Detailed installation instructions are available on our website.

Since 1995 Frankenstein Trikes owner Frank Pedersen has designed and produced award winning Choppers, Custom motorcycle frames and Trikes. In 2005 Frank Pedersen and long time friend Steinar Bergby decided the Trike industry needed the next generation of Trike rear ends.
Frank and Stein adapted their experience in design, style and fabrication to create the revolutionary Frankenstein Trikes Hot Rod Trike Rear end.
The Frankenstein Trike rear end was originally conceived to provide a custom Trike rear end that was lighter, stronger, narrower, more reliable and better looking than what was available.
We introduced the 30” Hot Rod Trike rear end and custom bike builders loved it. What we didn’t expect was the overwhelming interest from individuals who wanted to convert their stock bike into a Trike.
As a result, we made wider rear ends that are better suited for stock bike conversions. Gradually, with each conversion we designed swing arms, fenders, fender brackets and sourced wheels and tires.
Within the first two years we developed kits for most Harley Davidson models. Now we offer our customers complete, simple bolt-on Trike kits, that can be installed in one day. Quality and design set us apart from our competitors.
We use only the best components and materials such as Dana differentials, 9” Ford street/strip axles, billet 4 piston calipers, stainless steel rotors, grade 8 or better hardware and 6061 T6 Billet aluminum.
We are constantly adding new products, listening to user feedback and expanding the options available to our customers. Our Trike Kits are manufactured right here in Pleasanton, Kansas, USA.
We want our customers to have a satisfying experience when purchasing, installing and owning a Frankenstein Trike kit. Our entire staff is dedicated to quality and continuous improvement.
Choosing a Trike kit is an important decision, we expect you to compare our Trike kits to those of other manufacturers. We believe, the more you compare, the better we look.

Looks solid, well made, and easy to install. I saw a blurb on the website about rake/trail "suggested triple trees." I have a stock frame '79 Electra Glide. What extra costs might I need to consider to meet the suggestion? P.S. I don't need schooled on rake/trail, I'm just figuring out what I need to convert my beast. Or should I call? Thanks.
@frankensteintrikesusa
@frankensteintrikesusa 11 месяцев назад
We recommend the raked triple tree for every kit we sell. Without it, you might experience a low-speed wobble or heavy steering. Our kit lowers the rear-end of the bike by around 1/2" so the raked triple tree corrects the rake/trail to make it ride more like stock. We definitely suggest giving us a call for details. Our number is 9133526788 and we're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CST.

We highly recommend using a torque wrench and torqueing all of the bolts to the specifications in the installation manual that came with your trike kit. We also suggest using a lift or something similar to protect the rear-end and to make installation easier. You can find installation instructions on our website, www.frankensteintrikes.com or give us a call if you have any questions. Our number is (913) 352-6788 and we're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CDT.

Hi Taj, check out our website www.frankensteintrikes.com for pricing of our trike kits. You can also find a list of our dealers on our website, for someone who is close to you that can do the installation. Or, if you have a bike shop that you trust, they can usually do the installation. We also do installations in-house, the rear end installation is $540, to install the triple trees is $90/hr (usually takes 3-5 hours, depending on the bike). Painting fenders is $450 for one color, $550 for FL fenders, and $100 for additional colors or pinstriping. Paint can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks, depending on how busy our painter is. If you have any questions, give us a call at (913)352-6788. We're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CST.

About a year and a half ago I saw something that still has me scratching my head. I met a line of bikes in a long sweeping curve, the first 3 were 2 wheelers leaning into the curve the 3rd bike was a trike also leaning into the curve, the next 2 bikes were also trikes straight up, turning the front wheel to make the curve. So my question is how did someone make an articulated trike, how does it work, and how much does it cost?I'm usually pretty good At figuring mechanical things out but that has me stumped
