Two wheels in the front of the so-called Reverse Trike. The production version has been circulating, ranging from Can-Am Spyder, Travertson Striker, until Polaris Slingshot. However, for the modification no one has dared to do it like Scorpion does.
Remarkably, it no need change the frame to install the device. Quite a number of additional devices are connected to the frame, and move some of the components such as the radiator is placed in front. The installing process claimed only takes 6 hours, and it can be done alone.
The first version of this device is only for the V-Rod. But the company promises there will be a similar product for a variety of popular motorcycles, but on request. The closest is to provide for the Harley-Davidson touring type or so-called the FL-coded.
The price of the device is set at U.S. $5,000 or equivalent to Rp. 58 million. Scorpion promising of these components will be available in early spring 2015, or around March-May. Will be informed more about the installation, whether will be available at the dealership or sent to the buyer and installed itself. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SCORPION TRIKES | GIZMAG]
