In 1996, Boss Hoss began to manufacture the trikes in their factory and ceased with selling kits. The Boss Hoss trikes had rear ends that looked like a Chevrolet Corvette, a 57 Chevy or a 32 Low-boy hot rod, or other very distinctive and popular cars. The Corvette rear end was discontinued after a few years and was replaced with a 2000 Sierra truck rear end. Starting in 2006, the Boss Hoss trikes have a three speed transmission. Today the trikes feature a smooth shifting Turbo 350 hydromatic transmission with reverse and park. There is ample storage room on the Boss Hoss trikes.

If you own a chopper-style motorcycle, and want a trike, you can purchase a trike kit that will covert your motorcycle into a chopper trike within one day. Some of the kits available to transform your chopper into a trike involve no cutting or welding, it is basically a ‘bolt-on’ conversion that requires no modifications. Other kits do require a bit of cutting and welding, so you just have to do a bit of research to find the conversion kit you’re comfortable with.

Modifying choppers into trikes are becoming very mainstream and popular. There are countless trike clubs around the world and many larger cities have trike shows.

Many motorcycle owners don’t feel as comfortable on their choppers anymore, and have sadly left the cycles sit in the garage. A trike chopper brings a whole new life to your chopper and you’ll be much more comfortable, confident and safer on the trike chopper.

Conversion kits are available to buy as mentioned, but if you don’t feel comfortable making the conversion yourself, you can have a custom shop transform your chopper into a trike, for a fee, of course.

Another great thing about a trike conversion is that the sky’s the limit. You can have your chopper ‘Triked’ in a countless number of ways.

A chopper trike looks super cool and it’s a blast to drive. There are many dealers across the United States who both sell chopper trikes and/or sell the conversion kits.

Trikes are brilliant. They look really cool and most people would love to ride one, just to see how it would feel to have two big wheels behind you, and still have that motorcycle feeling. There are many advantages of a trike over a regular motorcycle. You never have to worry about losing your balance when stopping and the trike tipping over, which does happen with its two-wheeled counterpart.

Carrying a passenger is much easier on a trike. In fact, it is simple. With a motorcycle, when you have a passenger sitting behind you, there is always that bit of fear in your mind that you’ll lose your balance and ‘dump’ your passenger on the asphalt. People will be much more willing to ride behind you if they’re offered a big comfortable seat and the stability and security of the extra wheel.

Trikes can travel on gravel roads much easier then a regular motorcycle. So, in short, trikes make a lot of sense and they are gaining in popularity. Many aging motorcyclists are having their bikes converted into trikes and the more conversions hitting our highways, the more popular trikes are becoming.

A new trike conversion can be costly. If you’re not particularly handy, you’d have to pay someone the labor costs to take your two-wheeler and mechanically alter it into a trike.

Buying a used trike is sensible for many reasons. You’ll have a ton of options in front of you when you start searching for a great, used trike. Used trikes are considerably cheaper to buy, plus you can shop around via the internet or your local vehicle publications to see what kind of used trikes are for sale.

Another advantage to buying a used trike is that you can search for just the kind of trike you want. Let’s say that you, for instance, loved the old Gold Wing motorcycle you had several years ago. Wouldn’t it be great to find a used three-wheeled version of your favorite old motorcycle?

There are used trikes available and a lot of them. All sizes, styles and models and in every color under the sun. Buying a used trike makes great sense, and you’ll surely find one that fits you like a glove.

Trikes come in a all styles, colors and horsepower. Conversion kits are purchased and installed on conventional two-wheeled motorcycles and the kit can be either installed by the cycle owner himself or added on by the dealer that the kit was purchased from.

Custom trikes can be anything from a flashy and chrome-covered ’showboat’ on three wheels, with an added seat for a passenger to a plainer, more basic unit with just the single seat.

Trikes are made by taking say, a Gold Wing motorcycle that you purchase for $15 to $20,000 and have a conversion done that can cost you $9,000 or higher. The rear wheel and saddlebags are removed and the rear section is bolted on that consists of two wide wheels, a differential, new driveshaft, fenders and rear trunk. Then it is painted to match the color of the motorcycle. If you didn’t know differently, you’d swear that it came directly from a Honda motorcycle factory. They are that well-done and integrated.

You can purchase a fully customized trike, complete with independent suspension, installed with rims, tires and fenders from specialists in the field for a starting price of several thousand dollars.

You can spend as much as you want on your custom trike, with prices going well into the tens of thousands of dollars for a super-sleek and deluxe trike that is 100% unique and ready to ride.

Wide back seats can be incorporated, or perhaps you don’t want a rear seat at only, only a wide storage compartment to carry your luggage.
