Insta Trike on a lowered 2 Gen RSV?

[bknsaddle]

Good morning all,

 

Father Time, abuse of my body while young, and a recent bout with Cancer have brought me to that dreaded, but necessary, decision that I do not belong on 2 wheels anymore. I do not want to give up riding, however, but cannot afford a full blown trike. I have a 2013 Venture which I love, but had to lower to accommodate my short legs.

 

Since I need the RSV lowered to get my feet on the ground to back the bike up, I need a kit that does not require my RSV (Amanda) to be raised back to stock height, OR I need a kit that requires Amanda to be a stock height but provides reverse.

 

My research shows that:

• Voyager requires stock height and has expensive reverse
  
• Trigg is apparently out of business
  
• Trip Trike requires stock height and does not have a reverse option
  
• Tow Pac Insta Trike
  
  • Has no proven reverse (see this thread for the horror story https://www.triketalk.com/forum/threads/46416-My-Tow-Pac-14-quot-InstaTrike-Install-on-Ultra-Classic-Harley/page4 )
    
  • But their folks seem to "think" the Insta Tike kit would work on a lowered RSV, but "might" have an issue for 14 in. wheels with side bag lids when opened. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of fitment experience.
    

 

So, my fellow Ventureriders, has anyone actually put an Insta Trike kit on a lowered 2 Gen RSV?

Side bag lid clearance?

Other problems?

 

Many thanks....Steve
