Looks kinda cool but my first thought was that someone has waaaaay too much free time. It’s new though. I don’t think anyone has done this before. Gotta wonder how much weight, in the trailer, it can pull and how fast it can cruise doing it. Too bad there isn’t an interview with the owner and/or builder to go with the picture.
As a marketing tool, a promotional vehicle for say a dealer, this thing is fantastic. If this rig were at a rally or sitting someplace during Bike Week, you would stop and look, wouldn’t you? I would.
Looking at the plates on the cars in background, this rig is in Europe so I doubt it is anything other than for display and not used on public highways.
Calif Phil is right on with his comment! I am sure the cease and desist letters have already been sent!
Also, I see that the trailer has been updated to reflect the latest change made on all H-D trailers, that being the words “Made in USA” removed from them.

I’m assuming the center leg is not bolted at all but has an extended axek with spacers in the middle and bolts up like any other front end, you think ???
I saw this Way Cool rig in Sturgis several years ago – The Trailer is as cool as the bike, it’s all setup for living, wish I would have taken pic’s so I could share here. I would like to see it again some time…
This was initially built as ” The Nine Wheel Harley Rig “. It was built in the late 80’s by Kenneth Kilpatrick of Huntsville Alabama. I see from this photo It has since been modified to incorporate a second front wheel making it now ” The Ten Wheel Harley Rig “. The tractor is a modified Harley Davidson FLT. The interior of the trailer is nicely finished. Kenneth did received license from HD to utilize their paint scheme and logo. I am told, at Harley Davidson’s expense, Kenneth has been able to show his Rig in several countries around the world. Previous comments show some find Kenneth’s creation a waste of time and money. I for one think not.
I knew that the Liberator fairings were wide, but didn’t realize they were 2 front-ends wide. Looks like a very cool Rally Lounge.

I like that fork setup- might be interesting on a trike….
How the center leg is bolted both on the right & left wheel? Anyone knows?
Why?
Holy Sweet Jesus. A lot of skill went into making that thing. Seems like a damn waste.
I wonder when HD will sue him for using the HD logo. I think it’s a cool rig!

I bet the low speed steering takes some effort.
Looks like the one from Sturgis at 2000
Mad Dog,
The question should not be “Why” rather the question should be “Why Not”? Sure cure for boredom I suppose.
Over & Out,

Would like to know more about this constuction how long did it take to build and how much money do you have rapped up in it I think its well done
That even cooler than what I’ve seen on American Chopper.
I wonder if it’s street legal ?
