3 Wheeler

I still young enough to ride but my knees are going bad so I want to convert my nomad to a 3 wheeler, not a bike with training wheels. Please I need some places to call. 2009 Vulcan Nomad. I will appreaciate any help I can get.

Check out this website: www.endeavortrikes.com. They build a reverse trike kit that will fit any motorcycle. Makes your ride look like a can am. They've done many bikes and you can customize it. They do everything including custom paint and the price seems fairly reasonable.

Search "motorcycle trike kits" and "motorcycle trike conversion" in google. There are several companies that offer kits or complete conversions. With kits, you are adding 2 rear wheels. With conversions, they are replacing the rear wheel, and that is usually much more expensive.

If you have the $$ Tilting Motor Works does a front end conversion. I don't think they list the Nomad, but they may have done one by now or can give an estimate for doing one.

As the guys say, theres Endeavor and Hannigan, both are the turn key approach.

I don't like the training wheel kits out there either. I go for the real trikes, either 2 in the rear, or the 2 in the front, either one. But, they're gonna be at least $7500+!

Another option is to use the Harley Style DNA rear trike setup. There are alot of custom bike places that can do this for you, since your bike has the rear belt, instead of driveshaft.
If your into fabrication, and have the tools, you can build it yourself. All you have to do is adapt it over to your swingarm. Straight cutting/welding, and some fab'ing. It isn't so bad, have several friends that have done it. Will save you a ton of money that you can put into customizing your paint, wheels, etc.
Just a thought....the bug is now in your bonnet....

Also, try this....Frankenstein Trikes has kits to fit all kinds....

Here is my Kawasaki 1700 Nomad Endeavor Trike for when my wife and I ride together. It is awesome. I had a Can Am Spyder for 3 years and got tired of it looking like a transformer and sounding like a Volkswagen.

Well I tried to paste a picture and it would not take. You can look at my profile if you'd like to see what it looks like. As far as I know it is the only Kawasaki 1700 reversed trike in the world.

Are you the only guy that Endeavour made a 1700 Kawasaki trike for ?

**plumber63** · 07-04-2019, 07:20 PM

Here your reverse trike.

I am currently contemplating getting a used F3 Spyder. It might be the only thing I can ride in the coming years.
There is a Spyder dealer within walking distance when it comes time for servicing.

Champion makes a trike conversion.....I rode a Vulcan Classic that had been professionally converted and it was comparable to a Gold Wing trike.

redjay · 07-05-2019, 04:57 PM

I don't want to trike my current bike, a 2008 Yamaha V Star.

I owned a Spyder RTS for 3 years. Get prepared to spend some money on maintenance.

Can you be more specific ? Oil changes and brakes I will do myself.
