Two years ago my wife saw the new Harley (Lehman) Ultra Tri glide and fell in love. Alas she is too small. Then comes the Street Glide Trike. In her mind it was smaller but again upon a trial fit, the picture was more like a fruit fly f***ing a watermelon.
Her being a happy XL883L owner, she queried "Do you think Harley will ever make a Sportster Trike?" My reply was "Well probably not, but Lehman does them for Harley; I'm sure they make a kit for your Sporty... and the rest is history.

Step one:
Add some chrome to the very plain Sportster engine and up the cubes to 1200cc

Next... Find a Lehman Dealer and bring them the bike. Here's the last shot of her ride with 2 wheels:

So the story ends with a happy wife and a garage load of low mile Sporty parts.

Anybody need a swingarm, fender, rear tire and some saddle bags?

It looks great Nick  I hope you wife enjoys the new ride.  I might have a buyer for the bags  PM me what your asking price is.

Nice result. I wish my wife would go for something like that, so she could ride her own. Have fun.

Great looking Sport-Trike

Hope you & your wife enjoy many happy and safe rides for years to come.
