I wouldn’t buy a single thing from that guy! Trash! He is single handedly ruining the big dog name! And I agree, but I also believe that you should only have a trike if you have a disability or are a female… so possibly the wrong guy to chime in lol.

Well if I live long enough I will have to convert one of the K-9's to a trike -- I've started my death spiral already and its just a matter of how long it takes, if I can stretch it far enough I'd likely go to a trike, unless I could figure out how to make a sidecar look cool attached to the K-9.

I just know that eventually I will need that third wheel and no way that I'd pay BigDogisBack 50K for that thing, I'd rake out a goldwing first!

I just watched the video of the new trike that's coming out. Can anyone give a little more insight on this, please?
A friend asked specifically about the rear-end.View attachment 124042
My buddy Cooper just put one of those FrankensteinTrike kits on his Harley Rocker. He likes it but no independent suspension. Solid frame rear & axle. Also if the BigDog trike had 50’s on the back it would’ve made it more appealing… just my .02IMG_2512.jpeg

Well, again, once ya get to a time when ya can’t really hold ur bike up anymore, then yeah, trike it all the way!! But if ur perfectly healthy and u got a trike, just hand me your man card so you can go get a mimosa and be home in time for your favorite soap… ‍♂

One of the old ones.
Watch Stan Hughes burnout with his V8 Chopper trike and you won’t say that…..it’s fearsome. I’m with Mike—-give us old guys some slack. Balance and reflexes suffer when U been at it 6 or 7 decades. Soon enough I’ll be on one if I want to ride and guarantee my years are in the single digits. On 3rd base here…..haha
The BD bike seems pricey, but to each his own………we’ve looked over the one Rick Fairless has at Strokers and agree you will need a backpack if you are planning to tour. Got clean lines and looks like a bar bike to me. Rigid rear end? Can’t tell.

Yes rigid rear end on those BigDogs.
