Nice find!   | ||

Seems like a lot of work to correct the kickstand lean problem | ||

I think that's taking the concept of putting car tires on the back wheels of motorcycles just a little too far... | ||

Although, I must say that I actually like this one! For some reason, there is a difference between the 2. I've personally seen tubers with sidecars, and they don't detest me either... | ||

For some reason, there is a difference between the 2. The white s2 gets frequently ridden! | ||

Nothin wrong with a trike. There is plenty of reasons to have one. I will end up on one eventually with my injuries. This one looks done right with a frankenstien rearend! http://www.frankensteintrikes.com | ||

Bet they get more than 7,000 miles out of rear tires.  | ||

Its a nice swap if you keep the rear swing arm and wheel assembly it will swap over very easy. | ||

A trike is the original reason I picked up a Buell. I was seriously injured said I would not walk again so I did alot if research and I was going to build a custom trike. Then I worked my as off and proved them wrong and fell in love with the bike. This is what I was going to build using my buell and an air shift kit really glad for many reasons I did not but still love trikes  | ||

That white S2 is actually an S3. The brown frame suggests it's a 97 btw. | ||

Three wheels are only ok on side cars. I loved my ural gear up and will have another one day. | ||

Someone was just asking where you can get a trike kit for an M2 on one of the facebook Buell pages. I'll have to see if I can find it to share this link. I don't think I've ever seen one before today. | ||

We really like our Frankenstein Trike, see my profile. Ours is the White S3 above. Have 25K miles on it so far. Only issue is rocks putting holes in the belt. Fixed that by building a belt guard out of sheet plastic. Problem solved. The Orange S1 belonged to one of the owners son and was the first Buell trike built by them. The axle should still be available as it is the same one for their Sportster conversion. That Red S2 also has a Frankenstein Trike conversion kit. Axle is solid machined aluminum with a Ford differential and truck wheel bearings. Send then a swing arm, for them to weld the mounts on to, and you get back a complete kit with instructions. I would suggest lowing the back by about 3.5 inches. Trikes need more rake for stability. Easily done by installing the 16.5" rear shock using the 14" front shock mount. Ours is stable to over 120 MPH. Also suggest installing a steering damper. When a trike front tire hits an obstacle it can oscillate worse than a two wheeler will. Oh! Rear tires at 15PSI. Any higher pressure and they bounce around like basketballs! http://www.frankensteintrikes.com/ (Message edited by 89rs1200 on July 28, 2017) (Message edited by 89rs1200 on July 28, 2017) | ||

Just noticed the bullhorn on the black XB! Wonder what they're doing with that thing. | ||

Those Xb trikes have independent rear suspension? If so, I wonder how they keep it from doing a "judo-roll" in a corner like a Corvair? |
