In appearance, the 2010 FLHXXX Street Glide Trike looks much like its two-wheeled cousin from the front, save for a few changes to the rake angle, front stabilization strut and the braking set-up. The Street Glide Trike was based on a new chassis that had been specifically designed for a three-wheel application. The rake was increased to 32 degrees, while the forks were stretched by 1.775 in., enhancing steering control by reducing effort by up to 25 per cent. Additionally, a steering damper minimizes wobble and lessens bump steer when negotiating turns.

 

Power comes from a twin-cam 103 V-Twin with electronic fuel injection. It delivers 101 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm and is mated to the same six-speed Cruise Drive transmission used on Harley’s other touring bikes. Bringing the three-wheeler to a halt are dual front discs and a dual-disc rear brake system.

 

This fully customized FLHXXX Trike was originally owned by French rock ‘n roll legend Johnny Hallyday and was kept at his home in Los Angeles, California. The unique Buckwild paint job features traditional flames, very much fitting Hallyday’s rock persona. Other custom features include a Bluetooth stereo system, Battistinis shifters, brake pedal, derby cover, footboards and Thunderheaders to ensure this custom Trike announces its arrival. Hallyday was seen many times riding this bespoke Harley around Southern California before he sold it to the current owner in 2016. Included with the sale is the original California registration and insurance card noting Hallyday’s ownership as well as a copy of the California title.
