Hi Everone Smile
I am a new member from Soutnern Georgia. I came across this Forum from Vic post off the GWRRA Mes board. I ride a 85 LTD Trike. It has 99,238 miles on it so far and still runs great.

Welcome, Jerry, to a great site. The senior members have a wealth of information and experience with GL1200's so don't be afraid to ask for help.
Hi Jerry and Welcome,

Hi TNroadrider
Yes it rides and handles great. I will post more pictures as soon as I take some more.
Thanks
Hey good lookin' trike, did you do the conversion yourself or was it already done that way? 8) Wife has said something to me about getting a trike so she could drive it every now and then.

I bought it that way it allready had the conversion on it. It had right at 38,000 miles on it when I got it back in 2002. We have roughly been 61,000 miles on it since we got it and had no trouble with it so far except had to replace the thottle sensor valve on it.

I have another one just like it thinking about putting a 4.3 car engine in it with auto tran in it, but I can't find anyone to do the modifing the frame for it. I have the orginial engine and another American 1200 engine for it. The American 1200 engine won't work because of the heads are different than the orginal Canadian engine that came with it. Bought engines have less than 40,000 miles on them. The Canadian engine have one bad head on it.
