![]() ![]() Generally these changes are made to Harley trikes instead of Harley bikes, but I have seen a couple of bikes that have had the conversion made. To get a Haley with an automatic transmission you are going to have to install an adapter. Just because Harley Davidson does not have a motorcycle with an automatic transmission ready on the showroom floor, does not mean that you cannot get an automatic transmission on a Harley Davidson. There are Automatic Alternatives Available You also have to consider the design complications, like designing an automatic transmission that would not add to much weight to the bike, or designing a bike that looked good with a gear box under it. The automatic transmission development would be costly, and at this time Harley Davidson has not seen enough interest in an automatic transmission to make it worth their time and effort to develop one. The automatic transmission would take away the tough appearance, and if you are going to take away the toughness you might as well be riding a Honda, or a Moped. People riding Harley Davidson bikes have lone wolf imagery, they are seen as tough, and hard core bike riders. These increases and decreases in RPM’s are done by shifting the gears, and an automatic transmission will not allow you to shift in this manner and control your RPM’s to the same degree. When a Harley Rider is coming up to some treacherous curves they can increase or decrease the RPM’s their bike is running at and improves the control they have as they go around the curve. Reasons why an automatic transmission Harley has not been produced Automatic transmissions take away some of the control There have been several attempts in the past to design such a bike, but none of the designs ever panned out. Harley Davidson does not currently have a motorcycle that has a fully automatic transmission. ![]()
