• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

A Harley V Rod reverse trike kit coming

I can see this type of kit becoming available for a lot of the bikes out there. Everyone knows that reverse trikes are the future and the standard trikes are a thing of the past. More stable for one thing. Harley just needs to do something with the front. Looks like something is missing........maybe a frunk!!!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
 
:agree: totally!!! pretty butt ugly if you ask me! and not to mention $5000.00 to make a nice machine look that ugly. kinda botox that went wrong!!
 
Could be interesting, but needs a Bonnet (Brit for hood) or frunk. Steering input ??Price ??
Good luck anyway. Now the Harley riders i ride with in the PGR can go the right way. Just kidding of course

The V-rod is one of my all time favorite bikes - I've owned three of them! Making one into a reverse trike is the answer to a lot of folks dreams. Since the depreciation on a V-rod is very high, you can get a very nice Rod for under $10K, add a $5K front end, and have a real RSS competitor, that is more comfortable (forward controls vs bent knee), and much less expensive. They will sell a ton of them!
 
Figuring a V Rod Muscle runs around $15,800, add another $5,000 for the kit minus labor to install, roughly $20,800 minus taxes and labor. That's a nice 2014 RSS. Looks a lot nicer too.
 
Great start and

the hard part is done. Someone like Corbin could fabricate a nose cone.

Opinion........Well done folks!
 
Hi Bob.

Re: I wish them the best of luck! :thumbup:

So do I. Always room for more ideas in the marketplace.

As regards the 'no frunk' thoughts: How many Spyder owners use 3rd party saddlebags?

And just think: No heat problems :yes:

PS) And this from one article: "Because of the overwhelming interest, they hope to start filling orders in spring 2015 and continue to design them for other models of bikes." Things are getting interesting.
 
?

No abs, stability controls and it doesn't lean. Another concept vehicle that will never make it to market. It would be a liability nightmare. Imho. It needs real r&d to be viable.
 
I think that the freedom from compliance with automotive safety and emissions standards, may be what's driving this new interest... :D
After all; 4-wheeled Spyders have been done many times. But if BRP did them; the additional costs would most-likely kill the project before it had a chance. :banghead:
