I have a 2005 Ultra Classic, want to convert to a Trike, would you out there say that the California Sidecar (Daytona) is the best for my ride, what is your opinion?

I don't KNOW....but I have seen Lehman (or Leahman...) at a few rallies....they looked pretty good....

Why are you converting from 2 to 3?  Knees go bad?

Well I am getting up in years, 60's that is and it just ain't as easy to hold up the 2 wheels as it used to be. I want a great conversion, I have seen the Leaman Version but they looked a little chopped off on the end, and there suspension is not the greastest.

Guess I'm lucky....pushing 68....still OK with my H-D dresser...but y'never know what tomorrow might bring.

Investigate...research...do your homework and then get the best you can afford.  There's gotta be 'net blogs or sites that specialize, find them and check them out.

Good luck!!

62 y/o. Fell over twice on my EG with my wife on. I now have a SuperGlide. MUCH easier to handle for me. 150ish lb lighter; slightly lower; a little narrower seat; can be equipped for moderate touring. A thought if not ready for a trike.
