Yama Mama Posted September 22, 2006 #1 Posted September 22, 2006 Here are some photos of a friend of ours trike. He lives in Indiana, and we met him and is wife at a church festival. This day, we had gone on a ride to his house from Batesville. :cool10: It was a beautiful day for a ride.
tbrdb0b Posted September 22, 2006 #2 Posted September 22, 2006 That is a beautifull bike, i am thinking of going that route, i would like to know how much power you loose with the added weight and wheels that you have to pull. thanks
Grandpagak Posted September 23, 2006 #3 Posted September 23, 2006 great looking trike... thanx:smile11:
Al Bates Posted September 23, 2006 #4 Posted September 23, 2006 Hey, Batesville, are there any Bates's live there? Nice job on the trike.
hipshot Posted September 23, 2006 #5 Posted September 23, 2006 wow, i'm underwhelmed! nice trike, if that's your preferance.lol just jt
Yama Mama Posted October 10, 2006 Author #7 Posted October 10, 2006 I really do not know what conversion he used, but it is an 01, I believe. I will try to find out what conversion he has. I do know that he had some problems with it, but the manufacturer made it good for him.
Yammer Dan Posted October 11, 2006 #8 Posted October 11, 2006 That would really look GREAT witha 1st gen.
Yama Mama Posted October 12, 2006 Author #9 Posted October 12, 2006 Okay, I'll give you a week, then send a photo. :rotf: :rotf: This is just some friends of our, we still have two good wheels. We are not ready for three wheels at this point. Hey look, even HD people sometimes go with three.
silvercrew Posted October 21, 2006 #10 Posted October 21, 2006 I would also like to know what kind of conversion it is on the bike. It sure does look good.
Squidley Posted October 21, 2006 #11 Posted October 21, 2006 Both nice looking trikes, and the RSV is a green '01, I just hope that I can keep it on 2 wheels for a VERY long time
HGWT Posted December 9, 2006 #12 Posted December 9, 2006 The conversion is a Motor Trike I have one like it.
bikenut Posted December 10, 2006 #13 Posted December 10, 2006 Here is the Tri-wing kit I did last year. I just love riding it. Very nice ride and not to bad to put on. If you have any question please let me know Bikenut Wisconsin
Yama Mama Posted January 11, 2007 Author #14 Posted January 11, 2007 WOW, That is really nice. Thanks for sharing! :banana: :banana:
Dawg Posted January 12, 2007 #15 Posted January 12, 2007 Can you tell me who converted it over to a trike??? Did they have the easy steer added, that is where they extend the forks 4 to 5 degrees, supposed to act like power steering? :think:
bikenut Posted January 13, 2007 #16 Posted January 13, 2007 I did all the work myself and my nephew did the paint job. it was not hard to do and now the kit is made easer for the newer ventures. I did not install the easysteer but have send a spare triple tree setup up to canada to have the changes made and I will be adding it to the bike in the spring. It did not steer that hard but anything to make it better I am all for it. Hope this helps. Bikenut Wisconsin
hipshot Posted January 13, 2007 #17 Posted January 13, 2007 wow, i'm underwhelmed! nice trike, if that's your preferance.lol just jt well! i'm not so "underwhelmed ", anymore! the more i look at trikes, and the more my old bones ache, the better i like the idea of a trike! gonna ride two as long as i can, but i LOVE the idea of having options! just jt
dray Posted January 13, 2007 #18 Posted January 13, 2007 i sure like the looks of the trikes now but im still hoping its a few years before i need one nice bikes:thumbsup2:
Carbon_One Posted January 13, 2007 #19 Posted January 13, 2007 I had a VW trike back in the early 70's. That machine sure was a lot of fun. Until someone actualy rides one I would say it's hard to judge one. Just my thoughts here. I do know that when the 2 wheeled horse gets a bit too much to handle I'll convert to a trike again in the blink of am eye. I've ridden sidecar rigs before too but those are a horse of a different color so to speak. Myself I prefer the trikes. One thing I'd like to see for the Venture trikes is an operational reverse for times whem you really need to back up. I know there's a post somewhere around here about that too but as far as I know no conclusive option has been offered. Oh well maybe by the time I'm ready for that 3rd wheel someone will have that figured out. If not I'll build something. Larry http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v213/21651/VWTrike-mail.jpg
Jerry M Posted January 14, 2007 #20 Posted January 14, 2007 here are some pictures of my 05 RSTD trike,it is a tri-wing conversion,I have it tore down now getting ready for paint and some body modifications.
Guest straycat Posted January 14, 2007 #21 Posted January 14, 2007 They look great, I wouldn't have a problem running one of them.
Guest Captain Video Posted January 14, 2007 #22 Posted January 14, 2007 Anyone know if any of the trike kits are the kind where if one wheel loses traction the other one kicks in? We used to call it a "posi-rear".
