Honda F6B Trike Conversion with a Custom Reverse
The F6B Is a beautiful machine. We were lucky enough to get to bring one back to life after a little dust up and it came back better than ever!
Charles brought us his F6B wanting it to be a slick-looking trike that rode as comfortable as possible. So we pulled out all the stops.
We went with the Hannigan independent suspension trike kit for a super smooth ride.
The wider 180 front end rake kit for better trike handling and easier steering.
Running board ground effects for keeping the weather off him and ties the look together.
Added LED Lights for style & safety.
Reused F6B saddlebag lights on the trike body as signal / running lights.
Lighted Spoiler (brake light) on the back of the trike body for more visibility.
Chrome wheels
Trailer package - Tow hitch and receiver and tie-downs on the trike frame for easy transportation.
Battery tender plug and a power accessory block for ease of adding more accessories later.
Auxiliary fuel tank.
A reverse that is not available on the F6B from Honda or with any trike conversion on the market.
The simple fact is trikes are large, heavy machines. Most riders park smart 99.9% of the time but there will always be that one time that you will need to back it up. Without a reverse to help, you will be pushing it! That is why UNB Customs works so hard to try to offer a custom reverse to trikes whenever possible.
UNB was able to custom fit a reverse motor in the Hannigan trike suspension. It was then set up to operate with a simple switch mounted inside the switch housing on the handlebar making it look factory!
Another detail we wanted to improve for Charles was the location of the trunk lock and how the trunk light activated. We moved the lock to the fins side cover instead of below the spoiler for easier key access. We also wired the trunk light to only turn on when the trunk door is open so it won’t cause any unnecessary draw on the battery.
We look forward to seeing more and more of these F6B trikes out on the road!
Enjoy your ride Charles!
