For some of you who find that you need a little help.

Not a bad looking kit. I don't need one just yet.

cactusjack · 10-20-2011, 05:56 PM

I hope I *never* need one.

I haven't seen the stats yet, but it is rumored that HD owners as they age are purchasing a certain 3 wheel alternative, evidently it has been a closely guarded secret. Kind of difficult to maintain the tuff guy image on 3 wheels. Now what was the name of that ugly.............

I rode a Nomad with a Tow Pac "Insta-Trike" kit and it rode just as good as my friends' California Side Car trike that cost over $12,000. The Insta-Trike only cost $3899 and can be put on or taken off in ten minutes or less. Nice ride. If I ever have to go that route it's the one I'll buy.

Kind of worthless on a Nomad as it doesn't appear you can open the bags. When I get that old, I'll just get a trike.

**cnc** · 10-21-2011, 07:33 AM

looks nice, but I notice no view from the rear low down. I'm just thinking three wheels across the rear would look weird.

dank · 10-21-2011, 08:28 AM

When that point comes for me, I'll just drive my cars.

rickyboy · 10-21-2011, 10:42 AM

OR,......

Never say never! I'm not sure what I would resort to if I had an issue with holding the bike up.

It does. I've seen a couple of them on the road.

recumbentbob · 10-21-2011, 07:11 PM

I was at an independent MC shop this summer and they had a Goldwing with a kit like that on it. They had just finished installing a new rear tire. they said they had to remove the kit to get the rear wheel off. said it was a hassle.

I commented too bad the guy put another MC tire on the rear as that was the perfect application for a car tire.
The mechanic looked at me for a few seconds and then said "Your right".

Three tires across the back does look kind of weird,

duffy · 10-21-2011, 07:19 PM

They do look a bit "weird" but they sure do ride nice. A bit of a hassle dealing with the state, at least Washington and about 8 others that don't consider them bikes, trikes or autos. I don't regret getting one...........

MTC Voyager does make some kind of "kit" for using the Nomad bags with it's kit. Don't have a clue what it is but the folks at MTC are very helpful.

virg · 10-22-2011, 07:58 AM

I got a tow pac on my 07 nomad and so far I like it when riding 2up and trailer....and you can use the side bags...they open enough to get coats and stuff in....like I said so far it works ...may not be for everyone but bad ankle and hip I can still enjoy riding...Virg

**wompus** · 10-22-2011, 12:13 PM

Well, that leaves ME out... I'm wayyyyy beyond help! <G>
After installing carpet for 46 years I'm almost in line to do something like that.
Trikes are another thought but I'll hold out as long as I can to stay on 2 wheels.
I have Handicapped tags on all my vehicles, except the Nomad.

I have a deep problem with trikes... if your a female or handicapped I can see one, but the way all these yuppies are wanting to be bikers and buying them because they're too stupid to hold up a motorcycle really fries my eggs!!!!
