TBS Trike conversion.
Hi, Has anyone seen or know of a TBS that has been converted into a trike. I was thinking about changing my TBS into a trike and would like to know what fitments were or are used for doing this. Living UK Cheers BJ

I have never even seen a TBS trike. I would be interested in seeing one. Personally I would not convert my only Tbird to a trike. If I had an extra one or a wrecked one I might try it.

Other Motorcycle: Can there be room for 2?
I had a trike once. It should never be confused with a motorcycle. Not the same thing, regardless of what a state DMV may call it. Just a good way to mess up a motorcycle. Buy a Miata. more room, more fun, has a heater. And will actually turn.

Ooops, guess I had an opinion.

Other Motorcycle: Can't afford two!
Extra Motorcycle: Three would be insane
A TBS is a terrible thing to waste
