Thanks to all for nice comments, but find steering heavy!

I went out for a ride yesterday, but find the steering heavy its got standard forks on it,
now is there an easy/ cheap way of making things a bit easier? or do I just have to accept it like people with side cars do,
may be time to go to the Gym otherwise,:AGGHH:

It seems new trike owners including myself found turning requires a lot of muscle. From tips on this forum I learned to use both arms including locking the elbow on the outside arm to help me better push and pull. Now I don't even think about it being hard to do.

Rake the front end, makes a world of difference. Nice looking ride, safe riding.

Come to figure that out too. I lean into the turn, pushing on the outer bar, and pulling on the inner. Helps with feeling of falling of the bike to the outside of the turn. Gonna put a number of miles on the rig before I pull the trigger on triple trees.
