    Default another company goes to the forward trike

    Here is someone else trying the forward trike concept. Nice to see that option applied to a Royal Star.

    $16k with 32k on miles seems a bit up there for a 10 year old bike

    The styling could use a bit of work...
    The electronics package is virtually non-existent...
    There's no warranty...

    But what the heck: it shows that other companies are starting to sit up, and take notice!

    It's a nice first effort!

    The bike is a Royal Star Tour Deluxe, the hard bags are the stock bags used on the RSTD and the RSV, the light bar is also the stock bar from the RSTD and RSV, there is no fairing, it is an aftermarket windshield.

    Not sure why they went with the RSTD, the RSV would have brought in a top bag with passenger back rest and a decent fairing with electronics.

    I do wonder why the write up claims it is a Venture and claim it is a six speed when the RSTD and RSV have a five speed transmission.

    Default FrankenTrike

    Looks very Frankenstein to me.....cobbled together.

    I went from a large cruiser to a Spyder because of the increased stability of the reverse layout, and most importantly because it's a clean sheet design and not a kit/conversion.
