starting my 3.8 v6 super charged trike build

[diver]

I too have slight low speed wobble on my sidecar set up I use a steering stabilizer cylinder and all's good may try that $35 and up on flea bay may more on internet
mike

I have two that i used on the old forks and a VW steering stabilizer that is new on shelf. My thinking if i have to add a stabilizer i might want to pursue the hyd steering assist setup that ive been pondering around in my old dementia infested mind.lol

while it is still 3 wheel its a different beast mostly because of the extra weight off to the side..... hmmm wonder if thats why they call it a side car lol
most of the rigs i have set up with low trail numbers usually didnt need a stabilizer
but if ya need it ya need it.... i did have one with a wobble caused by bad headset bearings

to be honest with ya I have never wore out a set of neck bearing I do install a grease fitting and use it seasonally and check bearing torque . when I say slight I mean I can feel with loose grip on bars- my buddy with bike shop thinks it all in my head:xzqxz: and sometimes he knows what he's talk'n about

That looks so nice . great job

tanxs diver
have not messed with fiber glass much since the later 70- early 80's mostly hot boats and drag-bike stuff the bumper mold took about 1 quart of gel coat, 4 gal. of resin and 80 sq.ft. of glass,,, bumper took about 1 spray gun cup gel coat, 3,1/2 -4 gal resin 60 sq ft glass or so ,,, bumper needed vary little work to prep for paint good mold makes good parts good part make good money!!
I think I might get started on trike body in april if all go's well.

I sent you pm call me mike
