While I'm not a big trike guy, That looks really good. And the suspension is done right!

You better have plenty of muscle.
No rake kit available for the kawasaki's. :???:
That alone would be a deal killer for me.

My wife's trike has an extra 6 degrees,
and it still requires some effort at highway speeds.

It does look like it is put together well. A little cheaper than others, but not by much. Agree about the lack of rake kit, But I havent seen any of the voyager conversions with the rake yet? Maybe having it done by another vendor would be the way to go. Yea, I know, that blows as well, but at lease it would be done and right.

I would think the amount of trail would affect the steering not the rake
more trail = more caster effect

Exactly, the idea is to reduce the trail.
But rake and trail go hand in hand.
The rake kits use different triple trees on the stock head pipe.
The added rake reduces the trail.
Most of the trees also have an offset that effects the trail.

I'm not a trike fan, but that conversion looks real good.

I think that looks like my new bike in about 5 years, if I am not broke by then.

Wife said this is my last bike. So when i'm to old too hold it up I have another way to go
nice looking. The Vaquero would be just fine with that kit.
