Indian Trike.

[flat6bagger]

I agree Bob, I have to ride a Trike due to my paralysis, but who wouldn't love the Indian Trike. The engineering, and history of that motorcycle brand would make you fall for it for sure

Unfortunately it is no more an Indian than I am a Doberman Pincher.
They are a glorified Polaris with the Indian name now.

Now here is what I would like to turn my F6B into.
The one in the picture needs a taller windshield and backrest (which I have) to finish off the gorgeous looks.
I don't have anything physically wrong with me and if I could afford it,I would convert mine in a minute.

Looks good Doug. but I would ride that Indian in a heart beat. Really sweet looking. Love the two tone paint.

I have never ridden a trike. Are there any advantages over the old school versions (rear 2 wheel) versus the CanAm versions (front 2 wheels) of the trikes ?

I like the look of the Indian, the color reminds me of some of the late 60's early 70's colors.

[flat6bagger]

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.

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.

No Harley motor at all.
I will have to dig up a picture and post it.
I'm sure I have one somewhere.
I just never thought about taking pictures of my cars or toys back then.

There is a guy that visits the Rock Store in Malibu that built his own. It has a VW rear end, a corvair engine, a Harley front end and his own frame.

True that.
