    Default Harley Davidson Quad from Q-Tech

    Has anyone seen this, video says its now available here in the states and street legal. Kind of expensive at about $20,000 for both front and rear kit setup.

    1920s technology wrapped in a 2020s chassis...
    I had a quad once:

    kind of cool to me
    my concern with it would be cooling, seems like the front would block a lot of air to the engine.
    But then any reverse trike kit I've seen would have the same issue on any aircooled motor.
    Motortrike, and Endeavor do similar with reverse trikes. I guess if you live/drive where it's cooler there might not be any problem.
    If you look at the video, the kit appears to be well engineered.
    It is pricey for sure-$11,000 for the front and about the same for the rear, that's 20 thou plus a bike.
    Now it they did one for an F6B or an M90 or a smaller bike it would be great.
    and then there's Hannigan who did this to a Gold Wing a few years ago.
    I'm sticking with my F3.

    I've noticed that whenever someone makes a 2-wheeler into something else, they just don't know what to do with that front-end where there used to be a wheel. Like with that Indian reverse-trike and now this HD quad. That nose is just ugly!

    Lots of people will buy it just because it's a Harley Davidson. It's not for me ,but if you like it that's ok with me just ride on.

    If I had plenty of money I would own a Street Glide 2015 and up for an additional ride. HD does need to update to attract new customers that's for sure.
