality and in 15 years, we've never had a mechanical failure. [then again, ours are made entirely in the USA using American parts]....:) Most of our customers are disabled vets and trikes are the only way they can stay in the wind, God bless 'em. Here's hoping you can keep riding your Ultra Glide forever. Take care. U.S. Trikes

[ltuomela]

well i was inquiring for my dad he is to old to hold up a big ole bike anymore,so they are correct cause i was gonna convert his Harley and a conversion kit IS more expensive then just flat out buying one.like i said larger clutches, engine, breaks,tires all that...ill tell my ole man about you guys..what engines you guys use...fact gimme the whole low down man..price n all...i think they are sweet just not fer me...my Bike rides it self really..but then again i been on bikes for 30 years now..

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela @ltuomela

A HD trike costs about 30-40K, depending.

With every bell and whistle imaginable, we can convert his bike for 10K or *less* depending on much installation you do yourself.

[ltuomela]

.well im talking loaded..lol..we dont want no training wheel looking hunk a shit...ya know?..

i have talked to several owners of trikes...you telling me you can build a trike for 8500?..frame up?..what...k so 10k for all, on top of the cost of the bike bro..28k..based price...ours have all the bells n whistles and reverse already in them..its just a electric motor for reverse no big deal..28k Harley is willing to build a trike fully loaded by the way..so this trike in this vid whats the cost?

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela

We don't hate Harley.

They build good machines.

We do hate that they overcharge for stuff that doesn't cost anywhere near what they're saying it does.

We also don't much like that most HD dealers won't honor a bike's warranty with a trike kit installed.

"Loaded" is about $10K.

[ltuomela]

@USTRIKES k man thanks fer your time...i dig the looks of yours..its all good man...

[USTRIKES]

If you put it together yourself [not hard to do] it's much less.

We've done -total- builds which included new inverted fork front ends installed, custom gas tanks, tires/wheels and custom paint jobs for less than $12K. 

[ltuomela]

ohh by the way ...dont get me wrong k..i think your trikes are very sharp...i like them alot infact...n i done 3 tours in Iraq so i feel ya on all that...my whole deal with these trikes is,say on a bike run, like we do poker runs n such,the turn radius is massive man...we have 3 guys in the club that ride them,i do think its a good thing what your doing...they are very nice..i sure would like to see a photo gallery of the many you have built,i have built bikes but not trikes..lol..

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela Thank you for your service to our country! You can see more of our builds at ustrikes.com/trike_pix.htm. The whole site is full of pictures. Hope you enjoy them.

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela If we ship you a complete kit you install, it's $8500 or less, depending on whether you get a body or not.

We're the most affordable kit out there and we give vets and disabled people a discount.

HD can *not* beat that, even in their dreams.

They're BSing you about the clutches and brakes.

Our kits use your stock tranny and engine, no problem..

Our particular design can even convert an 883 Sportster and it still runs like a champ.

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela The brakes are Wilwood disc brakes that can stop a 5000 pound car on a dime.

More brake than you'll *ever* need.

You don't have to get skinned just to pay for the "HD brand name".

They're just slapping prefab kits on bikes.

[USTRIKES]

@ltuomela The "special" stuff they claim is on them is all stuff _you do not need_ to have a great trike but makes -them- a handsome profit.

And ~we~ include a reverse in the base package price....*and* there's that lifetime warranty thing to consider.

Call us.

We'll take of your dad better than Harley will.

@ltuomela

Sorry...you gotta read all that from top to bottom.

Goofy forum limits characters.

[missionron]

Where would i get an electric reverse for my trike? Thanks!



[USTRIKES]

@missionron

It's exclusive to our kit design and built in.

It can't be added on.

[ginabell1963]

i wish the lord wood bless me with a nice us trike they are nice

[missionron]

how do i get this on my trike? Im paraplegic and my trike doesnt have reverse and im looking at ways and man, this is by far the best. where and how much??

[USTRIKES]

@missionron

You could sell your current trike kit and buy one of ours.

It's exclusive to our kit design and built in.

It can't be added on.

Call us!

We can help.

[ElvenRSP]

What's the handling like on one of thesse things seeing as you can't really lean in to corners like on a normal bike?

[USTRIKES]

@ElvenRSP

They handle GREAT and the lack of "sway" is a bonus, not a deficit.

Independent rears aren't as great as you'd think they'd be.

[yvonne5C]

very nice i drive a family boom trike, really nice, von x

[USTRIKES]
