Saw this posted on the shadow forum so thought I'd share here.  Looks pretty interesting.

Actually doesn't look bad.. compared to a lot of the other "front" trike options out there now.

 I'd really consider one, if they would consider putting one on a 1500 Valkyrie. According to the website, only 1800 'Wing right now.

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Couldn't get the video to play right but it looks like a set up GiG and I saw at camp in Sturgis few yrs ago. The guy (inventor) was driving the prototype as he was to meet with some folks to talk about a deal about the set up. It looked good and had a few crud parts but it was a prototype. Super nice guy and gave us his business card. I'll have to go look and see if its the same company.

I've been following them for a couple of years. A Valk 1500 was one of their developmental bikes. They offered ot for sale about the time I began following them.

As to Old Too Soon & $$$$, I've read in this forum of 1800 GW variants selling new in the range of +/- 11K, add 12K for kit, 2K installation, and you have a 25K reverse leaning trike as opposed to +/- 38K for a new California Sidecar/Roadsmith/Motortrike etc. trike. Plus, you still have the original bike by only reinstalling the front forks.

I inquired about a year ago and was told "no immediate plans" for a 1500 Valk. Personally, I think they can be persuaded after they get settled in with a network of authorized installers.

I now ride a trike and many trike people say a Valk trike is the best and I completely agree.

That friend of mine that just purchased that H/D trike off the showroom floor-2016 model-with the chrome package he is at smidge over 34 G. NO W/S NO extra top mounted trunk and got that 103 engine. A new G/W trike assembled in Missouri-don't know hat kit they are using-35 G. The Honda dealer in Springfield has those G/W trikes. AND too think I was considering a Can Am.  Lips Sealed RIDE SAFE.
