    I'd argue that an RT-Limited with a 1330 under the Tupperware might just be pretty close!

    As I get older, I think I am getting smarter. Went on a 100 mile ride today. On the way home, the 14 would not go into reverse. All forward gears are good and it downshifts on its own. Back to the shop on Monday.

    Glad it happened at home and hope it's an easy fix.

    Do you have extended warranty?

    But if you already have the Indian, then your only looking at around $15000.00.
    Talk to Gene Wright at Crossroads Trikes in Salt Lake City. Does great work on conversions.

    Bob, sure hope you thank me too.
    So since Indian is not on the list can we assume that it is even better than Yamaha/Star or are they even less reliable than Spyders??? Gotta ask yourself, are you willing to jump out of the frying pan into the fire????
