    I like the look of the Indian, the color reminds me of some of the late 60's early 70's colors.
    The most important things in life aren't things.
    Fall down seven times, get up eight.

    I could not do the Indian.
    The rear trike conversion looks over sized for the bike to me.

    I used to build VW trikes back in the day.
    I also rode the very first Can Am Spyder brought into the United States on a VIP test ride invite.
    The two wheel in the rear trikes made the front end feel like it was pushing in turns.(didn't want to turn and would at times skip)
    The Can Am, two wheels in the front, made you feel like it was going to eject you off of it in the turns.

    The main advantage is the old school trikes aren't ghey. There's a trike, and then there's a snowmobile with wheels.

    With a Harley motor filled with cement to counterbalance? When I was young my neighbour had one set up like that. Dang that was one noisy bike! It always got my attention.

    I believe that is a Road Smith trike kit on the Indian.

    OTOH Harley is wise manufacturing the trike themselves. There is a market for sure.
    They have just started converting these bikes, but they can and will convert any type of motorcycle. They also did my Rune for me.
