Tilting Motor Works: Leaning 3-Wheeled Harley - MotoUSA

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Bob Mighell, founder of Tilting Motor Works, stopped by the Motorcycle USA offices to demonstrate his bolt-on conversion for Harley-Davidson Tourers, Softails, Dynas and Gold Wings that places two leaning wheels on the front of the motorcycle. See his tilting three-wheeled Harley in action and read our Tilting Motor Works feature article: www.motorcycle-usa.com/2016/01...

    Been riding Triglide for 8 yrs. & can't help myself from knowing this set up looks good. The trikes are a blast to ride but being able to lean into a bends again would be sweet.

    Hmmm, such a simple idea but in reality (when you get down to trying to implement something like this) it gets REALLY technical REALLY quickly, and it looks like this company really did a terrific job at handling all the engineering hurdles in designing this suspension such that it yields what's essentially an OEM feel. Very very awesome engineering, quite impressive.

    I need my wife to test ride one of these. Great engineering so it seems. The brakes must be great all that surface area! I have been a mechanic all my life and tell you guys that are skeptics this front end is well engineered, and at this point in time in motorsports is needed to keep some of us old guys riding!

    I think they look pretty cool. Kinda a retro / steampunk kinda look. Yeah they are expensive but if you can get your hands on an old harley or possibly a wrecked one you could end up with a really unique cruiser for about the same cost. I think they would be great for cruising with a passenger on back or for touring.

    I know what it's like to hit a patch of gravel/sand while entering a turn! Goes without saying, any loss of traction in your front tire, usually results in dumping the bike? The engineering behind this, is pure genius! A very impressive product indeed! And makes sense on so many levels. Definitely on my wish list. Cheers!
