not yet happy with trike

dont think you will feel and difference at all with the lift kit... i layed this out a while back... not sure what the lift for the kit is but based on a 60 inch wheel base, if you lift the rear 2 inchs at the axle.. you will loose about .57 inch in trail which is not a lot

The steering wasn't the reason I put the lift on, but the steering did change for the good. The reason I installed the lift was to get the mufflers off the pavement, raise the ride without the pressure in the shocks.
It did all the above.......
Much less money to see if the steering change is enough. If not then you have already installed a needed item for ride, & ground clearance..........:Trike1:

Dennis, Lift is 1 1/4 inch. I put it on my 11 T/G [After i put over a thousand miles on the Trike] because i just don't like the looks of the sagging rear, Sought of like the tail dragging cars of the 50's.
To my surprise it lighten the steering effort quite a bit. Don't know why? but it just does....
