Roadsmith kits for H-D ‘Rushmore’ trikes ROADSMITH has released details of its trike conversion for use on 2014 model year Harley-Davidson Rushmore models. The line-up includes the HDT kit for use on the FLH family of bikes, and to showcase the conversion Roadsmith has converted an Electra Glide Ultra. Beginning with a new seven-degree steering rake kit (previous Harley-Davidson FLH trikes used a four-degree rake), the newly redesigned Rushmore Trike is said to offer responsive handling, aided by the use of Roadsmith’s own design independent rear suspension. The new trikes also retain the stock ABS braking system, featured on the new Rushmores, as well as the linked braking system, for improved stopping power and safety. The HDT model uses traditional Harley-Davidson styling cues, including turn signals and taillights from the original motorcycle. It offers a spacious trunk and is most generally paired with the original HarleyDavidson Tour Pak for long-range storage capacity. A second model, also available for all of the FLH-series motorcycles, is the HDTR which offers features such as a singlehanded trunk release, longer fenders and retro-styled all-inone taillights and turn signals.
