  1. Charlie, let me see if I can answer some of your questions.First the cutting/welding instructions are clear.You will need to grind a ring out of your stock drive shaft housing for clearance.You can purchase the proper paint for your bike from COLOR-RITE.I have not done any steering mods,it takes a few days riding to get use to the trike I know the first trip I took around the block made me wonder,did I ruin a perfect motorcycle, you need to work with the amount of air you run in the tires,air bags,and stock mono shock that will make the trike work. The trike works great on the highway I tow a trailer and you can run 70+ mph and steer with one hand.I posted a couple pics. on the trike forum yesterday if you want to see what the 2nd.gen. kits look like.If you decide to go with TRI-Wing they are great people to work with.When I got my kit it was only the third one they had done,so I had to make a few changes which now you will not have to make.Mike on the forum here got his kit after mine and they had all the problems worked out.Hope this will help.

  2. Charlie, My first question would be,do you have any help?I guess you could do it yourself but sure would be a lot better with two people.I did mine and had some help with getting the rearend in place and other things like setting the body on the frame about 20 times making sure everything lines up.The bigest problem I had was getting the driveshaft cut and welded.Then you need someone to paint the body.You will need to wire lights,bleed the brakes,extend the exhaust and that is about it.I am 62 and not in great health so there is no way I could have done the job myself.Hope this will help.You can PM if you like and I could answer any other questions you have.Jerry M:080402gudl_prv:
  3. 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.
  4. Jon, what dealer did you purchase your bike from?Jerry M
  5. have you checked jc whitney? I saw one in their catalog, in the cruiser section.page 148
  6. Scott' The wires are in the headlight,there is a 12 pin connector.The main thing is when do you want the lights on.The red power wire is connected to the blue wire if you want them to be on all the time,high beam only yellow wire and low beam only green wire.Hope this helps Jerry
  7. I think if I were going after the truck I would ride the nighthawk there and load it in the truck and drive back home.Jerry
  8. I received the correct part #from John at Flanders today and ordered new bars #650-08783 if anyone is interested. Jerry
