The move to 3 wheels

[CousinVinnie]

IMPORTANT NOTE: I JUST FOUND OUT THAT NORM KOKES OF ENDEAVOR TRIKES HAS CLOSED HIS DOORS AND SOLD HIS SHOP EQUIPMENT.  NOT DUE TO HEALTH OR ANYTHING BAD....HE IS 73 AND WANTS TO RETIRE. HE WAS GOING TO SELL THE SHOP TO SOMEONE TO CONTINUE PRODUCTION, BUT NO ONE BIT ON IT.

SO, HE FELT THE TIME WAS RIGHT TO RETIRE AND GOT A GOOD BID ON THE EQUIPMENT. HE IS KEEPING THE PATENT RIGHTS FOR NOW.

THAT MAKES MY 3 WHEEL CONVERSION ONE OF ONLY 103 AND THERE WERE ONLY 2 DRIFTERS EVER CONVERTED SO THATS EVEN RARER.

BINGO! I HAVE AN INSTANT MUSEUM PIECE.

Thanks for the info Chief, I got it figured out.  These were taken about 2 months ago in Baxter Springs, KS.  The 66 Station is right on Route 66.  its now a tourist deal but it makes the Drifter look great!

Sorry about there being no pics with post. I am still trying to figure out how to add them.  If you want pics of the conversion send me a regular email and I send some back.

When you are in a post, look at the post nav bar - next to the youtube icon there is a pic icon. You can use that to input into a post. Many files may be a problem.

=== or you can use the Click or Drag files thing at the bottom of an open post - can add multiple files...

=== OR... you can use the Gallery and point to your pics there...

If all else fails you can contact me, send me the pics and I will post them for you and put them in the Gallery.

Cheers.

Glad to hear it.
But, as someone once said, no pics = it didn't happen! 
So, PICS please...

  I haven't been on the forum for quite awhile.  Health issues from last summer have limited everything.  I have developed kidney failure and am on dialysis 3x week.  Don't cry, I am handling it well.
Prior to the kidney thing I had been having concerns about my handling and riding skills.  I just kept getting more and more concerned and riding less.  I love my Drifter and didn't want to give it up or riding.
I knew that going to 3 wheels was was next, BUT I did not want to give up my Drifter and its styling.  I wont ride a TriGlide or a 1/2 conversion. That left CanAms as the only option I could see, UNTIL, I found Endeavor Trikes up in Minnesota.
Endeavor is a one man shop that converts touring motorcycles in to Reverse 3 Wheelers. Its a patented process and for 12,500 dollars you get a great looking machine. You take your bike, give it to Norm and in about 8 weeks he will give you back a completely new experience.
I had my 99 Drifter converted last fall and have been learning to ride all over again and am now to the point that I am beginning to enjoy riding again.
If, for some reason, you feel the need for 3 wheels, give it a try.
