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.

Very good installation video, excellent detailed.

Another great vid. I want to come to the shop just to see one being done.

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

You're always welcome to come by, but I can't guarantee we'll be doing a build at that moment of course. But we're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CST.

[@jmartinezstudios]

Change up the music. Good vid

[@tchogworks1987]

I like the looks of the axle and swingarm. But just fenders and losing the saddle bags I don’t care much for. Do you’ll sale a more of a rear body kit with a lower trunk?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

Our kits do not have a body or a trunk. Most of our customers will use a tour pack or something similar. For more information, check out www.frankensteintrikes.com or give us a call at [phone]. We're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CDT.

[@robertalva1166]

Fantastic job! Looks great! I'm entertaining the idea of converting my 2018 Road Glide Ultra. Can you give me a price on the kit?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

The price varies depending on what package you're wanting to get. Here's a link to the kit for your bike: frankensteintrikes.com/trike_kits_flt-flh-roadking_2013-up_page.html We do have a reverse that would work, but most of our customers find they don't need a reverse because our trike kit only adds 120-150 lbs to the weight of the bike, compared to other trike kits that are quite heavier. Give us a call for more details, our number is [phone] and we're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CST.

[@chrisl.7345]

Wow suddenly the whole rear-part was mounted…..🤔😉

[@truthbetold8408]

Does it affect the ABS?

[@robertalva1166]

Do you have anything to do with a reverse gear?

[@fastsilverado]

What size are the tires on this build?

[@wiseman007100]

In fucking sane!

[@jacklynn4424]

Spent 20 minutes on how the fenders get bolted up but not a damn thing about mounting the new axle assy. What's up with dat?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

Check out our other videos, there's one with a softail that goes over mounting the actual rear-end.

[@johnlafayette7744]

How that's goes in reverse??

[@db13401]

Can I order just the swingarm and rear end for a softail and use my own wheels,tires ,brakes ,etc?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

You can definitely do that. The only issue is that our fenders and fender brackets may not work with different wheels. Give us a call to discuss details. Our number is [phone] and we're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CST.

[@stevenpierce4359]

What do they ride like

[@unclejed5342]

I would like to keep the exhaust I have now. Do you offer the little exhaust step downs separate or do I have to make my own?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

It depends on the year and model of bike and exhaust. Generally, if the exhaust go past the front of the rear wheel currently on the bike, it won't work with our kit.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

What do you do about luggage. Or is this for show and bar hopping?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

Most of our customers use a tour-pack for luggage.

[@robbiecruzie5778]

Have any kit for Dyna wide glide, Honda fury,size rear tires available with these kits

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

Here's a link to our page for Dyna's: frankensteintrikes.com/trike_kits_dyna_page.html As for the Honda Fury, we do not build any kits for shaft-driven motorcycles. Let us know if you have any questions.

[@obryantribe385]

Will this work for an Indian Chieftain and can the bags not be reinstalled?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

We've done some kits for Indians in the past, but none of the newer models. And that is correct, the saddlebags with not work with our kit without some custom fabrication. For details, give us a call at [phone] or an email to [e-mail] . We're open Mon - Fri, 8 am - 5 pm.

[@PappysCycles]

How many labor hrs is in one of these conversions?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

It really depends. Some of our customers stretch it out over a weekend, but some are able to finish it within a day. We usually are able to convert a bike within around 6 hours, but the triple tree takes longer and depends on the triple tree. Sportster trees take less time than touring model trees.

[@daniellest-pierre8]

I am a 61 year old grandma and just bought myself a motorbike. Would your kit work on my vintage 2014 Indian Classic? If so, how much does one of your kits cost please ? I'm from Quebec, Canada Thank you very much for your help, it is my dream to have a three wheeler :)

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

We have done some older Indians in the past, but we haven't done anything newer. If it's bike or chain drive, our kit would probably work. We would need a couple measurements to determine which one of our kits would work. The first measurement is the overall width of the rear wheel and tire. Place a straight edge on both side of the rear wheel and tire then measure in-between the two straight edges. The second measurement is the distance from the edge of tire to the outside edge of the pulley or chain. We would not have a swing arm for your bike. Your swing arm would have to be modified. If you have any questions, please give us a call. Our number is [phone] and we're open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 5 pm CDT.

Doesn't this guy have any air tools or cordless

[@davidfellows6250]

you loose all your bags? no trunk or bags offered?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

Usually saddle bags will not work, as they will hit the fender brackets. Some of our customers have made custom brackets for saddlebags or moved them forward or up to make it work. A lot of our customers go with a tour pack. We do not offer any tour packs, as there are so many of them.

[@davidfellows6250]

@@frankensteintrikesusa thanks

[@jakejakela7955]

Do they have.reverse?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

The reverse that we have used in the past is from champion it is a mechanical reverse kit that goes on the right side of the transmission. It works on 1988 and up big twins. There is no reverse available for sportster, V-Rod or the Harley street. Our kit adds about 120 to 150 pounds to the weight of the bike. Other kits can add much more weight. A bike with our kit installed is easy to push around. If you have any questions let us know.

[@stevenpierce4359]

How about stering

[@goldbeed6202]

how do you reverse with this kit?

[@rollogo265]

How much is your kit?

[@frankensteintrikesusa]

It depends on the year and model of the bike you're converting. You can see pricing on our website, www.frankensteintrikes.com

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Converting a bike to a trike is expensive and you have a lot of parts left over. A side car is cheaper by far . They are so much lighter as well. Plus you can take your dog 🐶🐕 with you.

[@jamesrichardson771]

Huh' - did I miss something" I blinked my eyes, and the entire rear end, was magically" on the bike 😫

[@Thomas-fo9zu]

You skipped over the hole rear end installation. That was the mystery, anyone can put nuts and bolts together.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

This bike never saw much soap and water.

[@garybaker8033]

I see you putting it together but I didn't see you riding it you scared
