Setting up my trike!  (United States)

Hi everyone!

I have been following your forum and my husband and I decided to go ahead and purchase the Tow-Pac trike kit for my '08 Burgy 400. We started installing it yesterday, and should be finished this weekend! I am SO excited to get it on so i can ride next to my hubby on his Harley. See, I purchased my scoot in May. My first two times trying to ride I laid it down HARD. Both my body and the scoot's took some scrapes. So, now I'm pretty gunshy. And, I am a little vertically challenged at 5'4" so I couldn't flatfoot sitting on it, which i didn't like. Took the MSF training course and passed, but rode a 49cc Ruckus. LOT different than my 400!

For those of you riding the trike, any pointers?

Thanks again! this forum was the reason we decided to buy!

Welcome Sue, just take it easy until yiu get comfortable with the turns, it stears like a car, not a bike.   Wayne

Sue, you couldn't have made a better trike kit choice.  You will love the ease in riding.  Just take it easy around corners until you get used to it.  I recommend going to a parking lot and do figure 8's for about an hour.  This will give you confidence in both the stability of the Tow-Pac and your own abilities.  I wouldn't be without my "trike".

Well, hubby and I went on our first road trip. Went to Louisiana from Houston - around 270 miles round-trip. The burgy handled great! Only problem I noticed was I had to counter-steer alot when a big vehicle went by. Everyone is right about the steering. My husband would follow behind me on his harley, because he knew I'd have to slow down for a big curve.

It was so cool! People were taking pictures out their car windows! I've submitted a few pics...waiting for them to be posted.

Thanks again everyone for all your advice. I highly recommend the tow-pac trike kit to anyone wanting to ride, but have reason for hesitating.

Glad you got your kit installed, and that you are enjoying it.  I, too, have to plan all my trips with time included for answering questions and for picture taking.  Everywhere I go, it draws attention.  You'll get used to the steering rather quickly.  Congrats!
