    You might ask why I want a three wheeler in the first place?
    You might even think a three wheeler isn't a real motorcycle.
    The Tilting Motorworks system is a FULL LEAN, just like your two wheeled bike, system; and it allows you to corner even more aggressively! But with a tilt lock system installed it will lock the bike upright at speeds under 5 mph. This means shorter riders or older riders or even disabled riders can ride the ride they want to ride SAFELY. http://thekneeslider.com/tilting-mot...the-gold-wing/

    So Determined or Stubborn as I am, I bought a 2015 F6B with plans to convert it. Got a new one for 16k OTD.

    I'm a little short @ 5'7" and my inseams at 29" And while I'm flat footed on the Valkyrie F6C I am on the balls of my feet with the F6b. A lot of this has to due with the OEM seat being so damn wide - New Orleans Hooker wide.

    Looking forward to my conversion come spring - meanwhile I am loving the F6B and avoiding inclines where stops might be involved.

    Once the conversion is done I will put a Russell Day Long Saddle on it - I have one on my Indian and it is amazing.
