Motorcycle conversions? Anyone know of anyone who converts "normal" 2-wheel motorcycles to 3-wheeled trikes? I know you can buy one or two models new as 3-wheeled trikes, but is there anyone locally or semi-locally who does these conversions?

I have a buddy that had one converted up in Vancouver, they did a really nice job on his Goldwing. I will try to get in touch with him and find out the name of the place.

Check with Motorsports Unlimited. I think they are in the Tacoma area. They do a lot of custom work. I know the owner built his own drag bike frame and some others, so he might know about trikes or who can do them if they don't.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, I installed a Voyager conversion on my wifes 750 Honda Shadow. It makes it like training wheels, you keep the bikes rear wheel for drive and bolts to the bike frame, it can be removed in minutes. You can do a search on the internet it would get you to their website. My wife loves it, I like it because it frees me up to ride whatever bike I want, it will pull a small trailer. Ours has saddlebags and T-bag so shes carries all the gear works great for us. There is a place up in Marysville that does trike conversions I have seen there work they do a nice job, not sure if they have a web site.
