| kupid, you sent me a PM. Unfortunately I can't respond to you.
I think you have your Profile Settings set not to receive incoming PM's from members.
At least that is the message I got when I tried to write back to you.

| I was thinking of getting a trike myself but decided to go with two wheels for as long as I can. Now if a nice trike kit at a decent price came up, who knows! Yours is a really beautiful trike and I can see the advantage of 3 or maybe 4 wheels if your rear wheel is the drive wheel and the others are outriggers. Keep on riding and be safe. |

| Both of those trike conversions look good but I got to give it to Kupid, his conversion looks like a USAF interceptor from that angle. Maybe one like the Goblin fighter the USAF tested that was supposed to drop from the bomb bay of a B52 in flight to defend the bomber. I remember well from my teenage sightings of that test aircraft when we lived at Edwards Air Base. Turned out the thing could fly well and be carried in the bomb bay okay but it was nearly impossible for it to be lifted back into the mother ship due to inter plane turbulence.

| Thanks kupid. I don't have any regrets on converting it. I did get a new GIVI top box for it. They both look about the same and this winter I'm going to put the 4 speakers, 300 Watt Amp and Bluetooth receiver into the new one so I can have my 50s and 60s Rock and Country with me while I ride. This new one doesn't have lights like the old one and looking at some of the videos for putting lights in it looked a bit more than my meger skills could handle. So I bought an 8" light bar that has LEDs. It came with a wiring diagram which doesn't look too complicated and it will fit right under the box on the mounting plate. Then wiring it to the taillights shouldn't be any problem. I hope. It has wires for Left turn, Right turn, Taillight and Stop light. The turn signal LEDs are yellow and the tail and stop are red. If you see lots of smoke coming from Minnesota then you'll know I messed up. LOL |
