I would have the tire balanced by someone who knows what there doing before changing things.
hello. is there any experts in LL forks
im having a little problem with my leading link front end , ive built
for my trike,
its bouncing a bit down the road,
it works well on bumps, speed ramp and even going over small animals ,
but when im on a motorway about 50mph and over it bounces like the shocks
where iron bars,
shocks are out off a kawaski vulcan 1600 which must be far to heavy but
are needed just to keep the front end up and the swing arm straight
she weighs about 25 stone (350lb) on the front wheel
i have the rake and trail down to about 3" which is not bad
i moved the shocks to the front on temporary brackets but that didnt
work,
i think the shocks are far to hard but i dont no what way to move the
shock brackets so i can put lighter ones in ,
i was also thinking the fork pivot is to far back and i mite need to
be moved closer to the bottom of the shocks,
so its closer over the axel ,which i was thinking it would put the
weight more on the axel
than the back of the swing arm,so i could put lighter shocks and
springs in
i would like to be sure before i chop it
up .
i have more pictures and sizes if needed
cheers! stevie

cheers Bazooka
i think ive done that pepper
Do you think the fork tubes are flexing? Looks like there's a big stretch between your upper shock mount and the steering head. Could this be the problem? Not enough strength in the triple tree. Just thinking. Hope you get it solved. Keep up the good work.
