When converting your Harley-Davidson, Honda, or Indian motorcycle to a trike, ROADSMITH designs each conversion to look like it was meant to be. We believe in honoring the original motorcycle’s aesthetic, seamlessly integrating the necessary trike components. This challenging process, mastered through our extensive experience, delivers a trike that looks as good as it performs.

Our aim is to craft kits that integrate so seamlessly with the original motorcycle that a casual observer would mistake them for another factory model. These integrated features not only allow the machine to carry significantly more weight while maintaining optimal performance but also eliminate the rider’s concern about balancing extra weight at low speeds or when stopped. The increased size enables us to incorporate valuable additions such as significantly increased storage capacity within our thoughtfully designed trunk, air-ride adjustable suspension for customized comfort, and auxiliary gas tanks for extended journeys. Furthermore, every one of our kits comes standard with a receiver-style trailer hitch, adding even greater versatility. This dedication to design ensures that our kits not only work flawlessly with the host bike but also enhance its aesthetics.

Modern computer technology has revolutionized vehicle design, enabling us to achieve levels of precision previously unimaginable in our trike conversions. We now meticulously scan original motorcycle components, allowing us to design bodywork that integrates flawlessly. The era of laborious trial-and-error with foam and fiberglass is behind us; we can now visualize and refine designs in 3D, ensuring perfect fitment before physical production even begins. While this advanced process is certainly not quick nor inexpensive, ROADSMITH recognizes that this investment is paramount for producing high-volume, long-lasting models. This technology allows us to achieve intricate designs and a level of accuracy previously unattainable. Moreover, 3D printing aids in crucial tactile design testing, allowing for ergonomic and aesthetic evaluations. For example, we utilized a 1/12th scale model of the HTS1800 with 3D-printed ROADSMITH body and wing guards to fully visualize the final product’s form and integration. Our next step involves creating a life-sized wooden pattern for fiberglass mold production. This meticulously polished pattern serves as the foundation for our production molds, ensuring consistent, high-quality reproductions for years to come.

Every body design is developed to possess a factory-integrated look, echoing the stylistic elements of the base motorcycle.
