That's kinda sad. Kinda cool, but sad. I'd appreciate it more if it could still lean, via some kind of linkage setup. A Buell should always be able to LEAN. |

Jeez, 3-wheeled ATVs were banned years ago for obvious reasons. I guess the UK didn't get the message. |

They could have gone a little wider.....if they used a truck axle! Do you fall over when you stop? Not any more! I don't drink when I ride. Quit that a long, long time ago. |

I'm not a fan of trike conversions in general, but that looks like it took a lot of work. I would like to see that done as a quad for some sort of crazy autocross event. |

I am all over this. It looks like a first class conversion job. If I had the expendable cash right now I would buy it and donate it to a wounded Vet organization. |

The Trike Shop, who did this one are one of the benchmark builders in the UK, they've done a XB12SS too. For disabled riders sometimes it's the only option if you want to keep riding. http://www.trikeshop.co.uk/ |

"I have not heard of another similar conversion so this is a really unique trike" At some point unique pushes to become odd. There is a reason not alot of people are taking a perfectly great bike and putting a rear axle and extra wheel on them.... much less painting them champagne pink. |
