Vehicle Description
1999 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Trike
The Tri Glide Ultra Classic is the first three-wheeled motorcycle
produced by Harley-Davidson since the Harley-Davidson Servi-Car,
which was manufactured from 1932 to 1973. The Tri Glide is based on
the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic, a conventional
two-wheeled touring motorcycle. Harley-Davidson entered into an
agreement in 2008 with Lehman Trikes of Spearfish, South Dakota to
provide parts and "conversion services", and final assembly of the
Tri Glides was initially completed at Lehman's facility.
For consignment a 3 wheeled motorcycle which at first was popular
with more mature riders, and women, now has come to have many
realize the advantages in the three wheeled bike, and popularity
has soared! With a 5-speed manual and optional electric reverse,
it's an easy rider with the long front forks and ape hangers of
yore. It is also very quiet!
The Trike:
With this trike, and its big overstuffed black leather seats you
can go in for the long haul in comfort and do not have to fret
about putting your foot down when coming to a stop. Beautiful red
with black accenting covers the front cowl, (batwing shaped), that
has a small windshield on top. It cradles the headlight and single
running lights on either side. Chromed forks move downward to the
front wheel to support the turn signals and a nicely shaped and
colored front fender is between the forks. The white sidewall tire
is wrapping an American racing front wheel with dual outboard disc
brake. In back we have the two split wheels that are belt driven
through a differential. These rear wheels are also polished
American Racing and are just pristine. A large rear fender covers
the wheels, protects the riders from splash from the rear tires,
and has some rear lighting for extra visibility. On top of this
large "fender" is a plastic molded factory storage box with a
polished luggage rack on top. The fuel tank is teardrop shaped from
metal and is two tone red and black.
The Power:
Within the confines of the solid black steel tubular frame is a
gleaming V-twin engine of 88ci displacement and is putting a max of
68hp. EFI and an electronic reverse is available to make the backup
even easier. Electric start is effortless. A 5-speed manual
transmission allows for nice acceleration, as well as a smooth
fuel-efficient cruise. The V twin is air cooled and just gleams
with pride within that frame.
The Comforts:
Of course the overstuffed padded leather covered in black, buttoned
seats which cascade downward towards the fuel tank and allow for
perfect center of gravity for two. Within the front cowling is a
large speedometer and tachometer. Other necessary gauges in smaller
round form are flanking the instruments in the center, and a flush
mounted AM/FM/Cassette radio is neatly mounted. Your hands are kept
busy with the throttle and various other handlebar controls.
The Structure:
Tubular steel framing throughout is strong and rust free. Dual disc
brakes are up front and a telescoping fork/hydraulic shock setup is
in there to support it. On the back, independent coil overs and a
belt drive push the bike forward effortlessly. Disc brakes are here
too.
The Summation:
This is one beautiful and well cared for Trike from HD. Paint and
body have no scratches, no accidents, and in near mint condition.
16K miles, and just showroom quality all around. Here's your chance
to hit the open road in the open air and open her up for some
thrills for you and your passenger. I say cross country, blue
highways are in your future, and William Least Heat Moon couldn't
have been that far off! (Think "Zen, and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance")
