I don't know how much it would cost to install the kit, but I'd imagine you'd be in for a fair amount when you are done. There is a Valk trike for sale (not mine, or anybody I know) in MA on the Boston craigslist. Looks decent, and low miles. Not cheap, but I wonder if it would be easier/less expensive to sell your current Valk and buy theirs. I know it's against the forum rules to post a link to a craigslist ad, so I won't.

A friend of mine just had a Roadsmith put on his GL1800 and it cost him $15,000. Looks very nice but lots of $$.

Thanks for your help, I agree with your responses, a lot cheaper to buy a used, than to trike mine, I may do that and keep mine, spent some time customizing it and would not want to sell it at this time, I can spend time riding both

I think it's ok to link a Craiglist ad. Many have done it. We used to have a guy on here who post up killer deals all the time.

It's in the "Rules of the Road" section. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,26857.0.html May not apply, since it's not in the classifieds section, but I'm still pretty new here, so didn't want to blatantly piss off the administration here.

I think if you come across a good deal or something you think someone would be interested in, it will be well recieved.

Luke did a fantastic job and even afterwards, he does great follow up and answers my stupid questions all the time https://www.facebook.com/Allens-Auto-Trim-Inc-566066266738431/Who ever you select, It's very important that only one person works on your bike otherwise things will be missed/left out or not installed correctly (ask Karen)

Hi, thanks for all your input, pretty close to getting a Vaylkyrie Interstate with a Roadsmith kit via a private seller, will know in a couple days.
It's been an interesting experience, sorting thru all the trikes for sale sites etc.. Contacted a couple RS kit installers and left a bad taste in my mouth, but it may have worked out perfectly
Again thanks Frank
