Steering problem

[Bill Reber]

Sounds like a good theory...but...what if you can't walk and chew gum at the same time:Shrug::xszpv:

I thought that's why we ride Trikes !:laugh::qpnmt:

Still not a "Great" Idea to add a Raked Tree Kit on These if You think there might be a chance that You'll go back to 2 Wheels with it. I've owned, ridden, and installed Raked Trees on 2-Wheelers in the past (especially Choppers) to keep Them "Low-n-Level".....I've had no real issues, but I don't recommend it except for Really, Really Long Term Experienced, Seasoned Riders......ThumbUp

Rob welcome to Trike Talk ..

Make sure The steering head bearings are tighten down they have to be Torqued down more than when it was a two wheeler …

this will most likely continue until you reduce the trail.

what is your pre- load set at, is it real soft and leans easy or is it stiff. what are you running your tires at on the kit. I had a Voyager on a Venture and the only issue we had before we changed out the tree was it was a bear to turn, never once tried to go into a wobble at any speed. I agree about tightening your steer head bearings a little but I would look over the install carefully to be sure nothing in the back is loose or able to sway.
