ragtop69gs Posted June 19, 2013 #1 Posted June 19, 2013 My cousin's husband is looking for a trike. Has to be a true trike , no outrigger types. He wants to spend in the neighborhood of 10K . If you hear of anything for sale please let me know. Wings, Ventures, Kawasaki's........ NO HD branded trikes.
steamer Posted June 19, 2013 #2 Posted June 19, 2013 Very few trikes out there for 10 grand. occasionally you can find an older RSV for around $14000.00 or a 90's Goldwing for around the same $$.
Guest tx2sturgis Posted June 19, 2013 #3 Posted June 19, 2013 He can buy a brand new Ural sidecar bike for that, if he is not wanting it for 80 mph road trips, it might be what the doctor ordered. http://www.imz-ural.com/2013-ural-t/ For $1500 more than the base model he can get this one: http://www.imz-ural.com/2013-ural-tourist/ http://www.imz-ural.com/wp-content/gallery/2012-tourist/2redtur.jpg Otherwise, good luck finding a roadworthy trike for 10 grand.

Jonesy can fill you in on this kit. He owns one that looks a lot like this one. Some one did butcher the rear exhaust pipes on this trike. They completely remove the rear chrome Y pipes. Don't know why. I have seen several Triwing kits with the stock Y pipes on. Looks kind of ugly with those black pipes on the rear cylinders.

Looks kind of ugly with those black pipes on the rear cylinders. Yea I saw that on the pipes too but the bike is within their budget and could be changed later back to stock probably. Tri-Wing kit on it as you say, same as I had on the 05 I had till last fall when it got "T" boned & totaled. Larry
steamer Posted June 22, 2013 #11 Posted June 22, 2013 The 88 is a better deal. The 99 looks like a back yard butcher job. The 88 was probably installed by Motortrike. Motortrike is one of the top trike fabricators out there. They are darn near bullet proof. It probably has a Ford 7.5 in straight axle with 3.78 gears. The only problem, it probably doesn't have air suspension, just coil over shocks. So the ride maybe a little on the mushy side.
ragtop69gs Posted June 22, 2013 Author #12 Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks to everyone who's contributed, everything has been forwarded to Trent, the ball is now in his court, he likes the 88 and is trying to line up some financing to go with the cash he has on hand. Thanks, One and all
jonesy Posted June 22, 2013 #14 Posted June 22, 2013 Look at the trailer hitch on that 99 one, looks like its not put on center, kind of off to the right too much.
