Leans in corners?

[rmonthei]

I am new to this forum. Thanks.

I have a 2014 HD Ultra Limited with a new CSC conversion. Bike leans in the corners and very sensitive steering. Ride is very comfortable.

Should I put a steering dampener on, and some kind of anti-sway bar?

Thanks

Sir - welcome to Trike Talk. Congrats on your new CSC conversion. Before I got my 2021, I had a 2014 Ultra and was considering triking that.

Please do post a picture so we can see your new trike.

My trike does not "lean into the corners - trying to imagine what you are saying. You did mention that the steering is very sensitive. Sounds like you had a rake kit installed - do you recall what degree you got. For my Ultra, I got 11% - and believe this is the right thing from your bike.

Also, what installed your kit?

Finally, CSC has a passenger comfort ARB package that is designed to give the passenger a more comfortable ride. Don't think that has any effect of the bike handling.

By the way, I run 40 in my front tire and 26 in my rear tires. Have a very smooth ride and handles well.

Hi Randy, to Trike Talk

Does your trike have independent rear suspension?

Hi Randy, to Trike Talk

Does your trike have independent rear suspension?

Given he said it was a new CSC conversion, I have to imagine it is Independant (Daytona conversion package).

Yes it is Independant suspension.

I should have listened to Joe at C&C Custom. He said I should ride it 500 miles. Riding a trike is a very new experience. Once we got used to the way a trike handles it is a dream come true. Best ride of anything I have ever rode on or in. Very comfortable and the wife is so very happy she is looking forward to more rides. Harley Trikes do not have IRS. I have a bet with someone that says they most definitely do.

I consider mine a Harley Trike. Never called it a TriGlude. My trike has the CDC conversion.

By leaning in the corners I think he means that it leans away from the direction he’s turning. I had a 97 wing with a Roadsmith standard sway bar. 5/8” diameter. If I took a right turn the body would lean to the left and vice versa. It would make my stomach do somersaults. I had the heavy duty sway bar, 1”, and it made a world of difference. I don’t know what CSC has but it probably rolls a little being an IR suspension. If you’re not used to it, it’s not a good feeling.

If you go to the OP ‘s post # 11….Every thing is peachy keen now….
