New Site Launch: Kool Trikes Turns Great Bikes into KOOL Trikes! 

Clarksville, TX (07/31/20) by DarinShort.com. For 20 years, former Sprint Car & Winged Modified racer Randy Butler has been turning cool Harley-Davidson motorcycles into Kool Trikes, and today, they’re pleased to announce the relaunch of their www.KoolTrikes.com website, and invite you to go take it for a test ride! 

Since day one, Kool Trikes suspension systems and kits are at the core of its wildly popular success and are designed and built by a former Sprint Car driver that thoroughly understands suspension function and maximizing performance – which results in a totally Kool and comfortable ride! 

At the new site, you can watch their video showing a wide range of design looks and suspension components. The Kits/Models/Options page shows design options to fit your needs as well as decide on a kit style. And if you own a Harley TriGlide, they have a fantastic suspension upgrade available for it. They offer the flexibility of several types of payment processing as well. 

Kool Trikes founder Randy Butler originally of Juneau, Wisconsin, has been in the automotive rebuilding industry for over 30 years, paired with a successful Sprint Car and Winged Modified racing career. 

Randy, having a passion for motorcycles, trikes and motorsports has integrated his proven engineering, fabrication and machining skills to produce a premier independent suspension trike conversion kit that would become the best riding, handling and value on the market. 

Randy also has a unique selection of fiberglass body designs and options that will satisfy the most discretionary rider.  Kool Trikes has been the name properly assigned to this amazing feat of engineering accomplishment and wonder – and is well on its way to becoming an industry leader in the Trike conversion industry - and click www.KoolTrikes.com to see why! 

DarinShort.com would like to welcome Kool Trikes to its family of businesses and individuals seeking online and offline marketing/advertising solutions – and wishes them continued best of luck into the future!

I remember the day that Randys brother approached me and said, "hey do you want to help me build a race car?".  Previously I had been involved in flat track motorcycles and was between projects.  I really didn't expect it to last more than a couple of months anyway and with nothing else going on, I agreed to help.  

Several years and thousands of hours later, we had put together some pretty fast cars.

Memories, oh yeah, I've got a bunch of them...

Cool story and thanks for sharing. I will make sure to let Randy know to check out your response.

Awesome first post too!
