Looks like a good idea to me. Similar to the MP3 "scooter" from Piaggio which has intrigued me since it's introduction.

The front  "nosepiece" on the Tilting Motor Works kit needs some improvement, IMHO it's just plain ugly. But I'm sure that could be fixed with some time and effort.

I thought very interesting.  I don't believe I'm alone in thinking "how many more years can I hold this beast up......belly's gettin bigger, legs gettin skinnier and a trike just isn't the same because they don't lean".  Now there's hope.......an actual Harley (even with the fairing!) three wheeler that actually leans very similar to a two wheeler.  There's hope! :bananarock:

After a few real rider reviews, that concept looks a good alternative. Looks like a few years added riding for us older chaps.

After having had a chance to ride Travis and Susan's Spyder here locally a couple of times would readily admit to being far more interested in a bike made this way than any conventional trike.

Saw and sat on this one this past August at Black Hills HD.  They weren't offering test rides but I would have if given the opportunity.  I liked the look and feel of the modification.
