In my quest to get a trike Im coming accross a lot of bolt-ons.
Is this something I should stay away from or doesnt it matter?

Cheers

my opinion is to stay away, but that doesn't mean they are bad, plenty of them out there that seem to be fine.

My V Max trike is a bolt on and I've never had any problems with it. There's pictures of it on here somewhere.

Bolt on what?
Hardtail, soft tail? IRS or swingarm?
Whatever setup you choose, if it's well designed and built, it will be ok!

Have a look at page 3 on the link for the trike in my signature and make me an offer. The two top boxes are not on it now, but I still have them.

Bolt on IRS works well, but they all look crap unless you choose the right bike to start with!

My trike is bolt on
