Sissy Bar Info Needed

I have a 2006 HD Road King Classic with a California Side Car conversion. I have the stock seat on the trike and am looking to find how to put on a sissy bar. No one seems to know how to attach one; I could buy a new seat but would prefer not to. Any ideas are welcome. Email me: baorthman02@yahoo.com

Champion IRS Question

I had a Champion Independent Rear Suspension kit installed on my 2006 Gold Wing. The rear wheels are really leaning in (negative camber). One inch negative camber and it is supposed to be 3/8 inch. Has anybody out there had one of these kits installed and have they had any problems with it? I'm thinking I would have been better off going with the proven straight axle kit.

Seeking Answers on Steering Head Shake

Several years ago I had my 03 Heritage Softail Classic converted using the Lehman Renegade kit. I experience considerable steering head shake, particular at lower speeds but also at higher speeds, i.e., expansion joints. I have increased the torque on the steering head as well as I have a steering stabilizer installed by the Lehman dealer doing the conversion. I have heard that the Champion E-Z steer will correct about 90 percent of the head shake. However, I have been told by a couple of dealers that the head shake is inherent to the H-D softail models and the E-Z steer will not help.

As this is an expensive modification, I would like to hear from others who have experienced this same problem and how or if they were able to solve it. I am willing to spend the money if I am fairly certain it will work. Please email me at: weckles@cox.net

Seeking Input on Custom Trike Design

We are a small firm based in Auckland and Palmerston, North New Zealand. We are currently building a trike with a Monaquie Frame, 1800 Subaru motor, with a new design front end, on 21-inch front wheel with a independent diff, running 20 inch rear wheels. It has been designed with foot control electronic automatic Toyota Gear box.

We are starting out with an idea but we are open to constructive comments. I'll send photos if anyone has any questions. Email: davesmith@windowslive.com

I run the Reverse Trike Club at -
http://reversetrike.com/home.html

I'm thinking that these type of trikes with two wheels in the front would be very popular with women riders. Especially for women who don't have any experience with motorcycles for example, and want to get started riding, a 2F1R trike would be a good way to join in.

There are even some enclosed trikes if that interests you, and quite a few that drive more like cars with steering wheels versus handlebars. Whatever you're looking for, it can probably be found in one brand or another.
