    It looks like a MotorTrike conversion. I never really cared for their looks. (IMHO)

    I love the Goldwing. It is definitely the Hallmark of motorcycles. But is it just me or is this conversion well over into the UGLY side of the scale?

    I prefer the appearance of the Sturgis and Hannigan conversions.
    Ron,
    You're 100% correct: the GoldWing is the best "Horizon Chaser" on the Planet!

    With a little work that frunk could be molded to be much more integrated with the bike overall and become a beauty. Assuming it retains the best aspects of the Wing I would try it out.

    Looks like a three wheel cross between a Peterbilt and a Freightliner.
    Artillery lends dignity to what would
    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    It is heresy I tell you, blasphemy at its worst! Siding with the devil himself is a direct comparison, you would be doomed to consider such a beastly concoction!

    Champion is the "american group" that you speak of. They originally took the Lehman Monarch II body kit and put their IRS driveline under it, and called it a Lehman. If you google Lehman Trikes, you will find a current internet presence.The address is the same as for the Champion factory.

    The coffin nose kills it for me. Add in the fact that local dealers will not work on any conversion, and they say the warranty is voided. All three are deal breakers.
