Dückers in Venlo, as Mike
Dückers explains: “We
built the trike on behalf of
a customer from Germany.
He already had a trike based
on a Victory that he liked very
much. But he was also very
curious about the idea of an
Indian trike from the first day
that the new Indians came out.
When Motor Trike released the
Indian Tomahawk trike kit, he
immediately fell in love with it
and wanted one.”

Motor Trike. It arrived after
a few weeks and during the
conversion it sometimes turned
out to be a challenge for Mike
and his crew—it was the first
kit they had assembled and, like
virtually every kit under the sun,
it needed some adjustments here
and there. But to the complete
satisfaction of both HD Services

Indian was converted into a
three-wheeled beauty.
The trike was built using a 2016
Indian Roadmaster. Motor Trike,

some four inches of travel.
The suspension system is also
specially adapted to handle all
circumstances, such as riding
solo or with a lot of luggage or
even with a trailer and will also
automatically adjust to the driving
conditions! Do you still want to
adjust the suspension yourself?
That’s also possible with a switch
mounted on the left-hand side of
