I wonder what changed?  Was it Australian regulations (which seems more likely) or the trikes themselves (which seems unlikely to me).

One of my riding mates here in Perth has a "Lehmann" trike conversion , done here in WA on a 2104 Ultra

Looks "factory" and he's delighted with it. Keeps him riding ( he's 86 FFsake !)

( When I was at Daytona Bikeweek in 2011 trikes/conversions were HUGE , and the factory trike I think had just been released.)

Lehmann trikes were up to then the "factory approved" conversions keeping warranty if HD dealer built.

Another riding mate , currently on a 2002 V-Rod , one of the originals in WA , has been looking at buying an Ultra for over 2 years and having it converted.

Frasers told him 2 weeks ago of the imminent arrival of the "genuine" factory trike,he did his sums,and reckons he'll be $12K better off buying the HD factory article !!

That is over buying a clean used Ultra and paying the Lehmann conversion costs in WA. I did not do the sums so no "flaming" please.

There is also the Freewheeler trike, that's going to be a LOT cheaper than the Tri-Glide.

Geoff i did look at that but considered that as the member was stepping from an ultra it was best to compare apples.....

Do you have a medical problem?

My balance has been fucked since i broke my ankle 6-8 years ago. Can't stand on one leg or close my eyes in the shower.

Soap/hair/eyes.

I'm not at the point (yet) of not being able to hold up a bike but I've got medical issues in my left leg which are getting worse year by year and at some point I'll have to make some difficult choices, I suspect within the next 5 years based upon progression.
