Judging by the pics I would have to say you really really Really like the bike. Should make a nice trike. Is the kawa dealer installing the kit?

I am doing the kit myself. The bike and the kit are scheduled to be delivered in about 2 weeks. I will try to do a good job of snapping pics of the process and posting them here if anyone is interested.

Sounds like a challenge but you are up for it. Just don't set back your rehab by doing something silly.

Hope you're up and riding real soon. Best wishes on a complete and fast recovery.

Congrats on the new bike...it's beautiful. Document the conversion as sometime in the future I will have to tackle that. Get well fast and ride safe.

Great! How many of you ride trikes or did one in the past? Isn't trike a bit harder to steer? I was driving tricycle and it was hard when going to corner, curve... It was like tricycle was telling me: I'm goin' this way like i want, not like you want... ''

I prosume you really have to know the bike, his cornering and you need to plan your curve more...
Burkbuilds, do post your pics, it is always a pleasure to see what master of skills is doing!

Speedy recovery and safe driving!

Trikes definitely steer differently than two wheels. Instead of leaning you do actually turn the front wheel much like you'd steer a car. I think I'll miss the leaning, but at least I'll be out in the open not caged up. One of my friends had a BMW with a side car for a long time, he said it took a lot of getting used to as well.

I plan to document the conversion really well with pictures and text and I'll be sure and post them on the forum.
